Found advantage of Russian launch vehicles over SpaceX counterparts

29 May 2020

General Director of CosmoCurs Pavel Pushkin believes that the difference in design schools makes Russian missiles more reliable than American ones. As part of an interview with the agency RIA News the co-developer of the Angara launch vehicle family noted that launch cancellations are extremely rare in our country, and the expert does not recall transfers of a manned flight, and even a few minutes before the start.

The functionary emphasized that Russia and the United States have different approaches to the design of spacecraft and the location of spaceports. At the same time, Pushkin was surprised by the "light" attitude of the Americans towards the construction of missiles.

Given the frequent and unforeseen changes in weather conditions associated with the proximity of the cosmodrome to the ocean, this factor must be introduced into technical assignment in the design of American spacecraft. In Russia, all missiles were originally military, so they had to fly under any conditions.

We have written in all technical tasks that in hail, snow, rain, we must launch a rocket

- noted Pushkin.

A vivid confirmation of this is the successful launch of the Soyuz launch vehicle on the Glonass-M satellite on May 27, 2019. Then lightning hit our booster.

Sudden cancellations of starts due to weather conditions can occur when it comes to unmanned missions. But the recent transfer of the Crew Dragon flight to the ISS looks extremely undesirable, since the crew went through all the stages of preparation, and the start was canceled in the last minutes, the expert emphasized.

Funkioner emphasized that Russia and the United States have different approaches to the design of spacecraft and the location of spaceports. At the same time, Pushkin was surprised by the "light" attitude of Americans towards the construction of missiles.

The "functionary" probably forgot how the Saturn-5 rocket was created and tested.

Sudden cancellations of starts due to weather conditions can occur when it comes to unmanned missions. But the recent transfer of the Crew Dragon flight to the ISS looks extremely undesirable, since the crew went through all the stages of preparation, and the start was canceled in the last minutes, the expert emphasized.

Just the cancellation of a manned launch due to weather conditions is more logical, because the loss of cargo is an undesirable but compensable loss, the loss of people is not.

that cancellations of launches are extremely rare in our country, and the expert doesn’t even remember the transfers of a manned flight, and even a few minutes before the start.

Union MS-02 - postponed for technical reasons.

A vivid confirmation of this is the successful launch of the Soyuz launch vehicle on the Glonass-M satellite on May 27, 2019. Then lightning hit our booster.

It was the launch of a satellite, not a manned ship. SpaceX also launched its rockets in adverse weather.

        In total, more than three dozen models of the descent vehicle of the ship with serial numbers from BP-1201 to BP-1233 were manufactured under the Apollo program. They were used to train crews of search vessels around the world. It is known that the instance with the number BP-1204 "lit up" at the base in Rota (Spain), with the number BP-1215 - in Japanese Yokosuka, with the number BP-1223 - on the Azores, with the number BP-1227 - in the Bay of Biscay.

The Americans just cancel missile launches, not because of lightning, but because of stormy winds. Which on Baikonur is not due to the lack of nearby sea there.

Interestingly, the launches of Russian Soyuz rockets from the Kourou cosmodrome, located on the coast, are also periodically postponed due to weather.

Just the cancellation of a manned launch due to weather conditions is more logical, because the loss of cargo is an undesirable but compensable loss, the loss of people is not.

It is logical to use a reliable carrier for manned launches that does not depend on the vagaries of the weather. The cargo can just wait, people can not, sitting in the ship, wait weeks for weather from the sea.

Union MS-02 - postponed for technical reasons.

Ага.

And Roskosmos reported this a week before the launch.

https://www.roscosmos.ru/22667/

I believe that by then the astronauts had not yet managed to occupy their seats.

It was the launch of a satellite, not a manned ship. SpaceX also launched its rockets in adverse weather.

This is what this is said about.

In bad weather, SpaceX could risk launching a satellite. There is no reason to talk about manned launches. SpaceX did not send people even once. Apparently, the "delicate creations" of the Mask do not risk sending with people.

I looked at whether there were such cancellations with us, I did not find it.

Can you tell me?
There was such a case, a manned launch, because of the strong wind they delayed the translation of the rocket into a vertical position. The launch itself went without delay.

Roscosmos reported that the launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle from the Baikonur cosmodrome with the next expedition to the International Space Station (ISS) was not transferred, despite delays in installing it on the launch pad due to strong winds. “Today at Baikonur, the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with the Soyuz-TMA-20M manned spacecraft was transported to the launch pad. Due to weather conditions (wind speed over 15 m / s), the verticalization of the launch vehicle was postponed. There is no decision to postpone the launch, ”said the representative of Roskosmos

There is no such carrier. The wind affects both the American and the Russian missile in the same way. The only difference is that the Americans launch their rockets from the sea coast, where stormy winds are a frequent occurrence, and Russia launches its launches from Baikonur, where stormy winds are nonsense (due to the sharply continental climate).

For some reason, at the Kourou spaceport at least 3 times the launches of the Unions "not responding to the weather" were postponed due to weather conditions.

people cannot sit in a ship waiting for weeks from the sea for weeks.

They don’t sit there.

I looked at whether there were similar cancellations with us, I did not find the request. Can you tell me?

There are no tropical storms in Baikonur. On Koura, the abolition of the “Unions” due to weather conditions is a fairly common occurrence.

  What are you saying. And when they built the spaceport on the shore, didn’t you know anything? Is there a problem with the territory in the USA? Or did you hope that the weather will always be wonderful? The person who chose the place for construction should be put on the fairing at the next start.

    Not just guessed, but knew. And Florida was chosen for the cosmodrome for one simple reason - it is located close to the equator, which allows to increase the mass of the payload due to the natural rotation of the Earth.

      This is what is being said. They strove for greater economic efficiency. Russia has a different approach. Launches are less dependent on weather conditions, this is an opportunity to launch exactly on schedule.
      Russians take and launch a rocket, Americans with the French land on the shore and wait for the weather from the sea.
      
      Therefore, they simply leave the ship while waiting, and then return back.
      
      It is not as easy as you think. It's not like getting in a car and driving.
      
      Astronauts come to the training center in advance. There they live and undergo all the necessary preparatory procedures: physical training, a complete medical examination.
      
      And now the launch is canceled. They continue to live in the same isolated conditions, the preparation procedure is repeated. This, incidentally, is an additional cost, but this is not the main thing. The main thing is the psychological state. It may happen that the astronaut is simply not ready for the next launch, the crew will need to be replaced.

        From the Kourou space center, manned launches are not carried out in the Unions.
        
        What's the difference? If the Union does not respond to weather conditions, then what prevents it from starting with an unmanned load?
        
        Russia has a different approach. Launches are less dependent on weather conditions, this is an opportunity to launch exactly on schedule.
        
        That's right, they depend less on weather conditions. Because the weather is calmer, and not because "the Union is not afraid of either wind, thunder, or storm."
        
        It is not as easy as you think. It's not like getting in a car and driving
        
        But not anyhow what a difficult job.
        
        The main thing is the psychological state. It may happen that the astronaut is simply not ready for the next launch, the crew will need to be replaced.
        
        In astronauts, as well as astronauts, they recruit people with steel testicles. They are being prepared for long-term expeditions to the ISS, where people have been living for months in isolation and in very cramped conditions. For several days in the quarantine room, before they start, they will easily wait. And if suddenly (which is very rare, but it happens) for some reason the crew cannot participate in the second attempt to launch, there is always a pre-trained and prepared reserve crew for safety reasons. And with us, and with the Americans.

There was such a case, a manned launch, because of the strong wind they delayed the translation of the rocket into a vertical position. The launch itself went without delay.

This launch was completed only after the wind decreased to an acceptable level.

  Let's not stupid. I tell you about the launch September 2016 year.
  
  ROSKOSMOS decided to postpone the planned on September 23 2016 of the launch of the Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft for technical reasons after conducting control tests at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
  
  You are talking about a possible delayed launch due to a gale, another ship, and at another time.
  By the way, the ship started on time, as promised.
  
  Soyuz TMA-20M - launched March 19 In 2016, a Russian spacecraft delivered three members of the ISS-47/48 expedition to the international space station.

    So do not be stupid. I gave you a link about the same case you indicated when the manned launch of the Union was postponed due to wind.
    
    By the way, the ship started on time, as promised.
    
    That's right, because by that time the wind had died down. And now we read the quote from this article:
    
    Even if the verticalization of Soyuz-FG is carried out tomorrow, the launch crew will have enough time to prepare the rocket and launch on the night of Friday to Saturday. If the weather situation does not improve tomorrow, then it may be necessary to transfer the start date to the reserve day - the next day, "he said.
    
    Again. The reason that there are fewer transfers of manned launches of the Soyuz than transfers of American manned launches is because strong winds happen in Florida much more often than at Baikonur. For the sea is near.

      You exactly DOWN. How much can you repeat?
      1. September и March not the same thing. These are different launches. ВЕСНА и ОСЕНЬ You see, this is a slightly different time.
      2. Postponed the translation of the rocket into a vertical state a week before launch. This is not the same as getting on ships and waiting for the weather.
      
      That's right, because by that time the wind had died down. And now we read the quote from this article:
      
      I read it. And I understood the meaning of what I read. What you did with the text is the same, I'm not sure.
      The launch is prescribed after the preparation of the rocket. We have a delay in preparation due to weather conditions.
      The launch itself was not canceled. Preparing a rocket, putting a crew in it and waiting for suitable weather is not the same thing. I'm tired of repeating the same thing three times. Do you have problems with the perception of information?
      
      Again. The reason that there are fewer transfers of manned launches of the Soyuz than transfers of American manned launches is because strong winds happen in Florida much more often than at Baikonur. For the sea is near.
      
      The reason is a different approach to the design and operation of the complex, the launch site is a rocket.
      Firstly, the missiles themselves are made using a different technology, the American ones are not designed for overload due to climatic conditions and are forced to wait for suitable weather. They are, so to speak, “fragile” or, if you want, “tender”. It's like a Kalashnikov assault rifle and an M-16.
      
      Pushkin noted that the United States perceives transfers of space launches easier, and therefore cheaper and simpler control systems that are not designed for overload due to climatic circumstances are used for the production of spacecraft.
      
      Secondly, yes, the spaceport located on the coast is more susceptible to weather conditions. I have already repeated this to you three times, no less. Who made them build on the beach?
      They got the best economic efficiency, but lost in reliability and the ability to carry out regular launches exactly on schedule from them is impossible.
      
      Manned and cargo launches vary. Here the main thing is reliability and safety, economic efficiency fades into the background. Do you disagree with this?

        When a manned launch into space is not "naked" people - along with them a lot of equipment is launched into space. And the more the rocket has the ability to put into orbit, the better. Including in manned launches.
        
        Yes, in manned launches, crew safety is more important. Therefore, the Americans and are reinsured, canceling launches in bad weather, what happens not very often. But they ALWAYS have an advantage in the payload due to the fact that the spaceport is located at the equator.

        Since this is not about MS-02 (September), but about Soyuz TMA-20M (March), your statement is that:
        
        This launch was completed only after the wind decreased to an acceptable level.
        
        It is not true. The launch was carried out at the appointed time. He was held exactly at the appointed time. The astronauts did not sit in the ship, waiting for the weather.
        I'm tired of repeating the same thing. You see START-UP HAS EXACTLY AT THE TARGETED TIME, and then what were waiting while "the wind has decreased to an acceptable level "- these are your FABRICATIONS.
        
        Roscosmos was informed that the launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome with the next expedition to the International Space Station (ISS) was not transferred, despite delays in its installation on the launch pad due to strong winds. “Today at Baikonur, the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with the Soyuz-TMA-20M manned spacecraft was transported to the launch pad. Due to weather conditions (wind speed over 15 m / s), the verticalization of the launch vehicle was postponed.
        
        Right. Because the wind began at the time of preparation for the launch. And in this Dragon launch, the weather worsened on launch day. Is that clear, I hope?
        
        This is just kapets. How difficult it is with you.
        In the case of the Union, we have the rocket in an upright position. It is just a mounting operation. They lift a "hefty gizmo", even tower cranes have limitations during operation, up to 20 m / s (this is considered a storm), at a temperature of -15 to -25 ° C - 15 m / s (pre-storm weather). Do you understand? Pre-storm weather, carrying out work was simply dangerous. The missile was installed and that’s it. Flew at the exact appointed time, and so it happens almost always.
        It has nothing to do with reliability and the ability to launch a rocket under weather conditions.
        
        In the USA, everything looks a little different.
        
        But to get started, the weather must be ideal not only on the launch pad, but also in dozens of emergency landing sites, stretching thousands of miles up the east coast of the United States and across the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Ireland, The Guardian continues. NASA and SpaceX have identified more than 50 locations along the entire flight path of the rocket during its twelve-minute ascent into orbit, which may be required in case of emergency.
        
        https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4358320
        
        It was necessary to take into account not only the weather in the area of the Kennedy Space Center, but also along the rocket’s path into Earth orbit, including over the Atlantic Ocean. This is also important because if the launch is interrupted due to an accident, the rescue capsule with astronauts will have to be splashed in the ocean, in a vast area from the east coast of the United States to the British Isles.
        
        https://www.bbc.com/russian/news-52823710
        
        Do you understand? They are waiting PERFECT weather is everywhere. Everything is not limited to one wind. By the way, yesterday in Florida the wind was only 3 m / s.
        
        During the flight, variables such as wind direction, humidity, temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, etc. are taken into account. Also, launch permit criteria must take into account the safety requirements that protect people on land, at sea and in the air, advanced by the 45th space wing - this also includes the weather requirements for the rocket itself, put forward by the company owning and managing its launch.
        
        Among some weather criteria for starting there is the maximum proximity of rain to the launch pad, wind speed and direction, the maximum allowable wind shear, and others.
        
        These two criteria for launching a rocket taught the U.S. the fiercest lesson about space flights on January 28, 1986, when the Challenger shuttle was launched at a near-zero temperature, which is 20 ° C colder than the minimum allowable temperature for launching the space shuttle MTKK Space Shuttle.
        
        Do you understand how “gentle” technique is? Just at startup, the temperature was not + 20C, but zero degrees. And that’s all.
        
        Once again, I will quote from the article. And again, highlight in bold. If the weather situation does not improve tomorrow, then it may be necessary to transfer the start date to the reserve day
        
        As you can see, there was no need, consider in advance the possibility of postponing the start in pre-storm weather and board the ships, and wait to fly - we will not fly, these are two different things. They board a rocket and do not know if they will fly, they will not fly 50/50.
        
        And I already answered you three times - the ability to put more cargo into orbit.
        
        Do not leave the topic, we are talking about reliability and manned launches.
        
        When a manned launch into space is not "naked" people - along with them a lot of equipment is launched into space. And the more the rocket has the ability to put into orbit, the better. Including in manned launches.

        They got the best economic efficiency, but lost in reliability and the ability to carry out regular launches exactly on schedule from them is impossible.
        
        "Lost in reliability and the ability to carry out regular launches exactly on schedule" and "reinsured, canceling launches in bad weather" are just different words for explaining the same thing.
        Blind love for "American geniuses" does not allow you to reason objectively.
        You just stubbornly fight for more applicable formulations.
        They cannot provide regular manned launches on schedule, the technique is "capricious" and critically dependent on weather conditions, and this is a fact. And everything else, it's just your desire to somehow whitewash their miscalculations.

        Of course, it’s difficult with him. Although not difficult. He simply is not able to comprehend criticism and other opinions. There, a cyclone sailed, which supposedly prevented the launch of an American rocket on May 27, although officially there is no cyclone. Officially, just weather conditions. There is no talk of any cyclone.

        The guy is stubborn and looks at the Americans with love eyes. Such, unfortunately, is becoming more and more. Years of propaganda did not pass in vain. Young people are sure that the Americans are “the most presumptuous,” they have grown up with this. Facts that do not fit into this picture cause rejection. Hence the debate, often just clinging to the wording. Instead of "the citizen has gotten his head", they suggest saying "their excellency deigned to fertilize the land."

        It is wrong. The launch was carried out at the appointed time. He was held exactly at the appointed time. The astronauts did not sit in the ship, waiting for the weather.
        
        Of course, we spent exactly at the appointed time, because the wind decreased and allowed us to perform verticalization (and then launch) on time. Is this your third time repeating a quote where it is written in black and white that otherwise you would have had to postpone the launch?
        
        Do not take an example from the Shadow, think with your head, and not the opposite place on the body.
        
        The rocket is mounted on the holder during verticalization, which increases its rigidity. There is no such additional rigidity during the launch; nothing is holding the rocket in flight. The rigidity of its design falls. And if during verticalization the wind can damage it, then at startup - and even more so.
        
        Do not leave the topic, we are talking about reliability and manned launches.

        I repeat for the sixth time. Bringing the rocket into an upright position is installation work, there are certain limitations. Remember, I wrote to you about tower cranes, the weather was pre-storm, the wind was 15 m / s.

        And exactly the same limitations are there at startup. Both Russian and American missiles. The only difference is that storms are very rare on Baikonur and they are quite easy to predict, unlike coastal spaceports.
        
        The dragon could not take off with a wind of 3 m / s, the Union takes off even under the worst conditions.
        
        And do you have wind loads on the rocket only at the start?) I will tell you a secret - they operate throughout the entire flight of the rocket in dense layers of the atmosphere. And the Dragon was canceled not because of the wind at the launch site, but because its flight path passed through the cyclone. Here is a weather map shortly before launch.

        The cyclone was not above the launch site, but northeast, and it is the northeast that flies the rocket.
        
        I did not find a single message about the transfer of launches of the Unions from the Kourou space center to weather conditions. All transfers for technical reasons.
        
        So, poorly searched.

        The launch of the Russian Soyuz-ST launch vehicle with the European scientific apparatus Sentinel-1B from the French Kourou space center in Guiana, three times transferred earlier, including due to weather conditions, canceled again - this time for technical reasons, reports the European Space Agency (ESA).
        
        https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/571bf1c59a7947240d9f046a
        
        The launch of the Russian Soyuz-ST-A launch vehicle with the Sentinel-1B remote sensing spacecraft from the Kourou Cosmodrome (French Guinea) was postponed for another day due to bad weather. This is reported by the state corporation Roscosmos on its Facebook page.
        
        https://www.newsru.com/world/25jun2013/kuru.html
        
        The rocket launch was supposed to take place the day before, but he was postponed for a day due to adverse weather conditions. Today, the launch also nearly endangered all the same bad weather forced the experts to postpone the launch for half an hour, there was a likelihood of the operation being postponed for another day.

        And exactly the same limitations are there at startup. Both Russian and American missiles. The only difference is that storms are very rare on Baikonur and they are quite easy to predict, unlike coastal spaceports.
        
        The difference is that the Union is a reliable rocket, unlike the Americans, it flies in any weather, while the Americans dry the oars on the shore, waiting for the sun to look out.
        
        And do you have wind loads on the rocket only at the start?) I will tell you a secret - they operate throughout the entire flight of the rocket in dense layers of the atmosphere. And the Dragon was canceled not because of the wind at the launch site, but because its flight path passed through the cyclone. Here is a weather map shortly before launch.
        
        And who is to blame for them that they built a spaceport in such a place? It could well transfer construction to the same latitude inland. Again, the Union flies and the Kourou space center without discounts on weather. Maybe something was, for example, due to some kind of hurricane, but this is not an indicator. The Union’s dependence on weather conditions is an order of magnitude smaller than that of everything that Americans fly, and this is a fact.

        The launch was carried out at 0:02 Moscow time on Tuesday, 26 April.
        
        The launch of the Soyuz-ST-A missile was postponed more than once. Initially, the launch was supposed to take place on April 12, but it was postponed to April 23. On that day, it was postponed for a day due to bad weather conditions, then for the same reason it was postponed on April 24.. Later, the launch was delayed, because during the countdown a certain "anomaly" was noticed.

        These were still “old-school” rockets, not a match for the current squelch.
        
        At the same latitude, they have no territories deep in the mainland, well, look at the map, is it difficult, or what?
        
        The difference with southern Texas in latitude is only 1 degree. They could have located it to the north. Each of the spaceport location options has its own advantages and disadvantages. The Americans chose the economy due to their closer proximity to the equator, but at the same time lost the ability to launch at the appointed time due to weather conditions. It’s not so stupid to pretend.
        
        On April 25, Wikipedia indicated with an error or with the expectation not of Moscow time, but of Guiana time.
        
        It's just the difference in time zones, they launched the 25th, in Moscow it was already the 26th.
        As for the transfer of the launch due to the weather, this is a bit more complicated. Newspapers report this after the launch, I did not find a single message about the postponement of the launch. And there were several messages - Europeans report a countdown before launch due to a technical malfunction, something like this:
        
        The European Space Agency did not disclose the exact cause of the incident, but limited itself to the following message: "Due to the anomaly recorded during the countdown when the Soyuz-STA rocket launched with the Sentinel-1B satellite, the countdown was stopped.
        
        Therefore, it is difficult to determine exactly when and for what reason the launch was postponed, as well as to see what happened to the weather then. Maybe a hurricane or a typhoon was raging. Be that as it may, there are significantly fewer delays in weather conditions than for Americans.

        Saturn 5 is the final version of the three-stage carrier for the lunar expedition, replacing the five-stage Saturn S-3.
        
        http://militera.lib.ru/explo/chertok_be/21.html
        
        Back in April 1960, management approved a three-stage program to create a powerful Saturn launch vehicle. The first in this series was to be a two-stage rocket “Saturn S-1”; They planned to launch it in 1961. The second is the three-stage Saturn S-2 rocket, launched in 1963. The third is a promising five-stage Saturn S-3 rocket. For all three options, a single first stage was designed with R-1 engines using oxygen-kerosene fuel. For the second and third steps, Rocketdyne Div. was supposed to develop oxygen-hydrogen engines “J-2”. For the fourth and fifth stages, Pratt & Whitney ordered the LR-115 or RL-10 engines.

        I'm starting to get used to your inhibition. Repeat? There are two options for placing a spaceport, in the depths of the continent, where the weather has less influence on launches and on the ocean, where launches are more profitable, but more dependent on the weather. The Americans chose the second option. What this has to do with the reliability of missiles, I don’t understand, because we already calculated that the Americans have as many delays per month as the Unions have for all the time.
        Do not be clever about the value of degrees, it does not suit you.

        To calculate the statistics of carry-over due to the weather of both missiles, simply compare the ratio of the number of transferred launches to the total number of launches. For Unions, this percentage is over 21 (at least). I admit, I didn’t count with the Falcons - nevertheless, it is difficult to analyze each of the 83 launches.

The Union’s dependence on weather conditions is an order of magnitude smaller than that of everything that Americans fly, and this is a fact.

No, the fact is that there are fewer storm winds on Baikonur than on the coast of Florida.

You compare rockets launched from launch sites in different climatic conditions. At the same time, for the correct comparison it is necessary to compare launches in the same climatic conditions. And for this, the statistics of the launches of the Unions from the Kourou spaceport are suitable.

Out of 23 launches, at least 2 were postponed due to weather. Moreover, one launch was postponed due to the weather already twice in a row.

I compare launches from spaceports, for which the rockets were designed.
The fact is that even in similar climatic conditions, Russian missiles are more reliable. Americans have canceled launches much more often than unions from the Kourou spaceport.

Out of 23 launches, at least 2 were postponed due to weather. Moreover, one launch was postponed due to the weather already twice in a row.

Due to bad weather, the American company United Launch Alliance postponed the launch of the Atlas 5 heavy launch vehicle with the American military X-37B spacecraft for a day until 16:14 Moscow time on May 17.

Two transfer launches per month, maybe there were more, I was not looking for. Two and in just a month.

Repeated launch transfers are also not uncommon.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 heavy launch vehicle with 60 Starlink satellites will be launched from the launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida, despite the US coronavirus pandemic.
The launch has already been postponed twice. (May 2, 2020)

Please do not write such nonsense, I can just say that I think about your mental abilities.

Ok, look at the statistics))

Union. 23 launches from the coast, at least 4 transfers due to weather, one of them being double. 21,74%.

I won’t count on Falcon now - it takes time, but I’m working in parallel. You can take any year with the same number of launches (it seems that in 2018 and 2019 SpaceX launched more than 20 missiles) and see how many transfers were due to weather.

What for? I took 1 month and this is 4 transfers. This is a common occurrence for them. What is the point of further reading?
By the way, where did the fourth transfer from the Unions come from? Like talking about three?

You have an amusing (sarcasm) statistics technique)) Statistics, in fact, are kept in percentage terms and under the same conditions. If you took 1 month, then you need to apply it to both American and Russian missiles then. How many Soyuz missiles from the Kuru are launched there in a month?

With your statistics technique, this may turn out to be a funny situation. Suppose (for example, why your logic is vicious), there would be only 1 launch from the Union with Kuru and it would be moved due to weather, it would be only 1 transfer. At the same time (again, let’s say), the Americans would have completed 10 launches, 3 of which were carried forward. In absolute numbers, it turns out that the Unions really have fewer transfers than the Americans (1 vs. 3), but only for the Union this number means that all 100% of its launches from the Kuru were postponed due to weather, and for American missiles - that only 30% of launches.

That is why it is necessary to compare not absolute numbers, but relative ones. The reliability of missiles is also calculated using the same logic - not by the absolute number of accidents, but by their percentage with the total number of launches.

By the way, where did the fourth transfer from the Unions come from? Like talking about three?

Four. There, in 2018, one transfer was due to the weather. I threw the link to it.

And here’s what I managed to dig up about lightning striking rockets:

This is another example of a rule that comes from real experience. During the Apollo 12 mission to the Saturn 5 rocket, which included Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean, lightning struck twice in the first minute of flight.

A lightning strike resulted in the failure of several mission critical systems, including the fuel cells of the command and service module and all navigation displays. The control center began to receive distorted telemetry and messages from the rocket and the team.

Fortunately, lightning strikes did not work on the Saturn 5 flight computer isolated from the Apollo spacecraft, and it continued to function as if nothing had happened.

The mission was saved by one person from the flight control center, who recalled that more than a year ago, one team asked for help to figure out where the strange data they received came from. In the end, he tracked them to the source, “Signal Conditioning Equipment (SCE),” located in the command and service module.

In order for the equipment to resume operation, in the Apollo-12 capsule it was necessary to press the special SCE button. Neither the flight director nor the mission commander knew about this button, but Al Bin remembered it in connection with a completely different training simulation.

Having restored telemetry and transmission of information, the mission entered orbit, conducted a full check of all systems, and as a result successfully landed on the moon, and then returned home.

As you can see, the lightning hit the Saturn too, and 2 times - and nothing, the rocket successfully continued its flight.

Such are the "fragile" American missiles.

Sudden cancellations of starts due to weather conditions can occur when it comes to unmanned missions. But the recent transfer of the Crew Dragon flight to the ISS looks extremely undesirable, since the crew went through all the stages of preparation, and the start was canceled in the last minutes, the expert emphasized.

Cancellations of starts can also take place to attract the attention of the public. Raise the buzz around an ordinary event. If in one word - Advertising.

PS The US urgently needs to raise its image.

By the way, it would not hurt expert Pavel Pushkin to analyze the transfers of launches of Russian Soyuz rockets at the French Kourou space center.

Don’t get smart, they used Kura to earn money and there was no targeted use for the country. The main forces were in Russia.

Right now there is a confrontation between the two space countries for the further development of space technologies. The United States worked on foreign developments and with specialists bribed in other countries. Russia developed its space technology based on its basic scientific achievements. Therefore, such a confrontation will be short-lived and the victory will be for Russia.

Who knows what ... the Americans blew up at the start today? Some kind of "Starship" ..
