The Russian Tsar Engine is preparing for testing

11
Representatives of the Russian space industry reported that in 2020-2021 fire tests of the so-called Tsar Engine will be conducted. This loud and ambitious name was given to the then-Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, now the head of Roskosmos, to the RD-171MV rocket engine:

It is the world's most powerful engine.





Structurally, the RD-171MV is a modernization of the Soviet RD-171M, it is being finalized by the NPO Energomash. A prerequisite is the use of exclusively domestic components. The Russian high-power engine will initially be installed on the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle being created, despite the obvious redundancy for the middle class to which this LV belongs.

There are high hopes for Soyuz-5 in Russia. Being declared as a competitor to the Falcon 9, the new rocket should be as functional as possible: launch satellites into orbit, send crews to the ISS, send spacecraft to other planets. The first launch of Soyuz-5 will be made in 2021, and the manned flight will be made in 2023.

The developers do not hide the fact that they are considering this launch vehicle as the basis on the basis of which many nodes will be developed for the designed super-heavy launch vehicle. While the Soyuz-5 middling is designed for a payload of 18 tons, the future space heavyweight equipped with the Tsar Engine will lift 50 to 130 tons into orbit.

      Unfortunately, you cannot insert links here, but you can easily find information about impulse / detonation rocket propulsion, recently tested at NPO Energomash.
      And in general, the space industry is so specific that in the West things are no better.

      Well, of course. Your level of intelligence is quite sufficient to know the exact results. Others do not have to be aware of all the details.

    Better not to boastfully call "king"
    as we recall, the Tsar Bell is broken, the Tsar Cannon never fired, the Tsar tank immediately got stuck, the Tsar didn’t take off ....
    The Tsar bomb, the Tsar rocket, too, were a catch ....

    Cut the fly, talkers ....

      The Tsar Bell was not broken, but watered with cold water during a fire.
      By the way, the creator of the Pillar of Alexandria and St. Isaac's Cathedral - Henri Louis Auguste Ricard de Montferrand pulled out of a sprue pit ...

        No, everything will be when you are gone. This disease is incurable: such as you will always be disturbed by "these", because of which all your emptiness and worthlessness become not a property of your personality, but external irresistible causes.
