Russia is preparing a "super-heavy" for outer space

3
Russia continues to develop space of technologiesthat will allow a person to do research and exploration of deep space.


On his Twitter page, the head of Roskosmos Dmitry Rogozin said that there is currently a discussion of technical
characteristics of a super-heavy manned rocket that will launch from the Vostochny spaceport and will be able to deliver modules of the lunar station not only into orbit, but also to the surface of the moon.

The first launches of a superheavy rocket are planned to be carried out in 2028. The preliminary design, which is the first stage in the creation of a superheavy rocket, should be completed by the end of 2019.

Earlier, Roscosmos was considering an alternative option to achieve the lunar orbit using two Angara rockets, which would separately deliver the upper stage and the spacecraft to Earth orbit. After their docking in orbit, the ship had to move on.

However, preference was given to a universal heavy rocket, which is capable of either placing about 100 tons of cargo into low Earth orbit, or performing a long-range flight.

Recall that the start of the development of a superheavy rocket was laid by the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was signed in early 2018.

    A deep crisis is evident not only in a fundamental scientific basis, which can offer methods and ways of avoiding the proportionality of payload growth with increasing mass and volumes of fuel for a rocket launcher, but also in guiding the development of these programs. The latter rely on scientists and designers who are nothing new and effective do not offer. Therefore, we are all waiting for how this performance will end and at the same time, everyone already implies the outcome. Indeed, to raise one hundred tons and put into orbit, and without risk of loss, this is a fundamental achievement in itself, which should also be based on breakthrough ideas and solutions

      What breakthrough ideas are you talking about? There are only two ways to launch cargo into orbit, the currently used space elevator, the implementation of which .....
      At the beginning, any innovation has tremendous growth and efficiency gains, but after a while, these rates inevitably slow down, stopping at the end. Actually, they stop because the idea itself has been exhausted. This is an immutable law of Nature. Nothing can develop indefinitely, and nothing can develop at an ever greater pace. Such a change inevitably leads to death and explosion. Only development is sinusoidal.
      The current state of technology in rocket science has already come to a period when intensive development methods are exhausted, and extensive ones remain. The safe fuel energy of any formulation is calculated. No other start, not destroying all life, except methane and hydrogen, can not be used. Antigravity is not given in any way. Nothing else is given to us, like numerous launches into orbit and the assembly of colossi there, capable of reaching the outskirts of the Solar System. Starting from orbit to atomic is in the future, but not from the surface of the Earth. Physics of processes does not allow. You need to soberly assess the prospect, calm down and do the beautification of your own home. Excluding the very possibility of its destruction. Both through conflicts and through the unreasonable use of resources.

    When I get paid, then I pay taxes and for some reason, for some reason, the development of other planets is violet to me. Space is needed for safety and only for this. First, ensure a prosperous life for your people, and then dream about other planets!
