Pure fallen – 10 seconds of a failed missile “Proton” with GLONASS satellites on board cost Russia billions of rubles – 4.5 cost only satellites themselves.
Pure fallen – 10 seconds failed missile “Proton” with GLONASS satellites on board cost Russia billions of rubles – 4.5 cost only satellites themselves.
“Proton” pondered a little, tried to fly to the horizon bent – and shame fell, crushing the dreams of lucrative contracts.
the same time from the Baikonur Sri Harikota similar vehicle orbited the first Indian satellite navigation. Managed without Russia.
And quite out of place on the next day they came to SOS signals from two GLONASS satellites already in orbit derived. Judging by the state of affairs, it is not the last state of emergency space.
rocket “Proton” with good reason in the museum space in pride of place – it is the most honored our space vehicles. It has been developed 50 years ago, but the competition is still not easy. Almost half a century, “Proton” as a truck delivers satellites into orbit in all countries, and the orbital space station modules, such as the “Salute”, “The World,” and even the ISS.
launch of such a missile today is not a breakthrough, and not the conquest of space, it is proven technology, something even routine. In this Tuesday at the launch site of journalists was not. Only full-time camera television studio Roscosmos and onlookers with mobile phones.
From the first seconds of the missile deviates from the course. She begins to chatter from side to side, she leans to the side and lights. It is seen as a fall out of the housing GLONASS satellites.
see an explosion at the start no one expected. Although in recent years the Russian Space Agency have had a whole series of failures. Since the beginning of 2010 – this is the fifth accident booster. Sometimes that “Proton” deviated from the course, the satellites to be displayed on the wrong orbit or even falling into the Pacific Ocean. But the fact that the whole world saw this week, called a “disgrace” space power.
“This is such a typical disaster 50 years ago, when just getting a new rocket technology, when every start was risky when technology only mastered only invented what is called,” – says columnist “Independent Military Review” Viktor Myasnikov.
Experts say a number of versions. Moreover, that evidence can be seen with the naked eye. In the light spectrum of a homogeneous jet flame appears red tongue and dark smoke. This is very similar to the oxidizing agent. If indeed there was a leak, the acid would be corroded fuel tanks and rocket would burn in the air for a second. On this week’s Federal Space Agency did not comment on the accident – is engaged in the investigation of a state commission. At a government meeting this Friday announced a preliminary version of the head of the Russian Federal Space Agency.
The most interesting place journalists were asked to leave. But just an hour later news agencies there was a message: “The head of Russian Federal Space Agency said the rocket left the launch pad at 0.4 seconds ahead of time, when the engines had not yet reached the regime, the pressure in the combustion chamber was 90 instead of 150 atmospheres, and initially started work sequence diagram for transfer of missile launch site “.
horizontal flight of a rocket – not an accident. Automation Gone “Proton” away from the launch pad. Otherwise, people could have been killed at the launch site, and the financial losses would have been ten times more than the sum of 300 million dollars, which assessed the damage.
“Fortunately, people did not die, so you can not call it a disaster. But the meaning of the word in the image is, of course, a disaster. This is a huge blow for Russia as a country that is engaged in commercial output starts, which is trying to cooperate with the European Space Agency , with the Americans with NASA, with developing countries “, – the director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Ruslan Pukhov.
This is a case where it is important to understand that there is not broke, why, why give regular failures serial device, invented in the time of Queen and Gagarin.
“With sufficient quality control missiles have to work very efficiently and effectively without a hitch. What is happening, it’s a marriage, it is the human factor. Accordingly, for all the chains of control over the quality, obviously, punctures were made,” – said the chief editor of the magazine ” National Defense “Igor Korotchenko.
“Independent Military Review”, citing its sources in the Russian Space Agency says that the provisions of the tests made rocket at that time did not exist.
“Has there on the eve of the state commission, there are now doubts. rumors are different. There is a version that was purely formal conversation, after which the command was given to start,” – says the columnist of the newspaper “Independent Military Review” Viktor Myasnikov.
It’s hard to believe, but all three satellites, which were in the launch vehicle was not insured. As explained in the corporation, they are denied insurance because GLONASS satellites serial, and you can insure only the unique spacecraft, such as the “Phobos-Grunt”.
Coincidentally, this week published the results of the Accounting Chamber of checking the space industry. These figures speak for themselves.
“The number of satellites placed in orbit from 2010 to 2012 was less than half of the plan (47%). At the same time, the satellites themselves cost the budget is four times more expensive than their foreign counterparts, but are inferior in quality,” – said in the report of the Accounting Chamber.
Federal Space Agency in a report called the system of collective irresponsibility. Over the years, this structure stole a cosmic scale. But particularly difficult to understand. Budget funds space plants artfully used for foreign commercial projects.
“Deliveries of Russian engines for rockets carried out through the Russian-American joint venture RD Amross, where he deposited a substantial portion of the profits, so necessary for the development of the space industry,” – said in a report of the Accounting Chamber.
Two years ago, just after the next crash “Proton” was dismissed Roscosmos leadership and funding of the sector increased by 2.5 times. Now the government is considering a major reform of the entire corporation. Before the end of the month to complete the verification of Roscosmos and adopt solutions to the crisis. After all, on the order of new launches and space exploration, and budget money – the opposite problem.
