The engineers of the Russian Rocket and Space Corporation “Energia” project developed a reusable manned spacecraft “jerk” for the delivery of cargo to the Moon and astronauts to the International Space Station. According to them, the project will be cheaper than running new ship “Federation”.
The system “Charge” will be based on the ISS and run from it to the lunar international platform, delivering cargo to the moon and the astronauts previously flown on the ISS ships series “The Union”.
The means of dispersal “breakthrough” to the Earth the satellite has to be modernized upper stage “DM”, which is scheduled to run with the help of heavy rocket “Angara” and docked with the device in low Earth orbit. The specialists did not explain how the orbit is expected to deliver the ship itself, Tass said.
Limit unit weight is 11.4 tons, the flight from Earth orbit to the Moon – to five days. When you return to lunar orbit spacecraft will reveal the “umbrella” of 55 square meters for braking in the atmosphere.
According to the employee Yuri Makushenko Corporation, a new project, unlike ship “Federation” does not require the creation of super-heavy launch vehicle. Thus you can reduce the cost and timing of development of the transport system for the flight to the moon. “The cost of the mission reusable manned spacecraft” Jerk “a third lower than in the mission costs of the manned transport spacecraft” Federation “, – quotes his RIA” Novosti “
Earlier, the director of the Institute of Space Research. (IKI) RAS Leo Green said , that the first stage of the Russian lunar program will be the launch vehicle “Luna-25″ at the end of 2017 -. the beginning of 2018. The next step will be the automatic station “Luna-26″. the unit will carry 12 instruments with a total weight of 120 kilograms. the construction of “Luna-26″ is based on the results that have already received US aids, as well as European, Indian, Chinese, Japanese probes.
the central part of the lunar program will be the vehicle “Luna-27″, which sits in one of the polar regions of the Moon “His task – to take soil samples from a depth of two meters, while maintaining the inclusion volatiles.” – Green said another important experiment will station “Luna. -28 “, which not only will take soil samples from the moon, but also deliver it to Earth with a more subtle geochemical analysis, the study of the isotopic composition.
Note that the manned spacecraft “Federation”, designed to transport people and cargo to the moon is planned to produce in 2020 and run unmanned in 2021-m. The first manned launch is scheduled for the end of 2023. Its maximum crew of six people, and when flying to the moon – to four.
