Niska Orbita

[bigvlada]

Onda se ova dva isturena modula obrcu nezavisno od stanice a svako trenje u spoju moras da kompezujes stalnim radom raketnih motora da bi glavni kompleks ostao u mestu.

Da, obrću se nezavisno od stanice. Slične postavke su korištene u par projekata brodova za mars. Korekcije kursa stanice se vrše stalno (ali motori ne rade non stop, kao što ne bi ni ovi koji bi inicirali ovo obrtanje), ali to je usled delovanja atmosfere koja na par stotina kilometara visine itekako ima uticaja. Van orbite, situacija je drugačija, gorivo se troši na početku i na kraju leta, radi ulaska u orbitu druge planete.

SpaceX je testirao sistem za sletanje odbačenog prvog stepena rakete. Za razliku od ruskog pristupa, koji se sastoji od dodavanja krila i točkova busterima i prvom stepenu te njihovom jedrenju do piste, ovo je sličnije mekom sletanju na neko strano nebesko telo.Koristili su samo jedan Merlin motor a test je trajao par sekundi.

Evropa je posle rasprave o kosmičkom budžetu donela nekoliko interesantnih odluka.ESA member states fund Orion service moduleBY STEPHEN CLARKSPACEFLIGHT NOWPosted: November 21, 2012Buoyed by a surprise investment from Britain, the European Space Agency secured approval from its member states on Wednesday to develop a service module for NASA's Orion deep space exploration vehicle, giving the continent a stake in human missions beyond low Earth orbit. Artist's concept of an Orion spacecraft and the European-built service module. Credit: ESAThe initial investment, worth $320 million over the next two years, will start development of a propulsion and power module for the Orion multipurpose crew vehicle, or MPCV.Britain, which has eschewed contributing the space station in the past, put the proposal over the top with a pledge to pay 20 million euros, or about $25 million, for the service module.Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA's director general, said the development could help a European astronaut secure a spot on Orion crews bound for deep space, the moon, or asteroids. The European-built service module will contain fuel tanks, provide propulsion, and hold Orion's solar panels to generate electricity. NASA plans to provide a maneuvering engine to mount on the service module.In a meeting of government ministers in Italy on Tuesday and Wednesday, ESA's member states haggled over the agency's budget, eventually settling on 10 billion euros, or $13 billion, in spending from ESA's 20 member states over the next few years.Top agenda items included decisions on a future European launcher and the extension of Europe's involvement in the International Space Station.Governments agreed to upgrade Europe's existing Ariane 5 launcher and put off a decision on a replacement rocket until mid-2014. And officials came to a consensus to continue ESA's support of the space station until 2020, a pivotal decision which hinged on the Orion service module.The first flight of a full-up Orion capsule is scheduled for launch in late 2017. The unmanned mission will launch on NASA's Space Launch System, a heavy-lifting rocket being developed to facilitate missions beyond Earth orbit.The flight plan calls for the 16.5-foot-diameter capsule to fly around the moon and return to Earth on a voyage lasting more than one week."The first flight is to go to the moon," Dordain said. "And we can say we will be part of the first flight of the MPCV by delivering the service module.Construction of the service module for the 2017 mission will pay back NASA for Europe's share of the space station's operating costs. The space station partners prefer supplying a "barter element" to reimburse NASA for the costs rather than paying in cash.Europe's barter element for the station's operating costs through 2017 is the Automated Transfer Vehicle, a resupply freighter designed to haul propellant, air, food, water, spare parts and experiments to the outpost once per year. Representatives from Europe's 20 member states, the European Commission, and Canada met in Naples, Italy, this week for a conference to decide the continent's priorities in space development. Credit: DLR/Thilo KranzESA is discontinuing the ATV program after the fifth vehicle, which is expected to launch in 2014. The end of the ATV program leaves Europe owing NASA for operating expenses from 2017 until 2020, which is as far as the space station partners have agreed to operate the orbiting lab.The funding shortfall from 2017 until 2020 is about 450 million euros, or $580 million. Europe and NASA have a preliminary agreement for ESA to build the Orion service module for the 2017 test flight, but European governments were required to approve the measure this week. A formal agreement between ESA and NASA could be signed in the next few months."This is the first time ESA is contributing to a crew transfer vehicle," Dordain said Wednesday. "This is certainly a breakthrough."The U.S.-based Orion prime contractor, Lockheed Martin Corp., has sidelined development of a U.S. service module to focus on construction and testing of the crew capsule, which is designed to carry four people.The next time European government ministers meet in 2014, they will be asked to spend at least another $260 million on the service module program to see it through to flight in 2017.France fought the German-backed proposal for the Orion service module, arguing it did not advance European technological development because it is similar to the service module used by the ATV.The Orion service module, like the ATV propulsion section, will likely be manufactured by EADS Astrium in Bremen, Germany.Germany is Europe's largest space station backer, committing $690 million to the program over the next several years.An unmanned test flight of a prototype Orion vehicle is due for launch in September 2014 on a United Launch Alliance Delta 4-Heavy rocket, but it will not include a functional service module. The capsule will be sent into a high-altitude 3,600-mile-high orbit around Earth and then return back into the atmosphere, reaching speeds simulating a re-entry from a deep space mission to stress the capsule's heat shield.

Credit: Walter Scriptunas II/Spaceflight NowJohann-Dietrich Woerner, chairman of the German Aerospace Center, said there is only an agreement with NASA for one Orion service module so far."From our point of view, we would like to have this as the basis for future cooperation with the USA," Woerner said in an interview. "So far, we will build everything for the service module for the maiden flight in Europe, and then we will discuss future joint activities in that field. Right now, the target is the maiden flight of Orion to the moon."Germany's overall ESA subscription - totaling $3.3 billion - makes it the largest contributor to the space agency. France agreed to spend $3 billion on ESA programs.The UK eclipsed Italy to become the third-largest ESA member state, promising $1.9 billion. Italy pledged almost $1.5 billion.The commitments are mostly spread over the next two-to-four years, depending on which programs each country is backing.Britain's investment in the space station is part of a $100 million increase in space spending over the next five years. The British contribution to the Orion service module will include work on telecommunications and propulsion systems, according to the UK government."I will speak English because this is the price I have to pay for the UK to be on-board the ISS," Dordain joked in a press briefing. He later called the British decision an "historic event" for Europe.http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1211/22mpcv/Iznenađenje je povećanje učešća Engleske u budžetu kao i odluka Amerike da pusti EU u projekat Orion. Kada je koncept prvi put predstavljen, Evropljani su izuzeti iz njega pa su sa Rusima pokušali da prave Kliper i još par projekata. Međutim, u svim tim slučajevima Evropa je htela veći deo kolača u proizvodnji komponenata nego što su i Amerikanci i Rusi bili spremni da joj daju, delom i zbog neiskustva. Sa uspešnim ATV projektom, skočila je cena EU tako da sa jedne strane sarađuju sa SAD na Orionu a sa druge strane zajedno sa Rusima grade sledeći marsovski rover.

European ministers decide to stick with Ariane 5, for nowBY STEPHEN CLARKSPACEFLIGHT NOWPosted: November 21, 2012Reaching a consensus that at times seemed improbable, Germany, France and other European countries on Wednesday agreed to upgrade the Ariane 5 rocket and advance the design of its replacement - a smaller, simpler, and less expensive launcher predicted to be flight-ready by 2021. File photo of an Ariane 5 rocket launch. Credit: CNES/ESA/ArianespaceEuropean space officials said the decision reached Wednesday at a two-day meeting of the European Space Agency's council of ministers helps ensure the continent's access to space through the 2030s.The Ariane 5 upgrade, called mid-life evolution, will boost the rocket's lift capacity by 20 percent with a new restartable hydrogen-fueled upper stage engine. It also features a lengthened payload fairing to enshroud larger satellites.The upgraded launcher's new Vinci upper stage engine would also be used to power the second stage of a new Ariane 6 rocket - an important negotiating point for France, which demanded development of a fresh launcher begin immediately."We are entering into a new phase of Ariane," said Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA's director general.Germany favored continuing work on the Ariane 5 mid-life evolution project, which has already consumed about 400 million euros, or more than $500 million. There was not enough money to simultaneously pursue the development of both launchers.Representatives of ESA's 20 member states met in Naples, Italy, until well after midnight Wednesday, deciding which path to take and what nations would pay for it.The two nations bridged the divide - considered by many to be the most contentious issue of the Naples summit - by opting to proceed with the upgraded Ariane 5 launcher and incorporate that work into Ariane 6.The two-year spending package commits about 600 million euros, or $770 million, to launcher development. France is the leading European contributor for launchers, followed by Germany. ESA director general Jean-Jacques Dordain. Credit: ESA/S. CorvajaIn total, ESA member states agreed on 10 billion euros - about $13 billion - for space spending over the next few years.ESA member states will convene again in mid-2014 to commit funding for full development of the Ariane 6 rocket, which is forecast to begin flying around 2021."Ariane 5 will be here another 12 years, so this is why we must work on [upgrading] Ariane 5," Dordain said.The Ariane 5 rocket is one of the most reliable launch vehicles in the world, launching about a half-dozen times per year with commercial communications satellites or European government payloads.The current version of the launcher, called the Ariane 5 ECA, can lift up to 10 metric tons, or about 22,000 pounds, into geostationary transfer orbit, the drop-off point for most communications satellites. The heavy-lift Ariane 5 ECA can launch two large commercial satellites on a single launch.The first launch of the evolved Ariane 5 rocket - known as the 'adapted Ariane 5 ME' - is scheduled for 2017 or 2018. The 'adapted' nomenclature reflects possible changes from the baseline design of the upgraded Ariane 5 to better align the mid-life evolution work with the Ariane 6 program."We are particularly pleased that the ministers of the ESA member states have secured investment for the definition study of the new Ariane 6 launcher and for continued development of the Ariane 5 ME," said Francois Auque, CEO of EADS Astrium, prime contractor for the Ariane 5. "These future versions will benefit from the know-how and commitment of the women and men of Astrium, who have made Ariane 5 the most reliable launcher currently on the market."Dordain said industry studies over the next 18 months would find more commonalities between Ariane 5 and Ariane 6, with the goal to reduce the development and operating costs of the new launcher, which is expected to be in service through the 2030s. Photo of a Vinci engine ground test article. The restartable Vinci engine features an extendable nozzle to improve performance. Credit: Snecma"There is a significant common part, which is the [Vinci] engine," Dordain said. "The engine and propulsion system will be the same. That is done, but I have to work and see if and how I can develop more commonalities between the two launchers."The Ariane 5 rocket will remain operating until the mid-2020s, retiring from service once the Ariane 6 launcher has proven itself reliable.Germany stands to receive the lion's share of industrial work on the Ariane 5 mid-life evolution project. An EADS Astrium planet in Bremen, Germany, assembles the Ariane 5 upper stages, while French propulsion contractor Snecma is in charge of the new Vinci engine, which will generate 40,000 pounds of thrust.More importantly, ESA officials said, is the Vinci engine's ability to restart in flight, enabling the Ariane 5 to efficiently reach different types of orbits with heavier satellites. The Ariane 5's current cryogenic upper stage can only ignite once.Astrium also claims the evolved Ariane 5 will reduce the cost-per-kilogram of each launch by up to 20 percent. ESA hopes to reduce, or even eliminate, government subsidies to Arianespace, Ariane 5's commercial operator, which received about $190 million from ESA to break even on its balance sheet in 2011."It's always been the intention that the Ariane 5 ME implementation will make subsidies obsolete," said Marco Fuchs, chief executive of OHB AG, which supplies Ariane 5 propellant tanks. "That is the intention of the companies involved in Ariane 5."European officials, including Arianespace, ESA and Ariane contractors, tout the Ariane 5's record of success, which has now achieved 52 straight successful launches since 2002.But the competitive threat from Russian and Chinese launchers and SpaceX, the innovative U.S. commercial space firm started by Elon Musk, compelled Europe to consider an alternate future for the Ariane program. Comparison of the Ariane 5 mid-life evolution and a concept for the Ariane 6 rocket. Credit: ESA"The development of adapted Ariane 5 ME is to improve the competitiveness," Dordain said. "One of the problems we have today with Ariane 5 ECA is the upper stage is not restartable. That is a limitation vis-a-vis the market."SpaceX has signed a handful of communications satellite launch contracts for its Falcon 9 rocket before the vehicle has ever flown into an orbit used by commercial satellites.SpaceX advertises commercial launch opportunities for its Falcon 9 rocket for $54 million. Even launching two satellites at once, a payload slot on a standard Ariane 5 mission costs more than $100 million, according to industry sources. In an interview last week with the BBC, Musk said Europe's Ariane 5 rocket has "no chance" competing with the Falcon 9 and said Europe should build a new launcher.In a press conference Wednesday, Dordain countered with dry humor."Does this mean Elon Musk wants to contribute to Ariane 6? I don't know," Dordain said. "I must say we are more than ready to have additional contributors."The challenge for rocket designers in the next 18 months is to come up with a formula for a reliable Ariane 6 rocket tailored to replace both the Ariane 5 and Europe's use of the Russian Soyuz booster at the European-run Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana.The intermediate-class Ariane 6 launcher will be smaller than the Ariane 5, launching single commercial communications payloads of up to 14,000 pounds.And the Ariane 6 should be competitive on price with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Russia's Proton launcher marketed by International Launch Services, Arianespace's two main rivals.An initial design assessment by CNES - the French space agency - this year concluded the Ariane 6 rocket should consist of a solid-fueled first stage motor and a cryogenic liquid-fueled upper stage based around the next-generation Ariane 5's Vinci engine.File photo of a Vega rocket, showing its solid-fueled first stage. Credit: ESAThe concept would build upon both the Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega satellite launcher, which debuted in February and is powered by solid rocket motors. Such a design would ensure high industrial involvement from France, Germany and Italy, the three largest contributors to Europe's rocket programs."At the moment, we see synergies between both Ariane 5 and Ariane 6, as well as Vega and Ariane 6," said Enrico Saggese, president of the Italian Space Agency, in an interview Wednesday.Return-on-investment in the form of industrial contracts and jobs is one of the most important factors guiding decisions on European space programs."The example of SpaceX shows that if you're producing everything at one location, its much more efficient," said Johann-Dietrich Woerner, chairman of the executive board of the German Aerospace Center. "But then it's no longer a European launcher. It's a French or German launcher. Therefore, the discussion about industrial distribution is one of the core questions for the next launcher in Europe. It's hard stuff."ESA officials have not made a final decision on the design of Ariane 6."If this is the final design, then the heritage will come from Vega and Ariane 5 to Ariane 6, so there will be much commonality," Woerner told Spaceflight Now on Wednesday. "That makes the development of the new launcher as efficient as possible."http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1211/21ariane/Ovde se vidi koliko je dobra pojava Falcon-a 9, tj. kako izgleda kosmobiznis kada se na njega primene sve dobre prakse iz IT sveta.

Pol Alen menja izvođača radova.Orbital Sciences Replaces SpaceX on Stratolaunch ProjectNov. 30, 2012The Stratolaunch twin-boomed aircraft is designed to air-launch private space travelers, cargo or satellites. Credit: Stratolaunch Systems artist's conceptWASHINGTON — After the exit of launch services provider Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) Corp. as its rocket subcontractor, Stratolaunch Systems has turned to Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., to keep the world’s largest air-launch-to-orbit system on track for a 2017 test flight.“We have been engaging Orbital over the past few months and have them under a study contract through early next year with specific design deliverables,” Stratolaunch chief executive Gary Wentz wrote in a Nov. 28 email. “They are currently evaluating several alternative configurations that appear promising. We expect more information to be available in the February 2013 timeframe.”What those configurations were, neither Stratolaunch nor Orbital would say. Huntsville, Ala.-based Stratolaunch had been banking on using a liquid-fueled booster from SpaceX. Orbital specializes in solid-fueled rockets. The first stage of the liquid-fueled Taurus 2 rocket Orbital expects to debut in 2013 relies on a Ukranian-supplied first stage powered by a rebadged Russian engine. While the company has extensive experience with air-launched systems, it has not built one with the payload-carrying capacity that Stratolaunch seeks.Orbital’s solid-fueled Pegasus rocket, which can loft 450 kilograms to low Earth orbit, has logged 41 launches since 1990. Only three of these were failures, according to an online mission history maintained by Orbital. However, Pegasus-class business has all but dried up. The single Pegasus XL launch of 2012 was the rocket’s first flight in four years, and there is only one Pegasus XL mission on Orbital’s manifest today: the April 2013 launch of NASA’s Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph space telescope.Still, Orbital spokesman Barron Beneski denies that the company had agreed to work with Stratolaunch in the hope of finding a project for the roughly 100 Orbital employees whose jobs would be at risk if the company cannot find more Pegasus customers soon.“I don’t think that’s our primary motivation, to make work for people,” Beneski said in a Nov. 28 phone interview. “Stratolaunch asked us to come up with some concepts, and air launch is something that Orbital has always been known for.”Stratolaunch is backed by billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and boasts a roster heavy with former NASA personnel. The company was introduced to the public in December 2011 at a press event in Seattle, where Allen’s philanthropic organization Vulcan Inc. is headquartered.Stratolaunch plans to build an enormous air-launch system that, in its original configuration with a SpaceX rocket, was to be capable of lofting 6,100 kilograms to low Earth orbit or 2,300 kilograms to geosynchronous orbit. Scaled Composites, Mojave, Calif., was tapped to build the system’s twin-boom mothership: a massive, 222,000-kilogram airplane with a 117-meter wingspan capable of flying 2,400 kilometers from a launch site before deploying a rocket. Dynetics Corp. of Huntsville, Ala., is building the mating and integration system that will secure the rocket to its carrier aircraft.Technical difficultiesAs first reported by Flightglobal.com Nov. 27, the main reason Stratolaunch and SpaceX parted ways was because SpaceX, decided it did not want to disrupt its Hawthorne, Calif., assembly line to accommodate the design changes required to turn its nine-engine, liquid-fueled Falcon 9 into a four- or five-engine air-launched booster.“We agreed with SpaceX that to meet our design requirements, the existing Falcon 9 architecture would require significant structural modifications to incorporate a fin/chine and to be carried horizontally,” Wentz said. “As we studied the design, it became apparent that SpaceX would have to make significant modifications to their manufacturing process to accommodate our configuration, which would have a pronounced effect on their business model.”A chine is an extension that joins a wing’s leading edge to a craft’s fuselage. Chines help generate lift at supersonic speeds.SpaceX spokeswoman Katherine Nelson, reached by email Nov. 27, declined to comment for this story. SpaceX Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk told the Royal Aeronautical Society in mid-November that “there’s likely to be some changes in [the Stratolaunch] program” but declined further comment.Wentz said that SpaceX and Stratolaunch are still closing out SpaceX’s contract, which the company signed last year. He would not disclose the financial terms of the deal.When Stratolaunch debuted, Allen, who also bankrolled the historic 2004 flight of SpaceShipOne, said he expected to spend “at least an order of magnitude more” on Stratolaunch than he spent on SpaceShipOne. SpaceShipOne, a suborbital spaceplane designed by famed aeronautical engineer Burt Rutan, won the $10 million X Prize in 2004 by staging two privately operated flights to an altitude of 100 kilometers within a two-week period. Developing SpaceShipOne cost about $28 million, Allen has said.http://www.spacenews.com/article/orbital-sciences-replaces-spacex-on-stratolaunch-project#.ULkvf4UXFFR

ESA test opens way to UK spaceplane engine investment16 July 2013The UK government has announced plans to invest in the development of an air-breathing rocket engine – intended for a single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane – following the ESA-managed feasibility testing of essential technology.The £60 million investment, provided through the UK Space Agency, will back technical improvements leading to construction of a prototype Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine, or SABRE.Designed by UK company Reaction Engines Ltd, this unique engine will use atmospheric air in the early part of the flight before switching to rocket mode for the final ascent to orbit.The concept paves the way for true spaceplanes – lighter, reusable and able to fly from conventional runways.Reaction Engines plans for SABRE to power a 84 m-long pilotless vehicle called Skylon, which would do the same job as today’s rockets while operating like an aeroplane, potentially revolutionising access to space.The investment decision followed the success of ESA-managed tests of a key element of the SABRE design, a precooler to chill the hot air entering the engine at hypersonic speed, in Reaction Engines’ Oxfordshire headquarters back in November 2012.http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Technology/ESA_test_opens_way_to_UK_spaceplane_engine_investmentTri decenije razvoja motora ali kada bude napravljen većina raketa će u penziju.

Пуск "Ангары" прошел успешно: макет спутника доставлен за 5700 км

Полет ракеты проходил согласно утвержденной циклограмме по баллистической траектории над территорией России.

МОСКВА, 9 июл — РИА Новости. Новейшая российская экологически чистая ракета-носитель легкого класса "Ангара" доставила на полигон на Камчатке грузомакет спутника, сообщает Минобороны.

Полет ракеты проходил согласно утвержденной циклограмме по баллистической траектории над территорией России.

"Спустя 21 минуту после старта неотделяемый габаритно-массовый макет полезной нагрузки со второй ступенью попал в заданный район полигона "Кура" на полуострове Камчатка на расстоянии 5700 километров от места старта", — сказано в релизе.

Первый запуск "Ангары" подтвердил выполнение задачи особой государственной важности. Ввод "Ангары" в эксплуатацию позволит России, не загрязняя атмосферу Земли, выводить на орбиту спутники всех типов со своей территории, обеспечивая России независимый гарантированный доступ в космическое пространство.

Первый пуск лёгкой "Ангары", первого экологически чистого носителя, спроектированного в стране со времён распада СССР, изначально планировался 25 июня. Из-за дополнительных проверок он был перенесен на 27 июня, однако в этот день автоматическая система за 19 секунд до старта отменила запуск, после чего он был перенесен на неопределенное время.

Как сообщалось на официальном сайте НПО "Энергомаш", отмена произошла из-за падения давления в шаробаллоне наддува демпфера окислителя, который не относится к двигателю первой ступени.

Что представляет собой семейство ракет "Ангара"

"Ангара" — новое поколение российских ракет-носителей модульного типа, разработанное на основе двух универсальных ракетных модулей (УРМ) с кислородно-керосиновыми двигателями: УРМ-1 и УРМ-2. Семейство ракет-носителей "Ангара" в перспективе будет включать в себя носители от легкого до тяжелого классов в диапазоне грузоподъемностей от 3,8 до 35 тонн.

В целом комплекс "Ангара" легкого, среднего и тяжелого классов будет способен выводить практически весь спектр перспективных полезных нагрузок в интересах Минобороны РФ и Роскосмоса во всем требуемом диапазоне высот и наклонений орбит. Читайте подробнее в

 

Treba reci da je prvi pokusaj lansiranja otkazan pre dve nedelje i da su se bili pokenjali po Putinu najstrasnije tada, posto je on bio u nekoj fensi sobici sa ekranima, i pratio lansiranje

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEkkmAHxOSY

 

 

Elem, sistem automatske kontrole je tada blokirao poletanje samo nekoliko sekundi pre starta jer je primetio pad pritiska zbog ventila koji je popustio na rezervoaru tecnog kiseonika. Ali danas je uspesno lansirano. Ovo je izuzetno vazno jer je "Angara" familija raketa na kojoj Rusi planiraju kolonizaciju Meseca posle 2020.
