Russia doesn't seem to have any experience with SRB's, let alone Hybrid Rockets. Well... The thing is, the Sarmat must squeeze into the old Voevoda launch silos as a cost-saving measure. Solid missiles are bigger pound-for-pound, so instead they used Makeyev, who specialize in extremely space-efficient SLMBs: And NOBODY has managed to get hybrids to work in a military capacity.

Here's a non-reposted video: Spoiler You can count the nozzles. Also, because someone asked, keep in mind that R-36 was two-stage as well.

_Augustus_ Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/roscosmos/putin-lays-priorities-russias-space-program-cosmonautics-day/ Info from this article: Federatsiya test flight in 2021/2022 Russia wants in on LOP-G Lunar lander based at LOP-G by 2030 SHLV by 2028, launch from Vostochny, pad needs to be built before the rocket Federatsiya might fly to LOP-G before the SHLV is done. Perhaps a rendezvous with a Proton Stage 3 and Block-DM in LEO/MEO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a rendezvous with a Proton Stage 3 and Block-DM in LEO/MEO? Oh look, another stupid, pointless, ultra-expensive SHLV without any sensible payloads. Well, on the bright side, it's very likely to be cancelled after one or two flights, like N-1 and Energia.

tater Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/04/russia-appears-to-have-surrendered-to-spacex-in-the-global-launch-market/ Quote On Tuesday, however, Russia's chief spaceflight official, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, made a remarkable comment about that country's competition with SpaceX. "The share of launch vehicles is as small as 4 percent of the overall market of space services," Rogozin said in an interview with a Russian television station. "The 4 percent stake isn’t worth the effort to try to elbow Musk and China aside. Payloads manufacturing is where good money can be made."

"The 4 percent stake isn’t worth the effort to try to elbow Musk and China aside.

tater Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Actually, maybe they should think in terms of clunky---but reliable and cheap to build---space hardware that can go up on LVs that are basically not mass-limited for payloads.

Ultimate Steve Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Seeing as the NSF thread has next to no info, the fact that this is a more secretive payload than usual, and the fact that launch is in 30 seconds, if there is one I don't think I'll be able to see it.
