DDE Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Makes me really wonder what he’s got in there... and how it matches with my insider information. Talking about “hope” suggests he’s way off the mark. Edited January 13, 2019 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Oh, and remember the meteorite landslide? Well, the last of the meteorite evidence has been explained away by a localized 40 m river tsunami (it’s a fecking huge landslide). However, things are getting pretty explosive up in there. Putin himself apparently dispatched sappers to clear the river, and aerial bombardment is on the table. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3853567 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscosmos and RAS have a sit-down to complain about lack of space junk monotoring, potentially destructive space weather, and inferiority compared to US near-Earth asteroid monitoring programmes. Then promptly admit nobody’s going to give them money for anything of that, and conclude that at least it would be decent to bring back “duck and cover” lessons in schools and add asteroids to the list of disasters to prepare for. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3854470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) The Khrunichev center reports that the original "Zarya"/"Dawn" module of ISS is out of warranty since 2013, though keeps working till 2024 on the basis of common agreement. Telemetric control system warranty is expired 14 times, so they use it only periodically, using the American module equipment for daily needs. https://translate.google.com.tr/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&u=https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/5c411f9c9a7947135e5d4d7f&edit-text= The Academy of Science reports that theoretically the microbes can cause damages in the life support systems of ISS, and there have been found 100 types of our small cutie pets (including but not limited with staphylococcuses and corynebacteriums diphtheriae) onboard. https://translate.google.com.tr/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.interfax.ru%2Frussia%2F646637&sandbox=1 The Energomash also reports that RD-191 may cause a crash of the heavy Angara-A5 on start due to low-frequency oscillations under some conditions. As 5 stage blocks are connected in paralllel, the central block has to keep running at 30% thrust for a long time (to have some fuel after the radial four of same size get separated). So this makes to have it working at lowered pressure inside. They have found that at <38% thrust this sometimes causes low-frequency oscillations which are not so friendly to the engine.https://translate.google.com.tr/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rbc.ru%2Ftechnology_and_media%2F18%2F01%2F2019%2F5c41528b9a79471c32f1370e%3Ffrom%3Dmain Edited January 18, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were Khrunichev, I would have actually doubted their truthfullness because they hate Angara and love the smell of UDMH in the morning. There are about to be a whole bunch of lectures and roundtables on January 29, and this article skimmed the info from the 400-page part 1 of the minutes.

DDE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) (Editing accidental duplicate post) Reading into the source minutes: http://www.korolevspace.ru/sites/default/files/uploads/Abstr_2019_v1.pdf The Energomash guy has just directly contradicted Sutton, saying that Energomash, at 18 thousand engines produced, is the most prodigious in the business. They seem to not know of the 50k Bullpup missiles, and may have been outdone by Lavochkin’s in-house RD-0200 alone.

DDE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Oh dear... a few pages down there’s a lecture by the “Planetary Defense Centre” and their Space Patrol/Citadel-1 asteroid buster complex, trying to literally ride on the impending R-36 retirement resulting (with one “minor” hitch) in hundreds of Dnepr rockets. Followed by lifting bodies for Venus EDL and - oh, the irony - an analysis of Soyuz emergencies. Also making an appearance are electrodynamic tethers and a solar thermal rocket. Whoa, Baumann guys are still trying to get ramjets with boron fuel slurries to work... Edited January 18, 2019 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably coincidence. Remember my previous post about asteroid defence? It slightly predates Making SDI Great Again.

DDE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Oh, look, a Keldysh report evaluating the interaction of multiple turboelectric generators onboard spacecraft. And another one, evaluating oscillations in an electric rocket’s cooling loop. And a Baltic Technical University report on increasing emissiivity of said turbine’s blades. That tug is at least not a deck of slides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Yusufova, Odinokov, how did you manage to slip a lecture on blockchain into the Korolev Readings!? LOL, Levchenko from MAI tries to rouse everyone up by mentioning Korona as the ultimate answer to SpaceX. Oh dear, this has to be seen to be believed! Quote ШАНС ДЛЯ РОССИИ. ПАМЯТИ Л.В. ЛЕСКОВА Н.Л. Лескова (научный журналист, обозреватель журналов «Наука и жизнь», «В мире науки», «Экономические стратегии»). Дочь Л.В. Лескова Доклад посвящен памяти Л.В. Лескова, доктора физико-математических наук, про- фессора, действительного члена Академии космонавтики им. К.Э. Циолковского, со- временного российского философа-космиста. Реформы Петра Великого и их противоречивый характер. Царствование Анны Ио- анновны и неудачные попытки ограничения самодержавия. Екатерина Вторая и ее по- пытки ослабить ярмо крепостных порядков. Последующие попытки проведения про- грессивных реформ в России и сопротивление реакции. Ленин, Сталин и меры по ограничению власти бюрократии, не принесшие успеха. Отставка инициатора половинчатых реформ Хрущева, срыв планов реформирования хозяйственной жизни страны, задуманных Косыгиным. Длительный период застоя. Циклы реформаторской деятельности в России и закон маятника. Нарушение этой закономерности в 1990-х годах и реформы команды молодых «либерал-демо- кратов», и последующая деятельность правительства Касьянова и Фрадкова, разру- шившая отечественный производственно-технологический потенциал. Попытки пре- зидента Путина выправить положение. Может оказаться спасительным предложение положить в основу очередного этапа реформ теорию постиндустриальной трансформации. Осевая идея постинду- стриальной парадигмы — в признании приоритетной роли мировой квазиренты в ее различных формах — интеллектуальной, информационной, инновационно-техноло- гической, организационно-управленческой. Основной источник ВВП в постиндустри- альном обществе — не труд, а знания. Наряду с недрами, высокий интеллектуальный потенциал — это главное национальное достояние России. I feel lucky I never went into professional science. Edited January 18, 2019 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 On the other hand, Igritsky, also from Baumann, argues for a greater efficiency of VABs for larger rockets. The same Igritsky - apparently very concerned with logistics - also argues for using the planned hydroelectric powerplant basin to secure waterway access to Vostochnyi.
