RCgothic Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I'm not sure Russia is physically capable of this. There are more satellites than there are interceptors. Unless the satellites are vulnerable to electronic disablement of some sort, which I'm pretty sure would be rapidly patched as next gen shells start getting deployed.

SunlitZelkova Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Q: What effect did missile development have on launch vehicle development? By this, I mean did the R-7 see noticeable improvements as a result of being developed as a missile before becoming Vostok? Same with UR-500 and Proton. I ask, as I have a suspicion that if the GR-1 FOBS had been built, the N1 would have had a slightly higher chance of success prior to the 1974 Glushko take over. Not enough to beat the US but maybe enough to keep the program going. That wouldn’t help the fact that IIRC Korolev himself was opposed to building a test stand for Blok A. But even if one was built, it likely would have been destroyed during the first test run, requiring rebuilding… would a test stand have helped if Blok A was going to blow up anyways? In retrospect, might it not have been better to have the failures in the air instead of on the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Arrival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X75Hpq1SeF4&t=11m40s Watch the rest of the segment if you want to see a satisfied Mr. Radioactive Ashes. Interesting how they explain a later reentry as the presense of a third stage, despite at least one analysis counting two stages. It's possible we're looking at the traditional Makeyev tractor-type stage rather than an ordinary fairing.
