La future fusée russe Rus-M [Abandon]

tatiana13 a écrit:L'avant-projet du successeur de Soyouz bientôt connu

http://www.bulletins-electroniques.com/actualites/64485.htm

L'avant-projet du système de transport piloté prometteur (PPTS, initiales russes) de nouvelle génération, qui viendra se substituer aux légendaires Soyouz, sera prêt vers la mi-2010, a annoncé le patron de la société RKK Energuiya, Vitali Lopota. Ce projet, connu également sous le nom de travail de "Rous-M", a déjà été examiné par le Conseil scientifique et technique de l'Agence spatiale russe (Roscosmos). Il nécessitera d'être encore travaillé, a estimé le patron de Roscosmos, Anatoli Perminov.

Les tests du PPTS débuteront sur des modules inhabités en 2015, et sur des modules habités en 2018, a indiqué Vitali Lopota. A partir de là, ce module constituera l'élément clé des vols habités russes. Selon le patron d'Energuiya, le nouveau projet a pour principales qualités la fiabilité et la sécurité. Le nouveau vaisseau ne ressemblera pas à une soucoupe volante, comme certains l'avaient imaginé un temps, mais il aura tout de même une forme conique. Son aspect extérieur rappellera à la fois le Soyouz russe et l'Apollo américain d'il y a quelques décennies.

Vitali Lopota a expliqué à quoi tenait cette ressemblance : le nouveau vaisseau sera dépourvu d'ailes. "Nous aurions énormément souhaité avoir un vaisseau avec des ailes. Mais lorsque l'on pénètre dans l'atmosphère de la Terre à la première vitesse cosmique, ce qui représente environ une dizaine de fois la vitesse d'une balle, le corps du vaisseau est chauffé à une température de 2.500 degrés. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous sommes contraints de penser à la manière de surmonter cet état tout en conservant la meilleure qualité aérodynamique possible, et nous avons renoncé aux ailes".

Pour le PPTS, une construction en modules - appareil de retour et compartiment moteur - a été adoptée pour la structure de base du vaisseau. Le vaisseau de retour accueillera l'équipage, qui pourra compter jusqu'à six membres, et pourra transporter simultanément en orbite (ou ramener sur Terre) une demi-tonne de fret.

Afin d'améliorer la précision de l'atterrissage, il a été décidé de renoncer au système traditionnel de parachute, qui crée une trop grande dépendance vis-à-vis du vent, et de passer à un système totalement à réaction. Ce sont des moteurs de fusée à combustible solide qui freineront la vitesse de descente, depuis une altitude d'environ 1 km. L'atterrissage s'effectuera sur des amortisseurs, ce qui exclura que le module se couche sur le côté, comme le fait le Soyouz actuel. Ce nouveau mode d'atterrissage en douceur à la verticale dans un lieu d'une superficie limitée permettra de réutiliser le vaisseau une dizaine de fois, estiment ses concepteurs.

Le patron de Roscosmos a pour sa part tenu à souligner que bien du travail restait à accomplir. "On ne peut pas y échapper : tout projet sérieux, et a fortiori un projet aussi novateur et aussi complexe que la création d'un nouveau vaisseau spatial habité, ne peut être adopté d'emblée, a-t-il dit". Le futur vaisseau, désigné par les initiales PPTS par Energuiya, ou sous le nom de travail de Rous-M, n'a toujours pas reçu d'appellation officielle. "Je ne me suis pas pour l'instant décidé, personnellement, en ce qui concerne le nom. Le nom de travail du système, dans lequel s'inscrit aussi la fusée porteuse, demeure Rous-M, a confirmé Anatoli Perminov".

Le nouveau vaisseau sera lancé à partir du nouveau cosmodrome, en construction, de Vostotchny. Le tir sera effectué par une nouvelle fusée porteuse de charge élevée désignée pour l'instant sous le même nom de Rous-M. Les tests en vol de ce lanceur débuteront en 2015, de manière à ce que le premier vol habité puisse être effectué en 2018. Une dizaine de tirs, au minimum, seront nécessaires pour réaliser ces tests.

A new phase in the development of the Rus-M launch vehicle started on Oct. 22, 2010, with the Russian government's announcement of a federal tender for the work on the so-called "Technical Project." The Technical Project is a Russian equivalent of what is known in the West as Phase B or a detailed design -- which is essentially a second phase in the research and development of the vehicle or a system, following the preliminary design.

The Russian space agency, Roskosmos, earmarked 1.63 billion rubles ($53.5 million) for a year-long work within the Technical Project. The formal review of bids by the industry and the awarding of the contract for the Technical Project was scheduled for Nov. 22-23, 2010.

The work on the Technical Project would include the development of technical assignments, TZ, for all elements of the Rus-M complex, consisting of the rocket itself; its optional upper stages; launch and processing facilities; automated control system for preparation and launch, ASU PP; measurement and data processing system, KSISO; training facilities and means of transportation for the rocket and its components. Also, the Technical Project would include calculations and experimental work aimed to validate chosen version of the rocket.

In its requirements for the development of the Technical Project, Roskosmos, specified a number of additional features of the future rocket. For example, beginning with the loading of propellant into the rocket, all manual operations on the pad would have to be excluded from the pre-launch processing. The only exception would be the boarding of the spacecraft crew and its evacuation in case of emergency, or the launch scrub. The Rus-M complex would have to be capable of 20 missions per year with the preparation cycle (launch campaign) not exceeding 30 days. To support this launch rate, the ground processing building would have two assembly facilities for a parallel preparation of two rockets. A special transporter powered by a pneumatic system would be used to carry the rocket from the processing area to the launch pad.

Given the use of liquid hydrogen onboard Rus-M, Roskosmos asked developers to evaluate whether the construction of the hydrogen production plant in Vostochny would be more economical then the delivery of this cryogenic propellant from another site.

Upper stages

Roskosmos' requirements for the Technical Project specified a number of details on two variations of the upper (third) stage, (sometimes referred to as space tug) for the Rus-M rocket. The primary job of these vehicles would be boosting unmanned satellites from initial parking orbits into higher orbits around the Earth or into deep space. The development project code-named Dvina, after a Russian river, envisioned a rocket stage designated 11S861-03 (a version of Block D upper stage) and a KVRB stage employing liquid hydrogen propellant. Separate projects, designated TK-Vostok and and Dvina KVSK funded the development of support facilities for 11S861 and KVRB stages respectively.

With the use of these upper stages, Rus-M was expected to deliver no less than 4.5 tons of payload to a sought-after geostationary orbit, in addition to its primary task as a carrier of a new-generation manned spacecraft and other 20-ton payloads to low Earth orbits with an inclination 51.7 degrees and 63 degrees toward the Equator.

Reste à construire tout cela et à équiper le pad de Vostotchny pour la voir décoller.

On aura peut-être aussi bientôt des noms un peu plus glamour pour les désigner :scratch:

Head of Federal Space Agency, also said that the Federal Space Agency and the space agencies of several countries formed a working group to determine short-term goals of space exploration.
"In the space should be a great goal to which we must strive, - the Popovkin. - It should be both ambitious and and sold, and in international cooperation. "
Head Space Agency said that recent meetings with the heads of space agencies of several countries were in particular focus on "the definition of this goal."
"We have created a working group with participation of experts from Federal Space Agency, the U.S. agency NASA, ESA, the European , the space agencies of France and Germany with the task of formulating the goal and define the main stages in its achievement, "- said Vladimir Popovkin.
He believes that certain elements related to the achievement of this objective should be to enter the promising Russian space program.
"This is the case and launch vehicles intended for the spaceport East, - said Vladimir Popovkin. - not to get so that the boosters will not be needed. "
