FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY The main lines of development of propulsion systems for Russia advanced launch vehicles International conference “Europe space policy: ambitions 2015” Session 1. “General view on propulsion systems: LV of the future”
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW RUSSIAN LAUNCH VEHICLES *- Reusable space rocket system for the first stage
Engines РД-0124 РД-191 1 х РД-0124 Thrust: 30 tf Isp ~ 359 s Propellants: О2 + kerosene 5 х РД-191 Thrust: 5 х 196 tf Isp ~ 311 с Propellants: О2 + kerosene ENGINES OF “ANGARA-А5” LV «Angara-А5» LV
OTV “Briz-M” is developedfor LV “Proton-M”. It isforeseen to use it jointlywith LV “Angara-A5” and“Angara-A3” Oxygen-hydrogen OTVis under development forLV “Proton-M”. On its basisKVRB for LV “Angara-A5”is under development Cryogenic upper stage 12KRBis developed for IndianLV GSLV OTV for LV “Angara-1.2”on the basis of central block of OTV“Briz-M” Multipurpose rocketmodule (URM-2) of the second and third stages of LV (new development) Second stage of LV “Angara-1.1” is under development on the basis of central block design for OTV “Briz-M” Engine RD-0124A is under development on the basis of engine RD-0124 for LV “Soyuz-2” Multipurpose rocketmodule (URM-2) of the first and second stages of LV (new development) Angara-1.2 Control system is unifiedfor all LV of the family.It is developed on the basisof CS for LV “Zenit” and “Proton-M” Angara-1.1 Angara-A3 Angara-A5 Engine RD-191 is under development on the basis of engines RD-170 for LV “Zenit” and RD-180 for LV Atlas • UNIFICATION OF LAUNCH VEHICLES OF “ANGARA” FAMILY.USE OF AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL WORKS AND TECHNOLOGIES
MAIN TRENDS IN THE FIELD OF ROCKETAND SPACE ENGINE MANUFACTURING • Increase of engine reliability (no less than 0.997 for sustainer LRE in LV). • Decrease of engine life cycle cost (development, manufacturing, operation). • Use of ecological propellant. • Increase of energy characteristics of engines. • Decrease of specific mass characteristics of engines.
Launch vehicles evolution From multi-stage launch vehicles with vertical take-off, expendable LRE and SRM… 2030-2040 2025-2035 ...to single-stage launch vehicles with vertical or horizontal take-off, reusable ABE and LRE 2015-2020 1957-2000 Orbit insertion cost reduction 1 0,5 - 0,2 0,1 0,05 - 0,02
THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT OF REUSABLE SPACE ROCKET SYSTEM RSRS-1 «RSRS-1» Takeoff mass – 935 t Payload mass in base line orbit Нcir = 200 km – 35 t(50 twhen using a solid booster) I stage propellants – oxygen and hydrocarbon fuel II stage propellants – oxygen and hydrogen Predicted reliability – 0.9995 Reusability of the first stage – 100return as an aircraft using supplementary turbojet engines Stage separation speed – 2500 m/s Payload Reusable stage Expandable II stage Booster The cost of SC injection is reduced by nearly half The mass of payload (delivered and returned) – 12 t
Problems 1. Choice of propellants(oxygen + kerosene, oxygen + metane, oxygen + hydrogen) 2. Choice of engine cycle(generator gas exhaust cycle, staged combustion cycle, withadditional coolant-propellant) 3. Provision of strength and life characteristics(reusability of engine prior to overhaul 25) 4. Minimization of the cost of between – flight servicing 5. Metodology of test development 6. Ensuring reliability of multi-propulsion systems not less 0.999 7. Development of an effective system of diagnostics and emergency protection of engine and propulsion system as a whole REUSABLE LIQUID-PROPELLANT ENGINES
