Well done, musk, well done

>the vehicle we use to send people to the ISS is essentially the same design as the rocket that launched Sputnik
Pretty crazy really, but it's a good system I guess

What is the furthest orbit it can launch a payload?

Aren't Ruskies supposed to test a nuclear engine in space this year? Or was it just the usual propaganda?

>> No.9497308

The fact that they've built nearly a thousand of the fucking things over half a century and they STILL cost over $60 million each is ridiculous though.

The concept is in trouble right now, but in 5 to 10 years it'll be totally buried by reusable rockets.

Soyuz is reliable, but it's a dinosaur and can't really do much besides short trips to LEO.

Also they don't even have an ocean to drop the discarded stages in, they just drop them on Kazakhstan or Siberia and hope it doesn't land on anyone. Who cares about toxic propellants anyways?

>> No.9497348

>>9497305
I think it's just a ground test, which is nothing new of course. Hard to find info on it though, at least in English.

>> No.9497368

that's probably safer than dropping them in the ocean desu

Wasn't Russia developing a reusable booster sometime back in 2012 (probably got cancelled during the RFSA reformation and oil crash budget cuts though)?

It's project name started with a C, and it had a aerospike engine circled by smaller normal engines.

even Russia realizes the R-7 design is a dead end. The upcoming Soyuz-5 will be based on Zenit, but redesigned for all-Russian manufacturing instead of partly Ukraine.

as for today, the only kinda alive projects of interest are reusable boosters for Angara (which will be abandoned anyway due to extreme costs) and 1MW nuclear thruster.

I don't know the name of it but the way that the cradle thing that holds the rocket before it launches folds down looks really cool.
