New generation Amur-LNG rocket to be reused 50-100 times — Roscosmos CEO Yury Borisov noted that SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket was used no more than ten times KALUGA, April 15/ Russia's future reusable Amur-SPG rocket will be reused several times more than SpaceX’s Falcon 9, Roscosmos CEO Yury Borisov has said. "Whereas the Falcon 9 rocket, as a rule, is used no more than ten times, the first LNG-oxygen powered stage can be used at least 50 times, and maybe even more - 100 times," Borisov said at a lecture for cadets and students at the Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics in Kaluga. Roscosmos and RSC Progress signed a contract in October 2020 to develop a preliminary design of a space rocket complex for Russia’s first reusable methane-powered rocket Amur. The rocket having a reusable first stage will be launched from the Vostochny spaceport in the Amur Region. On March 10, 2023, Roscosmos announced that it would keep working on the reusable methane-powered Amur-LNG launch vehicle. It hopes to be through with finalizing the technical design by the end of this year. Nikolay Nestechuk, the CEO of the Center for the Operation of Ground Space Infrastructure Facilities (TsENKI, part of Roscosmos), told TASS that the technical design of the Amur-LNG launch complex was expected to be completed in November. It may be located next to the Angara launch pad. #business #finance #financialservices

Modeling and Experimental Results of Low-Power Iodine-Fed Hall Thruster Propulsion System 🛰 Hall thrusters have become the leading technology of plasma based propulsion systems for in-orbit maneuvering due to their remarked efficiency, thrust density, and scalability at small power ranges. However, the volume as well as the direct and indirect cost of a Hall thruster propulsion system are the primary constraining factors for use on small-sized industrial spacecraft, both of which are partially related to the chosen propellant. Combining iodine propellant and Hall thruster technology is a logical and necessary step to ensure high performance in space maneuvering with extremely reduced costs. At ThrustMe, we are making this revolutionary technology and product come true. Come check out Dr Alfio E.

🚀 MODELLING OF SPACECRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM PRIMING IN FLOWNEX 🚀    Priming is a crucial step in rocket engine operations at high altitudes or in space. It involves filling the fuel feed lines with propellant to ensure a reliable engine start. Without proper priming, pressure oscillations can occur, potentially impacting system performance and safety.    Our latest case study is based on an article by V Britz, B du Toit, and H T Jeon (2013) titled "Flow Network Modelling of the Priming of Spacecraft Propulsion System." It utilized Flownex to model these pressure oscillations and validated the results against experimental data from DLR Lampoldshausen. The model matched the experimental results excellently, demonstrating its effectiveness in optimizing fuel feed system design. #RocketScience #Engineering #Flownex #SpaceTech #TransientSimulation

The first spacecraft powered by electricity will be launched by ISRO in December. According to ISRO Chairman S. Somanath, India's first indigenous spacecraft powered by electric propulsion would be launched by ISRO in December. Instead of using thrusters powered by gasoline, the Technology Demonstrator (TDS-1) will be powered by electricity. A satellite's total mass will decrease thanks to the electric propulsion system (EPS), which eliminates the need for bulk chemical fuel. . . ➡️Follow Zoof Software Solutions for more information  ➡️Feel free to ask any query at info@zoof.co.in  ➡️For more detail, visit: https://zoof.co.in/ . . #ISRO #ElectricPropulsion #SpaceTech #SpaceExploration #IndiaInSpace #TechnologyDemonstrator #TDS1 #SpaceInnovation #FutureOfSpace #ElectricSpacecraft #MadeInIndia #SustainableSpace #ZoofUnitedStates #SoftwareCompany #StartUpTechnology #mobilefriendlywebsite #Resourceoutsourcing #TechnologyConsulting #WebsiteDevelopment #SoftwareConsultant #ZoofSoftwareSolutions #zoof #zoofinc
