"Oryol" next-generation manned spacecraft

Splashdown trials of Russia’s new manned spacecraft to begin next spring

All required calculations have already been completed

MOSCOW, November 28. /TASS/. Splashdown trials for the reentry module of Russia’s future manned spacecraft Federatsiya (Federation) will begin at Russia’s Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) in the spring of 2019, the institute’s director general, Kirill Sypalo, told TASS.

According to the officials, all required calculations have already been completed.

"Right now we are planning experimental trials of a model, [to be held] at our hydrodynamic test canal," the scientist said.

The TsAGI is the traditional partner of the Energia Space Rocket Corporation (the developer of the Federatsiya spacecraft) and is responsible for the air segment of the trajectory of space and aerospace systems. In January, the TsAGI chief executive said tests of the spacecraft’s model for the stage of its descent in the atmosphere had been held in the institute’s wind tunnels.

The Federatsiya spacecraft is being developed by the Energia Space Rocket Corporation. The spacecraft is designed to deliver humans and cargoes both into a near-Earth orbit and into deep space. The spacecraft will have a crew of up to 4 persons. It will be capable of operating in the mode of an autonomous flight for up to 30 days and for a term of a year as part of an orbital station.

As the Energia press office reported, the corporation has issued the main volume of working design documentation for holding autonomous and comprehensive trials. Energia has also launched work to make the mockups of the spacecraft’s compartments, including their structural design and onboard systems. The promising transport spacecraft is scheduled to enter flight trials in an unmanned mode in 2022.

Russia to use Federatsiya spacecraft for deep space flights, says Roscosmos chief

It is intended for flights to the Moon and for deep space rather than for flights to the ISS, Dmitry Rogozin said

MOSCOW, February 22. /TASS/.Russia’s promising Federatsiya spacecraft that will be renamed will be used for flights to the Moon and deep space flights, Head of State Space Corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin told journalists on Friday.

"While the flight tests of the new manned transport spacecraft, which we earlier called Federatsiya, will begin in 2022, we proceed from the fact that this will be a heavy reusable spacecraft with the enhanced thermal and radiation protection," the Roscosmos chief said.

"That is, it is intended for flights to the Moon and for deep space rather than for flights to the ISS [International Space Station]. This is because it will be very costly to use it on the ISS while Soyuz MS spacecraft and its further modifications will remain for the ISS," Rogozin said.

Deep space flights in a tin can? They need to look up Solar coronal mass ejection events. Going to the Moon is not the same thing
as taking 6+ month trips to Mars, etc.

Time to leave the 1960s. Go full bore nuclear and design proper, magnetically shielded capsules. The "too expensive" BS is getting
tiresome. In fact, it is crypto corruption since ludicrously high prices are charged for obsolete junk tech (whether it is freshly made
or not does not matter).

New system to navigate Russia’s promising spacecraft from Earth and Moon

The new navigation system may also be useful in military satellites, if the GPS system is switched off, the researcher said

MOSCOW, March 1. /TASS/. Russia’s promising Federatsiya spacecraft will be furnished with an extra navigation camera to steer it both by stars and orienteering points on the Earth and the Moon, Head of Optico-Physical Studies at the Space Research Institute Roman Bessonov told TASS on Friday.

The so-called astro-orienteering systems are traditionally mounted on satellites: optical devices steer them by the Sun and stars. The new system features optical channels that will also specify the satellites’ position by terrain features on the Earth and the Moon.

"In addition to two stellar channels, two more channels look at the Earth or the Moon, i.e. at the planets. One of them is wide-angled and highlights the horizon and large-scale objects: continents on the Earth or large craters on the Moon. A narrower channel allows singling out smaller orienteering points through larger resolution," the researcher noted.

The system’s work may be impeded by the Earth’s clouds or the night time when orienteering points cannot be seen, he added.

"But in any case, the result will be obtained by processing single measurements on the ballistic trajectory," Bessonov said.

As the researcher noted, the new system will serve as the basis for defining orienteering angles for the Federatsiya spacecraft in outer space and as reserve technology for determining coordinates (i.e. it will supplement the operation of GPS/Glonass systems or radio range ground stations).

The new navigation system may be useful in military satellites, if the GPS system is switched off, the researcher added.

A contract on continuing the work on the system was offered by Russia’s Energia Space Rocket Corporation quite recently, in late 2018, the researcher said.

Earlier, the project was halted at the stage of developing the working design documentation due to irregular financing, although technical design work was fulfilled 5-6 years ago, he noted.
Federatsiya spacecraft

The Federatsiya spacecraft is being developed by the Energia Space Rocket Corporation. The spacecraft is designed to deliver humans and cargoes both into near-Earth orbit and into deep space. The spacecraft will have a crew of up to 4 cosmonauts. It will be capable of operating in the mode of an autonomous flight for up to 30 days and for a term of a year as part of an orbital station.

Head of Russia’s State Space Corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin said in January that the promising Federatsiya spacecraft will get a new name in the future.

Instead of a NEW name, perhaps they should focus instead in accelerating the completion date of this project.

New name for Russia’s new-generation Federatsiya spacecraft already chosen - Roscosmos

BAIKONUR /Kazakhstan/, March 15. /TASS/. A new name has been invented for Russia’s new-generation spacecraft, currently known as Federatsiya (Federation), the director general of Russia’s state corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, told reporters on Friday.

"We have invented [a new name]," Rogozin said, without disclosing it.
Earlier, Rogozin announced that the corporation would give a "male name" to its new-generation partially-reusable manned spacecraft.

Well it seems they're going to need a new team.
So why not a new name too?

That's really not true.

Your grip on substantial differences is lacking. The range-energy relation for MeV electrons has 15 cm of aluminum being essentially
transparent to them. Please show me evidence where the thickness of the crew modules from the 1960s until today having increased
changed substantially from 1/4 inches. Plastic counts for nothing. No crew module uses lead.

Until magnetic shielding is deployed don't claim that there has been reactive armour type deltas in technology. Seriously, can
you even post anything relevant to the topic and honest?

I meant the rocket eh bud?

But now I see you were talking about the capsule. My bad.

Trials of next-generation Orel spacecraft’s descent module due in 2020 - source

A spokesperson for Russia’s state-run space corporation Roscosmos said it was too early to set timeframes for the landing capsule’s trials

MOSCOW, September 21. /TASS/. The trials of the descent capsule of Russia’s next-generation partially reusable Orel spacecraft (formerly known as Federatsiya) will be held in the second half of 2020, a source in Russia’s rocket and space industry told TASS.

"Tests related to the Orel spacecraft descent module’s landing are planned to take place in the second half of 2020," the source said, without specifying how long those trials may take.

A spokesperson for Russia’s state-run space corporation Roscosmos said it was too early to set timeframes for the landing capsule’s trials.

"Tests of components and systems of the prospective new-generation spacecraft proceed in line with the previously agreed schedule. The schedule may vary depending on their results, that’s why it is a bit early to speak right now about implementing the state testing program in the second half of 2020," the corporation said.

The Federatsiya (Orel) spacecraft is being developed by the Energia Space Rocket Corporation. The spacecraft is designed to deliver humans and cargoes both into a near-Earth orbit and into deep space. The spacecraft will have a crew of up to 4 persons. It will be capable of operating in the mode of an autonomous flight for up to 30 days and for a term of a year as part of an orbital station.

The first uncrewed launch of Orel is scheduled for 2023, from the Vostochny space center in Russia’s Far East. No docking with the ISS is planned. During the second launch, due in 2024, the spacecraft will dock with the orbital outpost. Manned Orel missions are to begin in 2025.

This tread should be renamed back to PTK-NP

At the rate Trampoline Man is going they will delay this thing 10 more times and rename it at least 5 more before it's launched for the first time (if ever)

you are right.. I have already change this topic name 3 times (PPTS, Federation, Orel). It seems its better to leave it with his project name until it will be launched

Construction of future manned spacecraft reached its final stage — Roscosmos CEO
