Expert: The cause of failure in the Russian space is unprofessional people with a soldering iron – Rosbalt.RU

MOSCOW, May 25. Space industry experts expressed surprise explanations Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin recent failures in space. According to them, the main causes of falling missiles are unprofessional activity technicians and attempts to “Roskosmos” to save projects. It is reported by Radio Business FM.

In particular, the corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics Tsiolkovsky, Yuri Karash extremely surprised that Rogozin was still not aware of how to operate in the Federal Space Agency.

“Rogozin himself for three years, if not more, responsible for the state of the Russian space industry. And if he does not know why still use slide rules, compasses, T-square, instead of computers in the first place, it is a matter for him “- says Karash in response to the statement Rogozin that” Roskosmos still working on a whim, rather than mathematically simulate the situation “.

The expert also said that” Proton “does not fall due to defects in design, and technological deficiencies. “It is simply irresponsible or unprofessional on the activities of workers or technicians on the assembly line. And I do not quite understand how to use the computer can be an employee of a non-professional to do professional, I mean someone who works with a soldering iron, wire cutters, pliers, spanners keys and so on “, – says correspondent member.

Technical problems really are, but the cause of accidents in a very different, says scientific director of the Space Policy Institute, Ivan Moiseyev. According to him, today’s machines are not designed to have something to do with the details of the paper can build and process them directly from your computer.

“This is a technological gap, which, in general, is characterized by low productivity. This reduces the reliability “- says Moses.

According to him, this is not the most important point in this regard. More importantly, the reliability of the falls “because of violations of the technological cycle, the deviation from that procedure, a clear sequence of documented procedures for the manufacture, testing, inspection, assembly”. “Trying to save money, reduce time for these procedures, it is likely these accidents. That’s the main reason. Rather, organizational than technical,” – summarizes the expert.

The rockets “Proton-M” which are used to in-orbit satellite failures haunt since 2010. In mid-May launched a carrier rocket “Proton-M” with the Mexican satellite MexSat-1. Abnormal situation has arisen for a minute before the estimated time of separating the upper stage “Briz-M” and the satellite. The cause of the accident could be a failure of the third stage steering engine. The commission, which will determine the cause of the incident and to establish accountability.

At the end of last week, the Accounting Chamber unveiled details Abuse Roskosmos worth over 90 billion rubles. The head of the supervisory authority Tatyana Golikova explained that it was a violation of budgetary reporting, misuse, as well as inefficient use of funds during construction.
