This happened exactly a year after the accident, “Proton” the same scenario – and against the backdrop of the recent loss of the ship “Progress” after which delayed the return to earth of cosmonauts to the ISS.
It was exactly a year later, after the accident, “Proton” the same scenario – and against the backdrop of the recent loss of the ship “Progress”, after which delayed the return to earth of cosmonauts to the ISS.
Manager confidently counting the seconds after launch. Carrier rocket “Proton-M” was successfully launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Engines worked steadily at the 120th second separated the first stage, after three minutes – the second, the engines are started the third stage. And then in the ninth minute flight dispatcher finishes its report. This means that the “Proton-M” with the Mexican communication satellite was never released in the desired orbit. One minute before the separation of the satellite from the rocket accident occurred.
“The head part, that is the third stage, plus the upper stage of NAM, plus spacecraft went ballistic trajectory, entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, destroying, certain tanks exploded , fuel is burnt, “- said the chief editor of” Space News “, Academician of the RA space names of Tsiolkovsky Igor Marinin.
The third stage of “Proton” with the head unit fell from a height of 160 kilometers. If the debris reached Earth, they would have collapsed on the territory of Trans-Baikal Territory. It is there that flew the plane MOE to survey the area and search for possible debris “Proton”. The nearest village is located just over 100 kilometers.
According to preliminary information, in the upper stage could be up to 10 tonnes of fuel – highly toxic giptila. The Russian Space Agency has said: at the moment of the facts falling debris have been recorded and most likely part of the rocket with fuel burned still in the air. In connection with the case in Rospotrebnadzor and Rosgidromettsentre monitored environment and reported that there was no threat to the population and ecology of the region do not have.
As for the Mexican communications satellites, he, as well as the rocket launch was fully insured by the customer.
The causes of the accident to be seen of a special commission of Roscosmos. This may require a few days to a few weeks. After all, experts will
“Proton-M” – a modernized version of the rocket. She worked at the State Research and Production Space Center named after Khrunichev, engines themselves were released in 2013 in Moscow and in the Voronezh region, by the way, this is not the first accident “Proton-M”.
A year ago, a similar scenario after 9 minutes of flight during the third stage propulsion system failure occurs. Together with the rocket then lost most powerful Russian satellite communications.
“From 2008 to now been carried out 49 launches of carrier rockets” Proton “, 5 failures with the” Breeze, “was the fault of the upper stage of the complex” Breeze-M “. Every 10 launch – a high figure” – said the member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics, Yuri Karash.
And just a few weeks ago there was an emergency situation with the cargo spacecraft “Progress”. Again at the moment of separation from the third stage. The PCO has ceased to act telemetric information, the ship and failed to dock with the ISS. Its fragments fell into the Pacific Ocean.
