Proton - peaceful life of a military rocket
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2019
- UR-500 Proton is a heavy-class launch vehicle, developed in the 1960s by the OKB-52 under the leadership of Vladimir Chelomey. Initially a heavy ballistic missile was given a civilian life. It is used to launch heavy loads into the orbits of the most Soviet, Russian and also international space projects, including the ISS modules.
Now in operation is the modification Proton-M - the flagship model of launch vehicles of the modern space industry in Russia.

"Not exactly environmentally friendly, but lets face it, when you have a nuclear bomb on the front of on top of it it hardly applies" (not an exact quote), Well, there has never been a truer statement!!
But now it is a problem for the rocket
@@flyerkiller5073 Dead cows and horses have been found in the flight path of successful launches that use the propellants, believed to have grazed on grass contaminated by fallen space debris.
Imagine being the truck driver who had to carry the tsar bomb behind him.
Well, if an anomaly occurred, it would be over quick.
I don’t think it matters to the driver how powerful the bomb is behind him)
I'd hate to been the pilot who had to fly the bomb. He was given only a 50% chance of making it out alive.
The tzar bomb where originally planned to be twice as big,.
I'd feel safer than being in a high crime neighbourhood of Detroit at night. Drop any idea that such devices would "accidentally go off". Not a chance. The explosion needed to produce equal pressure of the fission producing chamber is quite sophisticated, and the detonator inserts, and sometimes even the cores are always stored separately from the main body, only inserted directly before the intended use. So I wouldn't be exactly biting my nails transporting it. I would however have somewhat different worries, concerning ethics of its intended use.
I would love a video on the R7 and all of it's variants and descendents. From being the first ICBM to launching Sputnik, Gagarin, to the modern Soyuz launcher.
OK, you got a thumbs-up for that. Unless I'm in error, the R7 (aka, Soyuz Launching System) had dozens of variants. Poor Skyships Eng would have to produce a multi-part documentary to do this launcher justice. It would be very fun to watch all the unreleased footage of successes and glories (and failures) of the R7.
@@respectbossmon Yes, this rocket can be explained in a little marathon
@@respectbossmon Korolev was a genius in the rocket business. If only he could see how successful his rocket has become.
Scott Manley has a video on the development and evolution Semyorka Rocket Family
In the absence of the Space shuttle the Proton took over the mantle. A powerful link to the ISS.
Thermonuclear carrier not really an ecological friendly. Very nice line. Thanks.
I was going to ask you to do one on the Proton but here
it is. Must have read your mind.
I LOVE Proton and the R7 platform. Russian space travel is extremely important to world history
Ooooo! I love it when you talk spaceflight!
Your absolute best! (so far...) .I really enjoyed it.
Another great video. Now you have to do a series about the others soviet/russian satelite launch systems.
That would be AWESOME. Western launch systems are covered to death; would love to hear about the R7, N1, etc, especially with all the great footage.
Soyuz gets all the Credit but Proton does all the Real work.
What an outstanding mini documentary!
Another video from SkyShipsEng and you are the best Russian and English speaker narrator.
Hm, the ISS was started by this rocket. interesting
*well...*
The Proton was one of the most powerful rocket in the world and it was much cheaper, than the American rockets (before SpaceX)
US and Russia worked together... good times
@@ervandrush3116 Maybe now, in the running, but because the US and the Russians let their super heavy boosters fall to the wayside (Saturn V, as well as Energia). The Shuttle was supposed to carry quite a payload - 29+ tonnes under best circumstances for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) - but they NASA dialed that back, and then retired the craft. Proton M comes in at ~24 tonnes for LEO , not much more than Falcon 9, which under best circumstances seems to come in at 22.8 tonnes for LEO. Falcon Heavy supposedly gets up to 63.8 tonnes for LEO. Otherwise, the Delta IV heavy can do 28+ tonnes for LEO supposedly.
@@michaeldunne338 Using a Delta IV heavy for LEO is wasting taxpayer money ;-)
It's insanely expensive and its hydrolox engines shine in space, so it's best suited for deep-space missions ;-)
I love your videos! Love your efforts
It was later re-developed into the magisterial _Proton Torpedo_ for Star Fleet. 😊
Another great video Sky! 😆
thanks for the video! i love rocket history.
It feels good to know that there was a Soviet rocket designer who cared about environment enough to not use toxic fuels
Thanks for the video! It is very interesting to know
you’ve got going the same background music as techmoan!!! 🤩
Thank you!
Great workhorse also looks magnificent.
Pro tip: When your nuclear weapon requires a Moon rocket or even a heavy rocket, you should probably take a week off and come back to rethink what you're doing.
Any chance we could see you feature the Buran some day?
Excellent!
Good video, make more stories about the spacecrafts and rockets
Given that they blew up several N1 rockets, probably for the best they didn't use UDMH/N2O4. Would have created the worlds largest toxic death cloud!
That being said, having only 8 engines likely would have increased their safety significantly...
Awesine! Make more space videos!
Great video!
BTW, what's the background music titled?
This is a legendary rocket
the reason Koroliov didn't want to use hypergolic engines wasn't that they are polluting. the reason was safety. these fuels are toxic, corrosive and explode when mixed together. This does not apply to RP 1 or liquid hydrogen
Any chance of a video on the SAAB 340/2000? Think it's the last major turboprop you haven't talked about yet. Great video!
Maybe later)
Well this was an unexpected but welcome surprise!
I've been to Baikonur, laid my hands on a Proton and watched a half dozen launches in person. They're a nice little rocket, but I was very nervous every time they launched -- their track record hasn't been the greatest. It's no wonder they always to a blessing at the launch pad (kind of wet, but interesting).
Good experience)
What's with these negative comments? Trolls? The proton series still have 90% success rate which is not as good as Soyuz but still great. People really lack research..
Kindly make a video of Spacex starship prototype. Full development timeline with development coverage of two startship prototypes.
Okay, so the Proton was how make my KSP rockets.
basically: Moar boosters and moar struts
You could add "Safe ignition "
Similar story like the American Atlas, which started development as a nuclear weapon delivery system but became one of the main space craft launch vehicles.
well Energija (Energy) was also amazing rocket
True, but it appeared in the wrong time...
What happens if a Proton rocket hits an Electron rocket? :-)
The Proton is the main Falcon 9 global competitor
It lost this competition
@@flyerkiller5073Falcon 9 is 45 years younger than Proton.
@@flyerkiller5073what is truly amazing about the proton is the fact that its western peers such as the titan-4 or the space shuttle or even the delta 4 hevy (although again it was much younger than the proton) have either already died like the first two... or are now dying under the pressure of space- x like the third one. And the proton, despite adversities, is still alive and kicking
I have heard that the initial structure concept and design of that the ISS is a Soviet legacy. Has anyone more detailed or correcting information?
Don't think of it as if we're firing nuclear bombs at our enemy, think of it as a rapid delivery of fusion reactors to the masses.
With both the United States and Soviet Union having advanced technology and space travel so much in a pretty short passage of time, imagine if they had worked together on the peaceful side of things..... not the thermonuclear weapons side of course....
The thermonuclear weapons as well, gotta teach those aliens a lesson
Can you do a video about the MD-80
I will)
@@SkyshipsEng About the DC-9 at first
Baikonur Cosmodrome....next..
does the proton engine gimbal
12:00 Techmoan music.
Standard youtube music
speaking of UDMH 7:01 " they were not used.... obvious UDMH exhaust in rocket plume.......lmao.. We used in in Saturn and still do . It's good shit
*used it
Hypergolic fuels such as UDMH were not used to propel any of the Saturn rockets.
The Proton, the rocket launch vehicle that could have been the real lunar vehicle if N1 had failed and the infighting over who should run the space program bureau after Sergey Korolev's demise never happened.
should make an envrironmentally friendy Proton K and M using hydrogen and Lox fuels......
After this video, make the Il-62!!!!!
I think he will make the Il-18 at first
@@trash4cash454 Il-62 will be published soon
Do one on the Soyuz!
hey sky please do make video of "PSLV" of Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO)
Out of 400 49 failed, seems very reliable to me
you are confusing failed missions with failed launches, these are two different things
When you are putting a Hydrogen bomb in payload, eco friendly fuel is not a big issue :p
A little difference, Rusiia has never used atom-bomb against people, USA - yes. not funny
If they had it they would have used it against Nazi Germany in the seige of Stalingrad. In the event they used conventional weapons to terrorise and torture the German population.Ironic !
@@rext8949 what do you call what Nazi did to the Soviet people?
They used to make alot of space garbage, it's time to sign a UN agreement of not creating garbage in space....
You stupid
