      "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!" (Ukrainian “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!”) is a Ukrainian patriotic greeting. The first part of the greeting "Glory to Ukraine" was actively used by the Ukrainian national liberation movement at the beginning of the 20th century and during the time of the Ukrainian People's Republic (1917-1920)[1][2].
      Option "Glory to Ukraine!" with the answer "Glory to the Heroes!" was adopted as an organizational password-greeting among members of the OUN and UPA at the beginning of World War II

      Chriz V. Yes, but the difference is, that a glider like the Space Shuttle is much harder to controll and it was able to calculate a new route depending on the weather data it self recognised and landed. The Space Shuttle wasn't able to fly in Autopilot. It was only able to execute programms for burnings and liftoff by Autopilot.

      But what good is a space plane if all you're doing is launching satellites etc? The shuttles were intended to ferry crews to orbit and back. The Soviets just weren't confident enough in the craft to risk human crew on the first launch. And whatever data was gleaned from that first flight obviously didnt impress them enough to try it again. That speaks volumes.

      actually the US space shuttle could land automatically too, with the MLS (Micro-wave Landing System) that is now used by the military. But the astronauts wanted to fly the shuttle during the landing phase, wich is understandable.
      It would be silly to have US space shuttle do all the maneuvers during the reentry done by the computer, but couldn't land itself like airliners (the autoland was already in use at that time).

The shuttles operated all the way into the last decade on 70s technology....and even Columbia damn near survived catastrophic damage to its wing sufaces.

    • @CmdrGendoIkari
      @CmdrGendoIkari Před 10 lety +15

      Space Shuttle and Buran were way too expensive to operate. However, aerospace technology has advanced a good amount since the 1970s. We could redesign and build a much cheaper version of the shuttle now. I wouldn't make it as large, nor to support 6 people for 3-4 weeks. In a way Space Shuttle was designed to sometimes play the role of temporary 'small' space station, which is an obsolete capability with ISS in orbit. Most of the modules on ISS don't even come close to filling the length of the Space Shuttle or Buran cargo bays, so why have it that long? Design it for just three crew to make relatively quick deliveries to ISS etc., unless it carries a MPLM type module in the cargo bay that could bring more people plus supplies for inside the station. The orbiter itself should just be built around the idea of being able to support 3 crew for 1 week in orbit; two pilots and a mission specialist. It would be quite a bit lighter, and thus require a smaller launch vehicle assembly. Make the entire launch vehicle assembly reusable with fast turnaround time. Either give the 1st stages wings and landing gear, or do what SpaceX is doing with vertically landing the 1st stage.
      If US, Russia, ESA, and Japan collaborated on design and production, it would be the most cost effective. US and Russia have done the space plane before, and have the most experience. ESA and Japan have experience designing small space planes before, but neither quite got to building them, so I would include those guys in the effort. Participating countries would each get their own fleet to operate.

    • @Aprilmarcloud
      @Aprilmarcloud Před 10 lety +6

      All in all, I agree. Reusable LV is a great goal (better if single stage to orbit). But, honestly, if we want to speak seriously about delivering significant mass to the space (and it means first to LEO) - we have to get rid from chemical rockets. Way too weak. Only nuclear engines will play a feasible goal here. USSR and USA had both programs for nuclear thermal rockets (NERVA, RD-410). We could have nuclear launch vehicles by 1975. Twice the payload!

    To manage the planting process, in addition to ground control and management, we used our own computer (Buran digital computer) Burana Biser-4. The military order determined the architecture of the BTSVM - it was implemented in the form of four parallel independent computational channels and a comparator that continuously compared the results at the output channels. In case of deviation of the results of any of the channels from the other three, it was switched off and the computer continued to work in its normal mode. In the same way, one more damaged computational channel could be disabled, than the automatic redundancy and fault tolerance of the computer was achieved. Computing channels (or kernels, in modern terminology) operated at a frequency of 4 MHz and had 128 KB of RAM and 16 KB of permanent program memory. Such architecture allowed the computer to control the landing process of the Buran even in the conditions of nuclear war (this was part of the TK at the request of the military).

    Imagine Energija-Buran-Baikal, a fully re-usable launch system around 1995, 20 years before Falcon 9 became reusable.

      Глонасс не работал так как работает сейчас. Там требуется не только большое количество спутников но и огромное количество наземных станций приемников. СССР хоть и планировал запуск глонасс но все же он не работал должным образом. Буран летел на автоматике, на таком принципе уже не строят беспилотники. Буран сам корректировал свой полет и посадку с уходом на второй круг, этими действиями слегка ошарашив своих создателей.

      Пилотирование и навигация это разные задачи) Что бы произвести пилотирование нужно знать текущие координаты судна, скорость, угол атаки, тангаж и т.д. Эти данные имеют случайный характер, поэтому не могут быть занесены в боротовой компьютер или точно измерены исключительно бортовыми средствами.
      Если судить по информации в интернете, то при посадке использовались "трассовый радиолокационный комплекс "Скала-МК", аэродромный обзорный радиолокатор "Ильмень" и посадочный радиолокационный комплекс "Волхов-П"". Первый обеспечивает дальность 600км. Остальные действуют только в районе аэродрома. Что использовалось при пилотировании за этой областью, вопрос открытый.

    One misconception about the Soviet shuttle was that it had air breathing jet engines for landing. This was not correct. One of the test orbiters (akin to the Shuttle Enterprise) did have jet engines that would alow it to fly to high altitude and then cut the engines and glide back to the runway. It was easier than having to use a 747.

      Because they were in a financial and political crisis, and launching a space shuttle-like thingy is too expensive, the reason why the Space Shuttle Program was terminated in 2011. The Russians rapidly saw that and stuck back to capsules. The problem is that today the Soyuz is almost the same thing it ever was, when it could be more advanced. If USA did the same, they wouldn't have this problem of not having their own spacecraft to send astronauts to the ISS.

    Secrecy in the N1 program can be explained.

Second - every rocket program in SU had "double designation" and had to be secret until it could fly and it'd be announced about that. And thirdly, there were doubts about necessity of moon project itself.

However, in my opinion, the Columbia disaster was probably the worst space disaster in history.

      Only superficially similar. Filling completely different. "Buran" had an effective system bailouts differed from the "shuttle". But a program to develop frozen

    Буран летал в космос полностью в автоматическом режиме, ему не нужен был пилот ни для взлета ни для посадки, так он и загремел в книгу рекордов.

    I have no problem with the Buran. The STS was a great design. Now the opportunity is to 'get out there'. The world learned a bunch of engineering and saw the risks and costs... we can go forward and fulfill the ideas and ambitions of why all this stuff was built in the first place. When you go to orbit and beyond, we are no longer just a citizen from some nation... Your a human from Earth traveling our common solar system. 500, 1000, 10 thousand years from now...will be fantastic!

      If it is copy, please tell me any technical characteristic, which similar to Shattle, except apperiance :) I guess there is not and the technical characterisitc of BURAN are better then Shattle's one :)

      AHAHAHHA, so stupid, your idiotic shuttle can't automatic fly without people on board and automatic land and our Buran done that in a 80-90. I'll tell you, that a little bit similar view don't tells that it similar in a technic view, so america suck as usual^^

      Darius Maximus Russia actually has the better space tech, you should research before commenting. This is a fact. Russia has brought more people and equipment to space than any other country. In fact, the only way to get to space now is with Russian made rocket engines. They also have the most experience in space via Mir. Americans could only manage weeks at most while Russian's stayed in space for months at a time. The international space station's life supports systems are based off Russian tech, and rightfully so since they have the more mature time tested tech.

    • @jetpigeon8758
      @jetpigeon8758 Před 10 lety +1

      All that the Russians do is copy the USA, When the USA built the worlds first nuclear submarine the Russians had to rush theirs in to service with disastrous consequences. The Americans built 5 working space shuttles which were years ahead of their time, the Russians built BURAN which never went in to space. Now in 2014 Russia uses SOYUZ, a relic from the 1970's and they only launch that because the USA has paid ROSCOSMOS $69 billion to always have at least one seat on every launch.
      Without USA money the SOYUZ would not launch as often as it currently does.
      Also this agreement between NASA and ROSCOSMOS does not expire until 2017, after this the USA will have new advanced shuttle replacements.
