Russian scientists can now forget about promising moon and Mars research projects together with European and American partners. As well as about current missions for the study of distant space, which were also launched in conjunction with Western partners. While the entire cosmic sector of the Russian Federation is becoming part of the Armed Forces, the main rocket -building companies in the world give up all Russian developments.
This also applies to the Soviet-Russian missile engines of the RD series, which was recently found by the American defense giant Northrop Grumman. Instead of Russia, the company decided to buy power units from the manufacturer Firefly Aerospace, which was previously owned by the Ukrainian businessman Max Polyakov. The new statement of Northrop Grumman refers to a one-time Antares rocket, which over the past nine years has performed 14 successful launches out of 15.
The main design of this missile was developed in the Ukrainian KB Southern and made at the Southern Machine-Building Plant in the Dnieper. The development of the main degree Antares also participated in Ukrainian enterprises Hartron-Arcos (Kharkiv), Hartron-Yuka (Zaporozhye), Cesar, Rapid (Chernihiv) and others. “We were tasked with partially dismantling the finished products, refining them and collecting them so that they could work with a new engine.
