Russia launched the first reusable aircraft. The creation of an unmanned rocket has been the company "ISON", which provided a picture of the new system edition of RIA Novosti. It is expected that with its help it will be possible excretion of payload into orbit.
The Device will be equipped with a rocket engine 14Д30 — it is used on the upper stage block "breeze-M". With its help it will be possible to fly at an altitude of up to 160 kilometers (output satellites orbit at an altitude of up to 500 kilometers). Unmanned rocket designed for at least 50 flights.
"ISON" also provided the breeding scheme of the apparatus into orbit. The rocket can be used multiple times because at the initial stage the flight will use the aircraft (M-55 "Geophysics"). To carry out its planned landing using parachutes.
According to the head of the developer, the unit will not be used for attack purposes, he did not exclude the possibility of exporting the UAV. He also said that when creating the rocket plane will be used only Russian components.
Drafting the first "multiple" Russian aircraft have a cost of 55 million rubles. That's how much the company has received "Eason" from the Corporation "Proekt-Tekhnika" and Fund "SKOLKOVO". The cost of the second stage of works is estimated at 280 million rubles: part, again, will cover "SKOLKOVO", and the remaining funds will come "from other investors." The development of the rocket plane is in the interests of "Roscosmos".
Its unmanned spaceplane is also developing the us company Boeing, which produced the device for the U.S. air force. After the fifth run he was in orbit for over 500 days.
What do you think, will the Russian company to repeat this success? Your opinion share .
