Earth to On-board!
There's separation of tower and pneumatic tower of the block E, 70th! There's extra one, there's tower, 20th! There's tower, 30th! Reports are accepted, 1st is out!
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Start! There's start! Onboard power's on!
Ignition, oxygen!
Minimum (level of thrust)!
Intermediate one!
Max one! Lift off!
There's command for lift-off, engines of the central and side units of carrier's reached the max level of thrust.
10! 10! Parameters of the carrier are OK.
15!
Flight is OK. Copy that! Timer's started.
Before the start the rocket is fixed in starting structure with the upper power belt, we can see it over there.
The engines are started:
preliminary level (of thrust), intermediate one (along all units) then side engines of the side units
go to max level of thrust and the rocket begins to lift up in such state.
While it's lifting, breakable 140-mm connectors down there break and by that the Central unit's engine got the command for max level of thrust.
And now all the engines of all units are at max level (of thrust) and rocket lifts off.
And because the trusses of the upper power belt are releasing at the moment of lift-off - counterweights drive them to the sides and the rocket goes up between the trusses of the upper power belt.
Propulsion system are engaged by signals from the flying control
The membranes are opened, kerosene and oxygen are preliminary blown into the tanks,
the liquid components is going to the fuel lines throughout fuel and oxidizer pumps, after that they are going into combustion-chamber assembly.
Аfter that the components are gasifying. Then the engines are started at minimum level of thrust by command "Ignition", with the help of firing cartridge which fires this gas mixture.
15! The parameters of flying control system are OK!
The Flying control system consists of: 1) Censors which measure the position of object, 2) CPU that calculates the trajectory of flight and 3) Engine control system.
20! The engines of the first and second stages are working fine!
We are mounting the cable system at present moment. We are positioning the cables for them to fit to the temperature and pressure sensors, i.e. the information is going through by these wires.
And after that that these wires and censors are connected, the solderers are coming and solder all the connections. And after that the check-ins are taking place.
30! The parameters of the construction of the carrier are OK!
The U-511 rocket draws its desent from the late 50ths but it serves us to the present moment.
Any block, any control unit, any rocket, any system goes through a huge cycle of test-drives.
And the durability test is only first stage of test-drives.
Every unit is going through repeated tests if there's any uncertainties. The Calculation Test is at first. Then the Experiment Tests consisting of units, consisting of systems are undergoned.
Sometimes the whole blocks can be dynamically tested and the whole rockets sometimes.
And there's telemetry information that constantly comes in from the sensors during the flight that helps us to know the state of the whole rocket.
40! The stabilization of "the Product" is stable.
For more than 50 years our Research Institute of Applicable Mechanics which bears the name of a member of Academy Kuznetsov,
designs and produces the gyroscopic instruments for the spacecrafts of different designations.
These are carriers, boosters and other spacecrafts.
And if the main goal at the first decades of our activity was the designing and producing of stabilized gyroscopic platforms based on mechanical-based gyroscopes.
then since the end of last century our main goal was the producing of non-platform inertial navigation systems,
50! The pressure in combustion chambers are normal.
The check of containment of the two (of 4) side boosters: "Grigoriy" and "Vladimir" is taking place today.
