Back in October it was estimated at 178 million rubles The head of the Ministry of Eastern Development Alexey Chekunkov at the exhibition-forum “Russia” at VDNKh spoke about the increase in the base cost of the Baikal aircraft. As the official noted, the price will exceed 200 million rubles.  [caption id="attachment_84363" align="aligncenter" width="780"] aircraft[/caption] The base price of the light-engine aircraft “Baikal” will exceed 200 million rubles Alexey Chekunkov explained: I think that taking into account leasing payments, its total cost will be slightly higher than 200 million, however, by lengthening the leasing period, the efficiency for Aurora is maintained. Chekunkov emphasized that the cost depends on the configuration of the aircraft. Let us note that this is not the first “rise in price” of Baikal. Initially, it was expected that the aircraft would cost about 120 million rubles, but in October 2023, the Russian Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev, announced that the estimated price had increased to 178 million rubles.  The light multi-purpose LMS-901 “Baikal” should become a replacement for the Soviet An-2. The nine-seater aircraft can reach a cruising speed of 300 km/h and fly over distances of up to 3 thousand km, and with a payload weighing 2 tons - 1.5 thousand km. The first Baikal aircraft are planned to be produced in 2025.

The next launch could take place in December Visitors to the SpaceX Starbase spaceport in Boca Chica now have another place against which they can take beautiful pictures. A photograph of a giant neon sign with the inscription “Gateway to Mars” was published a couple of hours ago by the head of the company, Elon Musk. [caption id="attachment_85542" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Starship launch pad[/caption] Last week, workers began installing massive white letters on a newly built wall near the Starship launch pad. Some SpaceX fans have expressed regret over the recent construction of a large wall around parts of the launch complex. They see this as another step towards gradually closing SpaceX Starbase to the public. “Gateway to Mars,” a huge neon sign appeared on the Starship launch pad The new sign appeared a couple of weeks after Starship's second launch. This time we managed to reach the stage of stage separation, but a few moments later the launch vehicle exploded. The Starship spacecraft continued its flight , but also exploded approximately 8 minutes after it began. [caption id="attachment_85543" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Starship launch pad[/caption] Musk said the next Starship could be ready to fly in December, but SpaceX needs to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Instead of CFM International LEAP 1C, other engines will be installed We have already written that COMAC is working on new versions of the C919 passenger airliner : a shortened version (Shortened Variant) with 140 seats and a longer version (Stretched Variant) with 210 seats. Now additional details have emerged about future aircraft. [caption id="attachment_85285" align="aligncenter" width="780"] COMAC C919[/caption] The fuselage of the COMAC C919 Shortened Variant will be shortened by 3.6 meters – to 34 meters. With 140 passengers accommodated in two classes, the flight range will be 3000 km. And this is a rather interesting point, since nothing will be changed except the fuselage (the wing will remain the same, the engines will be the same CFM International LEAP 1C as the regular version), but at the same time, a standard C919 with 168 passengers on board can fly 4075 km . The Shortened Variant will likely be used for cargo transport more than the regular C919. “Stretched” COMAC C919 will receive more powerful engines and an extended wing [caption id="attachment_85286" align="aligncenter" width="780"] COMAC C919[/caption] But the COMAC C919 Stretched Variant will be significantly redesigned. The fuselage will be lengthened by 7.4 m relative to the base model - up to 45 meters. This option will receive a different wing (extended) and an “improved engine” - the CFM International LEAP 1C will be replaced with something more powerful. The flight range in a two-class cabin configuration with 210 passengers on board will be 4,500 km. In the COMAC C919 line, the Shortened Variant will become a kind of analogue of the Airbus A319, and the Stretched Variant can be recorded as an analogue of the Airbus A321.

It will become the largest aircraft engine in Russian history As reported in the official Rostec telegram channel, tests of the domestic fifth-generation full-size turbojet engine PD-35 are planned for early 2024. It will be the largest aircraft engine in Russian history: the diameter of the PD-35 fan is 3.1 meters and the thrust is 35 tons. These power plants are created by the subsidiary of the United Engine Corporation, UEC-Aviadvigatel. [caption id="attachment_85128" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PD-35 aircraft engine[/caption] Tests of the PD-35 aircraft engine will start early next year The production version of the PD-35 aircraft engine should appear by 2030. It is planned to be installed on the long-range wide-body aircraft CRC929, being developed jointly with China, the Russian military transport aircraft An-124-100 Ruslan and the domestic passenger wide-body aircraft Il-96-400M for medium and long-haul airlines. In October of this year, the first tests of the gas generator of the PD-35 aircraft engine took place . Tests were carried out under conditions simulating the operation of a full-size power plant; parameters such as pressure, temperature, effort, fuel and oil consumption, stress, vibration, etc. were assessed. Tests showed good agreement between the obtained parameters of the gas generator and the design data.

Chinese private space companies have joined the development of their own efficient and powerful methane engines China is actively developing a program to create engines based on the full cycle of methane combustion for its reusable cargo launch vehicle Long March 9. The development of such engines, providing a thrust of 200 tons, includes a full cycle of design and creation of components. The tests tested prototypes and components such as ignitors, gas generators and nozzle chambers. Scientists from the Xi'an Aerospace Propulsion Institute have detailed the progress China has made in developing engines powered by methane and oxygen. The institute is an important design unit of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), responsible for the development of liquid propellant rocket engines. According to CASC officials, the first stage of the Long March 9 super-heavy launch vehicle will include 26 reusable engines. The first test launch of the powerful rocket is scheduled for 2033. [caption id="attachment_85016" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Long March 9 and Long March 5 rockets[/caption] The study of engines based on a complete stepwise combustion cycle of methane and oxygen began in China back in the 1980s. Currently, methanolox engines with a capacity of 10 and 80 tons of thrust have been developed. The latter have already undergone successful fire tests and have become a breakthrough in the reliability and reusability of the engine. According to CASC's plans, the development of such engines will contribute to China's plans for large-scale space exploration, including landing on Mars. The main characteristics make the engine based on the full combustion cycle of methane and oxygen comparable to the SpaceX Raptor engine. The world's second full-stage methane-oxygen combustion engine is superior to Blue Origin's BE-4 engine and other domestic and international methane-only engines, although the latter have more thrust. Full combustion cycle engines provide high thrust and efficiency, and also have advantages in reliability and recyclability. However, challenges exist, including complex system configurations, integration and assembly difficulties, and problems with ignition control. The review also notes progress in the development of methanol engines by Chinese commercial enterprises. Specifically mentioned are the Mingfeng-1 engines developed by CASIC, the Tianque engines that power Landspace's Zhuque-2 rocket, the JD-1/Focus-1 engine for iSpace's Hyperbola series of reusable rockets, and the Longyun engines developed by Jiuzhou. Yunjian, and Aerospace Propulsion's Canglong development. Landspace was one of the first to receive private investment after China opened up the space sector to private capital. It successfully launched Zhuque-2, the first and so far only methanol rocket to reach orbit. Now the startup plans to create a methanol rocket made of stainless steel, Zhuque-3, capable of delivering 20 tons of cargo into low Earth orbit in a single-use mode or 16.5 tons in a reusable mode. At the same time, iSpace, which has already made a name for itself in the market, recently conducted a test with the test stage of its methanol Hyperbola rocket. In the near future, it is planned to conduct a test at an altitude of one kilometer. Breakthroughs in methanol propulsion in China, as well as SpaceX's successes and their demonstration of rocket reusability, have led to an adjustment in China's long-term plans. In 2011, plans were presented to equip the Long March 9 super-heavy rocket with kerosene engines providing 500 tons of thrust, together with liquid oxygen. These engines are at a more advanced stage of testing, but will be used in a rocket with an expendable launch system. However, new designs unveiled in 2022–2023 show a Long March 9 rocket configuration using methanol engines without boosters. One of the longer range options resembles the Super Heavy/Starship design. In addition, China is developing a three-stage heavy rocket specifically to send Chinese astronauts to the Moon by 2030. This rocket will be equipped with upgraded Carolox engines based on the technology of the Long March 5 rocket.

Approval will be received by Friday Elon Musk has confirmed that SpaceX will receive approval to launch the Starship rocket by the scheduled date of November 17. I have just been informed that approval to launch is due in time for launch on Friday. The space company SpaceX previously announced the exact date of the second Starship launch. But then it was reported that the company was still awaiting final approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). [caption id="attachment_81961" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Starship rocket[/caption] Confirmed: the huge 122-meter Starship rocket will launch on November 17 On its first launch, the rocket rose high and flew for more than three minutes, but lost several engines, caused serious damage to the launch pad and entered a dive, after which it was remotely  destroyed . After the launch, a crater appeared in the ground, concrete pieces scattered across the area, and the environment was damaged, some species of wildlife of which are in danger of extinction. The launch also caused a fire of approximately 16,000 m2 within  the state park.

Preliminary reason given One of the engines of the Il-76 transport aircraft began to burn during takeoff from the airfield in Dushanbe, as reported by Izvestia, citing several sources. According to reports, one of the engines began to increase in temperature during takeoff, and during the climb it caught fire. The crew decided to dump fuel, turn around, and land the plane. No harm done. [caption id="attachment_72764" align="aligncenter" width="780"] the engine of the Il-76 plane[/caption] The Telegram channel Baza channel with more than 1 million subscribers, in turn, reported that the plane caught fire while still on the ground: “According to preliminary data, on the night of October 19-20, a wheel on the plane exploded during acceleration, after which a fire started. The plane skidded off the runway and completely burned out.” The engine of the Il-76 plane caught fire during takeoff Later, the same source added that “the preliminary cause of the fire is the destruction of the wheel pneumatics during acceleration with subsequent entry of elements into the engine. It was because of this that the fire started in the engine. The plane skidded off the runway. The crew evacuated." It is worth adding that the Il-76 made its first flight on March 25, 1971, and the first production aircraft made its first flight on May 5, 1973. In total, over the years of production, 955 aircraft were produced, of which more than 100 were exported. This week it was announced the creation of a completely new light military transport aircraft, the Il-212, which will replace both the An-26 and An-72. A few days ago, due to a non-functioning engine, a Boeing 737 made an emergency landing in Novosibirsk. In September, an Airbus A320 plane made an emergency landing in a field near Novosibirsk.

The company reported to the Securities Exchange Commission that it sold about 4.7 million shares to an undisclosed investor for $4.25 per share. The funds received will be used for “corporate needs and working capital needs” Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said the funding will help the company develop a series of lunar landers and begin work on a NASA contract to provide engineering services at Goddard Space Flight Center. Work on the contract, worth approximately $719 million over five years, is expected to begin in the fourth quarter. Intuitive Machines chief financial officer Eric Sully said the company's cash — $39.1 million at the end of the second quarter — along with revenue from the NASA contract and the lunar modules would be sufficient, even with an operating loss of $13.2 million for the quarter. Intuitive Machines has a $50 million credit facility that can be used to provide additional cushion if needed. After announcing a $20 million stock sale, Intuitive Machines said it no longer plans to enter into a credit facility. [caption id="attachment_51397" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lunar module developer[/caption] Lunar module developer Intuitive Machines announced $20 million in stock sales “Based on the timing of payments contingent on the achievement of plans, we have decided to strengthen our financial position,” Sully said in a statement. In the same session with investors, Intuitive Machines said it was withdrawing previously provided revenue and cash balance forecasts. Previous forecasts were based on delays in public procurement schedules and the uncertainty of the US federal budget, not the loss of any particular contract. Intuitive Machines continues to work on its first lunar landing mission. IM-1 is scheduled to launch as early as November 15 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Two additional launches, IM-2 and IM-3, are planned for 2024. All three missions carry payloads for NASA's commercial lunar delivery program. On August 31, the company's share price settled at $4.76, falling 8.3% on the Nasdaq exchange.
