SOYUZ has technically 5 booster stage ENGINES (RD-108 main engine and one RD-107 per each of the 4 strap-on liquid fuel boosters, all LOX/Kerosene), but each engine uses 4 combustion CHAMBERS. The RD-107 has an additional two vernier combustion chambers that can thrust vector in a single plane to supply attitude control. The RD-108 has four of such vernier combustion chambers to supply full vector control to the Blok-A stage.

@cogoid

6 жыл бұрын

Yes. He made a mistake. Twenty seven people have mentioned that already. :) The real question is -- does the number of groups into which the combustion chambers are ganged matter too much, or is it the number of combustion chambers themselves which determines the number of most likely points of failure? If a single combustion chamber fails, it is going to be disastrous for Soyuz. It may or may not be for Falcon, depending on how much collateral damage it causes. If the engine only destroys itself, Falcon-9 can fly with two engines out.

@mrlazda

How Does it Really Work You do know that Soyuz rocket is most reliable rocket in use today, on other hand Falcon 9 is most unreliable rocket in use today. Only rockets named Soyuz (not counting Vostok, Molnia, Voskhod, Sputnik which also belong to R-7 family) had 967 successful launches and 24 failed (and including all R-7 family number of launches is over 1300). On other hand in total of 47 launches Falcon 9 had already one engine failure (and 2 other failures or maybe 3 when we know who fault is for Zuma).

@cogoid

6 жыл бұрын

I love Soyuz. It is a great rocket! It has become so reliable, because it was launched *every week* in some years -- all the bugs were fixed and people became very proficient working with it. But it took time before it became perfected -- in the first three years there had been 15 failed launches out of 37 total launches! *But that is not the point I was discussing.* Even Russian rocket designers argued, and did not know for sure what was better -- to have four chambers in one engine or four complete engines instead. Unless you make it both ways, perfect them, and use them for a length of time it is very difficult to judge, how all the small details would affect the overall result.

@mrlazda

6 жыл бұрын

How Does it Really Work Where you found data that Soyuz rocket had 15 failed launches out of 37 total launches? Soyuz had 2 failed launches out of over 50 first launches. Your data look more like for R-7 ICBM which is same rocket family but not same rocket (different engine versions ...) and it was designed as ICBM not as space rocket (same as Atlas and Titan rockets). Russians always opted for one engine soultion but with multiple chambers, and there is reason why they (Valentin Glushko) used multiple chambers, for one big single combustion chamber it is hard to get it work correct (big combustion chambers suffer from combustion instability, which is problem hard to solve, for example F-1 engine had grat problems with comustion instability and it was at end "solved" by try end error method). They try solution with lot of small engines (N1 rocket) and they discovered it is hard to control them and it never had success so at end they go back to one big engine with multiple chambers which ended in production of RD-170 engine, which with it derivatives is most widely used rocket engine in world by most number of nations and on greatest number of different rockets (dual-chamber derivative RD-180 is most reliable and efficient LOX/RP-1 engine USA use today)

@cogoid

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, you are absolutely right -- I was talking about R-7 because that was the beginning of the continuous line of development of this family of rockets. Today's Falcon 9 and its engine is also very different from the first hardware they used -- so in both cases there has been significant development. The discussion about separate engines vs engines with multiple chambers, took place during development of the engines for the "Energia" rocket. (the text is in Russian) www . buran . ru / htm / 07-3 . htm It says that initially engine designers could not make the turbopump for RD-170 to work reliably, and considered an alternative of splitting the engine, such that every chamber would have its own turbopump. (The same document says that by this time the engines NK-33 from the moon rocket were perfected to the point that they worked reliably with durability sufficient for 10 flights. So there was nothing fundamentally wrong with them -- except the original moon project was not given sufficient time.)
