Crash rocket “Proton” in 2013 occurred due to improper installation of angular velocity sensors. This is the basic version of the Investigative Committee. Guilty named three employees of the Center Khrunichev and one representative of the Ministry of Defense. What exactly accuse each?
Frames live from Kazakhstan 2 июля 2013th remembered all: the start, the rocket takes off, leans, begins like a dance in the air. And here it is – the leading sacramental phrase: “But something seems to have gone wrong.” “Proton-M” broke straight into the flight, crashed to the ground and exploded.
“Something went wrong” – since the media began to quote the phrase whenever we’re having are any problem in space. But, alas, lacks. And the reason, as it turns out – the human factor. Moreover, during assembly. The fact that the “Proton-M” with three satellites GLONASS described then crash arc and crashed to blame specific individuals, employees Research and Production Space Center Khrunichev – electrician special products Denis Grishin, Master Alexander Nikolaev and Diana controller Gudkov. They were charged with “violation of safety regulations during other work”.
“Grishin, Nikolaev, Gudkov engaged in 2011, installing a rocket” Proton “angular rate sensors to yaw channel. As a result, violations of technological discipline These sensors have been installed properly, 180 degrees from full-time position, “- said the official representative of IC Vladimir Markin.
That is, the velocity sensors are installed upside down. Wow inaccuracy. And it is in the construction of the spacecraft, where everything must be tailored to the micron. “There is not only the observance of technology, but also an important responsibility. They must understand that the case, which involved – very expensive, it defenses, prestige and economy of the country”, – said editor of “Space News” Igor Afanasyev.
Still charged with negligence Chief Military Defense Ministry representative Marat Nasibullin. According to investigators, he decided not to involve representation to control operations. “Criminal liability of these persons due to the fact that their actions are a direct causal connection of consequences. It Grishin and Nikolayev poorly executed work and created the conditions for an accident. But Gudkov Nasibullin and, in fact, is the final link in this process, “- said Markin.
” Proton-M “, which is May 16, 2015 was put into orbit the Mexican satellite communications, but instead fell on the territory of Trans-Baikal Territory, also collected in the Center Khrunichev . Possible cause – the failure of the third stage engine booster. In addition to the objective of damage now also have to move the Russian launches of satellites in two to three months.
The fact that the Khrunichev Center is not enough young staff and money there spinning big, already now it is clear to all. The company has identified cases of fraud, embezzlement and abuse of power, has already instituted criminal proceedings. A special commission is investigating the cause of the latest crash “Proton-M”. There is information that the results will be in the coming days. As well as about the crash space truck “Progress” on April 28. There, too, according to preliminary data, the case in the third stage of the launch vehicle.
Failed undocking, “Progress” spun on its axis, could not approach the ISS and eventually burned in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. Already have the information, citing a source in the space industry, found that fifty deviations from the design documentation for manufacture and media, and the ship.
The risks of sending crews to the ISS have not increased. But the astronauts need to carry food, water and equipment. Stocks, of course, is, and so, when not reached “Progress”, there were no emergency situations, but it’s still a case of emergency. Problems arise in space, because the world is not all right. No wonder the Khrunichev Center – a serious test. To the next time everything went as it should.
