The old man is the happiest for many people, and for Logino Loginsky, his child is the spiral! When he was in his fifties, he began to devote himself to the study of the Spiral, and after several ups and downs, he was stopped again when he was finally about to enter the fast lane of development. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even so, Logino still doesn't want the Screw to disappear, he wants to make the Screw reborn in another way!

Therefore, when the Buran was designed, he was constantly making ideas, how could the "Spiral" be reborn with the help of the development of the "Buran"? It's better to let the Buran be called the carrier of the Spiral!

More than a decade ago, the famous Spiral program consisted of two parts: a hypersonic mother engine and a military spacecraft. The hypersonic mother aircraft carries a military spacecraft on its back, and when it takes off, with the help of a sports car, at a speed of 380 to 400 kilometers per hour, this whole detachment from the sports car and flies into the air. After that, the hypersonic mother engine exerts its power, and when the sprint reaches a predetermined speed and altitude, the military spacecraft breaks away from the mother engine and flies to orbit.

Among them, the hypersonic carrier aircraft was developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau, which needed to fly to a speed of Mach six and an altitude of 24 to 30 kilometers with a load of ten tons.

The military spacecraft is in charge of Logino, which is a single-seat winged combat vehicle that can be installed with different mission modules to perform daytime photo reconnaissance, radar reconnaissance, interception of space targets and other tasks, of which the reconnaissance model carries 500 kg of combat load and the interception model carries 2000 kg of combat load. Depending on the direction and inclination, the orbital altitude of the military spacecraft varies from 130 to 1350 kilometers. Complete the mission within two or three circles of the flight, then land, and maneuver with the engines on the ship.

And now, this project has been terminated, and Logino thought to himself, simply using the space shuttle as its carrier aircraft! With a special revolver-style arrangement, it was possible to fit five into the cargo hold of the space shuttle! In this way, a Buran will become a space carrier! With five fighters! Because the height and speed of the space shuttle far exceed the carrier aircraft of the original Tupolev Design Bureau, then correspondingly, these fighters have better combat resilience!

It would be great if this plan could be implemented! It's just that now the Buran's mission plan will be a huge plan, and it is estimated that tens of billions of rubles will be used, at this time, Logino really didn't dare to throw out his plan to the upper echelons, and now, it just so happened that General Andrei came to inspect, this person, but General Secretary Andropov's cronies, simply pretended to be accidentally exposed, to see this person's reaction, if this person is not interested, then he has nothing to lose, if this person is very interested in this plan, Then your ideal can be realized!

And now, seeing the other party's reaction, Logino knows that he has pressed the right one! General Andrei was very interested!

"I'm sorry, it's just my own interest, I just drew this picture, I'm very sorry, we don't have this plan in our project." Logino said.

"That's a good plan." Andrei spoke up: "However, this plan must be carried out in secret, and it is not necessary for too many people to participate, just find a newcomer who has just joined the work, make the plan in detail, and send it to Marshal Ogarkov." ”

To Marshal Ogarkov? Do you want a newcomer who has just joined the job to make plans? Luo Jinuo was puzzled for a moment, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was in Andre's gourd.

"Be careful, be sure to keep it secret." Andrei continued: "This, you know. ”

Know? What do you know? Although Logino still hasn't understood, he also knows that this matter has passed like this, and there can be no new progress in a short period of time.

"The plan says so much, is there a ready-made one?" Andre asked, looking at the slides, his brain was dizzy.

"Yes, we are now in the process of trial production of the prototype, and the first testing machine of the OK-1K1 model for ground tests has been completed and is currently receiving the installation of equipment." "We plan to build five identical test planes to test our technology, and when it's complete, we'll build a full-fledged space shuttle that can fly, and if things go well, we should be able to build the first Buran space shuttle in '85," Logino said. ”

In later generations, there were far more Burans than one, some were brought to museums, some were crushed by the warehouse, in fact, these included those test machines.

"Okay, then let's go see the testing machine." Andrei said.

"Our Buran was designed to be used more than 100 times, capable of delivering 30 tons of payload into Earth orbit at an altitude of 200 kilometers and an inclination of 50.7 degrees, with a standard crew of four, including one co-pilot, and two astronauts engaged in extravehicular activities and other areas of research. Compared to the American space shuttle, we have a smaller number of personnel, but our experience with the Soyuz shows that a group of three people can accomplish a lot of tasks, four people are enough, no matter how many are completely unnecessary, and moreover, with a small number of members, there will be more transport loads. Logino said as he looked at the testing machine being assembled.

"By the way, are we fully equipped with life-saving equipment?" Andrei asked. The U.S. space shuttle, because of the lack of life-saving methods, so the Challenger exploded a few seconds after liftoff, and no one survived.

"We are equipped with the K-36RS ejection seat produced by the Xingchen Scientific Research and Development Production Enterprise, which is an improved version of the K-36, which can eject astronauts in the event of an accident during launch." Logino said.

Hearing Andre was stunned for a while, so awesome, he also used the ejection seat! However, Andre also knows that this Xingchen company is an old aerospace company, for example, all the spacesuits are developed by this company, and there are flight suits, ejection seats, in-flight refueling equipment, etc., the business field is quite extensive, especially the K-36 seat, which resounds all over the world. It has been unveiled at several air shows, showing the outstanding performance of this seat.

Looking at the busy work of the engineers, Andrei excitedly asked to take a photo with the space shuttle. (To be continued.) )
