Angara is supposed to be Russia’s first purely domestic rocket, the rockets developed under the Soviet Union all depended on states other than Russia. Angara was supposed to be a modular design which could scale up to a range of payloads using common Universal Rocket Modules. Except that it’s taken almost 25 years to get to a 3rd launch, and we’re not even sure if there’s a payload on it. Comments are closed.
2:00 KSP! 😁
Nice to see Russia stealing my KSP early to mid game rocket like this… How do I do a copyright take down?
edit. fixed.
Great vid on a pretty unknown rocket
Me encantan tus videos aunque no los entienda mucho sigues asi Scott xd
and here i though the normal american space companies where slow…
So “Proton 1” then… The “1” to differentiate it from Proton.
3:00 “Hot Fire” You don’t say?
Also, has any country ever used cross feeding? If we could actually do that it would be amazing…
Now they need to invent proton packs like ghostbusters.
Водород (hydrogen) you almost got it )) and you know me too hope it won’t take 6 years to build that version )))
I was fascinated by that for a pretty long time! Thanks for making a video about it)
And everyone says that Starship has many variants
😂😂
At this rate the venerable Proton’s future is assured for years (maybe decades!) to come.
Can you please do a video on expedition 7 of the ISS?
Last time I was this early Angara actually flew
Absolutely, водород is hydrogen. And you nailed it.
Anglicized codename for the Angara: Kerbalkskaya Raketa
Launches looks awesome but when it ends in the graveyard-orbit, that is sad to listen
Angara PeePee ppfffftthhhhh
9:38 Bulgarian*
This is one of the most Russian rockets I have ever seen
Damn! Angara is my surname! 😅
heard your name mentioned last night on LabPadre
keep up the good work, always interesting subjects.
Then there’s the minor issue that it costs too much, since none of it is reusable.
When you have someone like Elon Musk working around the clock to put you out of business you don’t go on a six year vacation.
Actually, your pronouncation of Vodorod, which is indeed Hydrogen, was pretty good.
Great Scott! Nice coverages. Soon they wont be needed anyway
9:34 водород!
Coincidentally, Angara means ember in Hindi.. 😀
2:22 Core’s or did you mean boosters? o_O
3:09 Surely it’s 200 KILO-tonnes of thrust?
wow angar(अंगार) means fire in hindi and the rocket is literally spewing out fire
Hydrogen in Russian is водород (vodorod when Romanized).
Still woefully outdated by the Falcons.
1:47 excellent selection of games 👍
0:33 energia actually means energy
Their rocket is called “PP”, it’s hilarious!
Looks like a very cool rocket, let’s hope it flies again!
Hidro-gen and водо-род is actually rather directly translated..
I would like to see a SSTO, combined with an nuclear powered ferry that ferries stuff from LEO to GeoStat, Lunar or even interplanetary trajectories. Stick a wee mass driver on the moon and a permanent base in Lunar orbit, to send up water ice, and fuel costs will drop dramatically.
You pronounced ‘vodorod’ absolutely perfect, like being a native speaker! Kudos!
Fun fact: “Rockot” is not misspelled “Rocket” (as someone might think:)), it’s a Russian word meaning “powerful loud noise”.
That’s a nice looking launch at 7:00 flying into clouds.
I can’t wait for it, I wonder if they use Angara instead of the Yenisei🤔
I see you lunched the Angara in kerbal space program, did you use any mods for it? If so, please link me them!
I’m glad you’re doing a video about this rocket
1:51 I think the Russians are looking at my KSP save files…
i can’t believe any of these rockets didn’t make it into your ‘ugliest rockets’ video
hWich! I keep imagining Bruce Lee hitting someone when I hear this.
Hey, Scott.
Have you heard (i guess you have) about russian nuclear space tug? I want a video from you about that thing )
This thing made me imagine a “Falcon 7×9” (like 3×9 Falcon Heavy), would be quite the beast…
That Angara 7 version is the personification of “Moar Boosters!”
Yes, vodorod is actually russian name of hydrogen.
That website. Such 2000’s Energy.
“Angara” Means *burning charcoal* in *Hindi*
Hey, Scott! I’ve seen soyuz model in one of your videos lately. Can you tell where I can get one of those? tnx
You nailed vodorod pronunciation, btw
1:52 seems like my first mission to the Mun in KSP.
3:02 Hot Fire
…you don’t say
2:00 Russians are indeed kerbals in disguise….. perhaps the other way around
So now you know the secret of the modern Russian space program: it’s being run as a real world version of the Kerbal Space Program.
Protracted development – the true curse for any invention in an age of rapidly progressing technologies. Something conceived as cutting-edge can be obsolescent by the time it’s ready for market.
3:55 An it’s me, Dio moment when the fairing open to show just a fuel tank
You pronounce “Vodorod” (Hydrogen) correctly.
Hello from Russia)))
Man, the Russians are really having trouble letting go of the idea of a Universal Rocket. They’re building a Universal Rocket Module to replace the Universal Rocket-500.
Moscow: Billion dollar subsidy for a manned moon rocket.
Russians: get a dummy payload to GEO.
9:33 – You were right “vodoród” (stress on the last syllable).
They promised it since 2013 and now they are finally realizing it? I was waiting a lot. Now I’m satisfied.
The problem with Russian industries is not the tech or engineers but poor planning by the top guy
That was a pretty cool booster separation.
Not quite as balletic as the Soyuz’ Korolyev Cross, but close.
1:08 Damn! Imagine you’re up in space, and one day you get a call telling you your country is no more and you may or may not be able to get home. : (
the russians will just send up a spy sat if nobody buys the test run.
Ah, those russians… they play KSP in real life
Good morning nerds.
TBH, developing an expendable rocket now really just seems pointless.
This is excellent timing. Your Proton video popped up again for me a few days ago, I watched it then was disappointed when you didn’t have one on the Angara. But here we are! Thanks for all the great content.
I’d like to tell Russia didn’t build HydroLox second stage for India. They tested it because back then India didn’t had own testing fecility.
This just reminded me to rewatch ‘The Engines That Came In From The Cold’
video about soyuz 5 in the making?
And still the soyuz outlives it
5:34 Great name for a rocket.
Russian design aesthetics are so beautifully unique
1:55 this is the most Kerbal thing I’ve seen in a while
I was in a bad mood until I saw Scott uploaded!
9:40 You are right, it is a Russian word for Hydrogen. And your pronounciation is all right, except that the stress goes on the last “o”.
Last time I was this early Mir was still in orbit.
“Angara” is a big river in Siberia….
I miss Energia.
The Saturn V is missing in the background! :O
I really appreciate the frequency of your videos these days!
No, actually “водород” came out pretty good!
Actually, you pronounced “vodorod” pretty good.
AFAIK, the production delays were due to reorganization rather than any problems with the rocket or its production itself. Given the mess in the Russian space industry with its strategic view, project consistency, and quality control, which resulted in failures when launching perfectly tested long-serving rockets, getting things back in order was a priority over faster Angara adoption.
As you pointed out, Angara is about guaranteed independent access to space for Russia. The rocket is essentially ready to use, it’s just that there are no tasks and payloads that can be easily switched from Soyuz and Proton.
I expect it to gradually increase its role in the Russian national space program, especially when Angara launchpad will enter service at Vostochniy, but not expect it to be a mass commercial working horse.
It’s nice to see that Russia has a Mir of the SLS program; difficulties and all.
5:35 Haha, he said “PP”
sorry, im tired today…
I’m sure someone’s got an old Lada they could use instead of a dummy payload. Sending cars into space is _traditional_ now, dammit.
“On all three flights, the first stage was said to have worked correctly.”
*image of a rocket wobbling its way into the sky*
Since you mentioned it, we now need a Soyuz-5 video.
When I was serving in Plesetsk 10 years ago (nowhere near Angara though), it was already called “A very promising project since 1984”
Russian word for hydrogen is indeed vodorod, and Scott’s pronunciation was on point.
“All very practical, and all very Kerbal”. Ahh, KSP, the measure of all things.
There’s nothing like grabbing some food, sitting down to find something to watch while you eat and see Scott Manley just uploaded a video.
