They provide for the simulation of the power effect of the RD-171MV oxygen-kerosene rocket engine on the tank design during firing bench tests

MOSCOW, February 18. /tass/. The Progress Rocket and Space Center (RCC) has sent a fuel tank (tank "G") of the first-stage bench unit of the promising Soyuz-5 launch vehicle for testing to TsNIIMash. This is stated in the message of Roscosmos, distributed on Friday.

"On Friday, February 18, 2022, a fuel tank (tank "G") of the first stage of the Soyuz-5 carrier rocket was sent from the Progress Rocket and Space Center to the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (TsNIIMash, part of the Roscosmos State Corporation) for static tests," the message reads.

Strength tests at the experimental base of the TsNIIMash Strength Center provides for the simulation of the force effect of the RD-171MV oxygen-kerosene rocket engine on the tank structure during firing bench tests.

The Soyuz-5 launch vehicle is being developed for the Russian-Kazakh Baiterek project. In 2018, a protocol was signed on amendments to the agreement of the governments of Kazakhstan and Russia on the creation of the Baiterek complex on Baikonur dated December 22, 2004. It defines the obligations of the parties under the project, the withdrawal from lease and the transfer to the Kazakh side of the objects of the ground-based space infrastructure of the Zenit-M complex for modernization.

Kazakhstan is responsible for the creation of ground infrastructure through the modernization of the Zenit-M KRK. Russia is developing a Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, which is planned to be launched from there. The first launch is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023. The launch complex will be named "Nazarbayev Start".
