Northrop Grumman Teams with Firefly Aerospace to Develop Antares Rocket Upgrade and New Medium Launch Vehicle

August 08, 2022 Space, Rocket
CHANDLER, Ariz. – Aug. 8, 2022 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) and Firefly Aerospace have joined forces to provide an American-built first-stage upgrade for the Antares rocket and a new medium launch vehicle to serve commercial, civil and national security space launch markets.

"Through our collaboration, we will first develop a fully domestic version of our Antares rocket, the Antares 330, for Cygnus space station commercial resupply services, followed by an entirely new medium class launch vehicle," said Scott Lehr, vice president and general manager, launch and missile defense systems, Northrop Grumman. "Northrop Grumman and Firefly have been working on a combined strategy and technical development plan to meet current and future launch requirements."

Firefly's propulsion technology utilizes the same propellants as the current Antares rocket, which minimizes launch site upgrades. The Antares 330 will utilize seven of Firefly's Miranda engines and leverage its composites technology for the first stage structures and tanks, while Northrop Grumman provides its proven avionics and software, upper-stage structures and Castor 30XL motor, as well as proven vehicle integration and launch pad operations. This new stage will also significantly increase Antares mass to orbit capability.

"Firefly prides itself on being a disrupter in the new space industry and collaborating with a proven space pioneer like Northrop Grumman will help us continue that disruption," said Peter Schumacher, interim CEO, Firefly.

The Antares 330 performance upgrade will enable Northrop Grumman to continue to support the company's current contracts while planning for future mission capabilities.

Firefly Aerospace is an emerging end-to-end space transportation company focused on developing a family of launch vehicles, in-space vehicles, and services to provide industry-leading affordability, convenience, and reliability to its government and commercial customers. Firefly's launch vehicles, combined with their in-space vehicles, such as the Space Utility Vehicle (SUV) and Blue Ghost Lunar Lander, provide the space industry with a single source for missions from LEO to the surface of the Moon and beyond.

Цитата: Arzach от 09.08.2022 00:10:11Судя по всему, запуск Cygnus NG-18 (осенью) или NG-19 (следующей весной) будет последним на текущей версии РН Antares:

Цитата: undefinedИрен Клотц (старший редактор космического направления в Aviation Week): Northrop Grumman приобрела у SpaceX три запуска Falcon 9 для доставки грузовых кораблей Cygnus на МКС, чтобы заполнить пробел между последней ракетой Antares с российскими двигателями (начало-середина 23 года) и первым запуском новой РН Antares в конце 2024 года с двигателями производства Firefly Space.
А также от неё же ранее:
Цитата: undefinedNorthrop объединится с Firefly для разработки новой первой ступени для ракеты Antares, решив проблему, вызванную невозможностью получить российские ракетные двигатели. Антарес выполняет грузовые миссии NASA Cygnus на МКС.

Цитата: undefinedNorthrop сообщает, что новый Antares планируется запустить в конце 2024-го года - более чем через 1,5 года после запуска последнего Antares с российскими двигателями РД-181. Чтобы восполнить этот пробел, NG ищет других поставщиков для запуска неопределенного количества грузовых кораблей Cygnus на МКС (по словам Курта Эберли из NG для AviationWeek).

Цитата: undefinedКроме того, с американскими двигателями Antares и/или последующая, пока еще неназванная ракета-носитель среднего класса могут претендовать на миссии в интересах Минобороны США, если предстоящий 3-й этап конкурса Космических сил США будет организован для рассмотрения заявок от претендентов, которые могут взять на себя часть запусков в интересах национальной безопасности.

The new version of the Antares, called the Antares 330, will feature a first stage using seven Miranda engines under development by Firefly. The stage will also use Firefly composites for its structure and tanks.

The Antares 330 upper stage will be similar to what Northrop is currently using on the Antares, with the company's Castor 30XL solid-fuel motor and existing avionics and structures. The vehicle is designed to launch from the current pad at Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport that has hosted all previous Antares launches.

"Through our collaboration, we will first develop a fully domestic version of our Antares rocket, the Antares 330, for Cygnus space station commercial resupply services," Scott Lehr, vice president and general manager of launch missile defense systems at Northrop, said in a statement.

The partnership would solve Northrop's current reliance on Ukrainian and Russian suppliers for the Antares first stage that put the future of the vehicle, used for launching Cygnus cargo missions to the International Space Station, in doubt. Ukraine's Yuzhnoye State Design Office and Yuzhmash Machine Building plant produces the Antares first stage, which is powered by RD-181 engines from Russia's NPO Energomash.

The supply of both the engines and the first stage has been in doubt since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February. Northrop officials noted they have completed first stages for two more Antares launches, the first of which is scheduled for October, and that the company was working on options should either the stage or the engines become unavailable. Those executives, though, had declined to go into details about those backup plans before the Firefly partnership announcement.

The two companies provided few other details about their partnership, including financial aspects. Northrop Grumman's Scott Day told SpaceNews that the company expects the Antares 330 to be ready as soon as 2024. To cover the gap between the last launch of the current Antares and the new version, Northrop is buying three SpaceX Falcon 9 launches for its Cygnus spacecraft.

The companies said the Antares 330 will "significantly increase" the vehicle's payload capacity compared to the existing Antares. Day said the Antares 330 will be able to place up to 10,500 kilograms into the insertion orbit sued for ISS missions, compared to 8,100 kilograms for the current Antares. He said that performance would translate into an additional 1,250 kilograms of cargo that Cygnus could deliver to the ISS, to 5,000 kilograms.

The companies also said the partnership would lead to the development of a separate "entirely new" medium-lift launch vehicle, details of which the companies did not disclose. Firefly is working on its own medium-lift vehicle, called Beta, whose first stage will also incorporate the Miranda engine. That engine, which uses liquid oxygen and kerosene propellants, is designed to produce about 230,000 pounds-force of thrust. Eberly said that new vehicle is projected to make its first launch as soon as 2025.

Beta снова "обновилась": https://firefly.com/beta/
Новая ракета всё ближе к Зениту и Ф9. Новые двигатели, скорее всего, открытая схема (в предыдущей итерации были "Риверы" на основе днепровского РД-801).

Ракета-носитель Antares совершила свой последний запуск, отправив груз на Международную космическую станцию
Джош Диннер, SPACE.COM

Это конец ракеты Antares в том виде, в котором мы ее знаем.
Во вторник (1 августа) к Международной космической станции стартовала ракета-носитель Antares, что стало последним полетом этого аппарата в том виде, в котором мы его знаем.
...
Ракета-носитель Antares компании Northrop Grumman с грузовым кораблем Cygnus NG-19 для НАСА стартовала к Международной космической станции с площадки Wallops Flight Facility на острове Уоллопс, штат Вирджиния, 1 августа 2023 года.
...
Сегодняшний запуск стал последним для нынешней версии ракеты Antares компании Northrop Grumman - серии Antares 230. Поставки ракеты Antares, в которых использовались первые ступени украинского производства и российские ракетные двигатели, были прерваны с началом <...>.
В ответ на это компания Northrop Grumman объявила о заключении соглашения с американской компанией Firefly Aerospace на изготовление двигателей и новой первой ступени для модернизированной ракеты Antares 330-й серии, запуск которой ожидался во второй половине следующего года. Однако на предпусковой пресс-конференции 30 июля директор по программам космических запусков компании Northrop Grumman Курт Эберли сообщил, что компания вынуждена пересмотреть эти сроки.
По словам Эберли, компания Northrop Grumman "надеялась на конец 24-го года", но ожидания изменились. По словам Эберли, модернизированный Antares "будет оснащен новой первой ступенью и существующей верхней ступенью, что позволит нам вернуться к полетам летом 2025 года". Первым запуском Antares 330 станет миссия NG-23.
...
Поскольку серия Antares 300 еще не введена в эксплуатацию, компания Northrop Grumman заключила контракт с компанией SpaceX на полет следующих нескольких грузовых космических кораблей Cygnus на ракете Falcon 9. Двадцатый полет грузового корабля NG-20 запланирован на ноябрь этого года.

Antares rocket makes its final launch, sending cargo to the International Space Station
By Josh Dinner, SPACE.COM
This is the end of the Antares rocket as we know it.
An Antares rocket launched to the International Space Station Tuesday (Aug. 1), marking the final flight for this vehicle as we know it.
The 19th commercial resupply service mission from Northrop Grumman (NG-19) lifted off at 8:31 p.m. EDT (0031 GMT on Aug. 2) from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility carrying a batch of cargo, provisions and science experiments to the International Space Station (ISS). This is the final flight for this particular model of Antares rocket, which is set to be replaced with a newer version sometime next year.
Around 8 minutes into the flight, a Cygnus spacecraft separated from Antares' second stage containing over 8,200 pounds (3,700 kilograms) of cargo for the current ISS crew. That spacecraft is set to arrive at the ISS on Friday (Aug. 4) at 5:54 a.m (0954 GMT). You can watch the docking live here beginning at 4:30 a.m. ET (0930 GMT) courtesy of NASA TV.

Continuing their tradition of naming Cygnus vehicles for influential individuals in spaceflight, the NG-19 Cygnus was christened the SS Laurel Clark, for the fallen space shuttle Columbia astronaut. Once on orbit, the SS Laurel Clark will spend about 2.5 days catching up to the ISS.
Tonight's launch marks the last for the current version of Northrop Grumman's Antares rocket, the Antares 230 series. Supply lines for Antares, which relied on Ukrainian-built first stages and Russian rocket engines, were disrupted at the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022.
In response, Northrop Grumman announced an agreement with U.S. company Firefly Aerospace to manufacture engines and a new first stage for an upgraded Antares 330 series rocket, which was expected to launch in the latter half of next year. However, in a pre-launch press conference July 30, Northrop Grumman director of space launch programs Kurt Eberly indicated the company has had reassess that timeline.
Eberly says Northrop Grumman was, "hoping for the end of '24," but that expectation has shifted. According to Eberly, the upgraded Antares, "is going to feature a new first stage and the existing upper stack that'll get us back flying in the Summer 2025." Antares 330's first launch will be the NG-23 mission.
Aboard, the SS Laurel Clark will carry more than 20 research investigations, equipment and foodstuffs to replenish supplies for the space station's current and upcoming crews. The ISS National Laboratory, which manages public research on the space station, has sponsored more than 20 experiments flying on NG-19.
Research headed to the ISS includes several material science and technology demonstrations to test Earth-monitoring sensors, space antenna upgrades and material science investigations, as well as nearly half a dozen human health-focused biological investigations. These will study therapies for cardiovascular regenerative techniques, neurological and genetic disorders and degenerative retinal diseases. A full list of highlights is available on the ISS National Lab website.
NASA published its own list of notable research aboard NG-19, which includes the sixth and final flammability experiment from NASA's Glenn Research Center. Saffire-VI is a part of a series of demonstrations with the goal of understanding how fire behaves in space. The automated experiment won't take place until near the end of the NG-19 mission, after the Cygnus spacecraft has undocked from the ISS and entered an independent orbit. There, Saffire-VI will initiate a sequence of burns at differing oxygen levels, which scientists will observe remotely.
"This work has already changed our understanding of material flammability in low gravity and demonstrated that just as on Earth, smoke from a fire represents the most immediate hazard to the crew," Saffire principal investigator David Urban said in a NASA release.
A new planetary observation probe is headed to the ISS is called the Multi Needle Langmuir Probe (m-NLP). This sensor, from the European Space Agency (ESA), will be attached to the exterior of the station, on the Columbus module's Bartolomeo Platform. The m-NLP features six pointy, protruding probe antenna used to scan plasma densities in Earth's ionosphere, which have deleterious affects on GPS and other satellite-based navigation systems.
Another piece of hardware aboard the SS Laurel Clark is a new potable water dispenser (PWD). Dubbed Exploration PWD, the station's new drinking fountain is replacing one that launched in 2008. Exploration PWD can be operated remotely, and features a host of other upgrades compared to its predecessor. It has the ability to self-monitor the status of its various systems, uses "advanced water sanitization and microbial growth reduction methods," according to the NASA statement, and is capable of dispensing hot water. 
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) as has cargo flying as part of the NG-19 mission. As part of an educational outreach program, JAXA has included a hard drive containing digital artwork from over 13,000 students across 74 schools. A similar mission, the STORIES of Space Project (Story SD Card Testing and On-Board Research on the International Space Station Experiment and Survey), will deliver more than 300 written stories stored on SD-cards, with the goal of engaging space enthusiasts with space exploration. STORIES will also measure the effects of memory degradation due to the effects of radiation on those SD-cards.
In a statement, STORIES of Space Project creator Beth Mund said, "the STORIES of Space project engages a growing community of space exploration ambassadors – people who may never train to be an astronaut or travel to space, but space enthusiasts who want to be a part of the discovery and advancements in space."
NASA coverage for Cygnus' rendezvous with the ISS will begin at 4:30 a.m. EDT (0830 GMT), Friday, August 4. Using the space station's robot arm, NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg will capture Cygnus for berthing at the Unity module's nadir (Earth-facing) port, around 7:30 a.m. EDT (1130 GMT). Cygnus will remain at the station until October, after which it will be loaded with station refuse and released for repositioning into a decaying orbit, where it will eventually burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
With the Antares 300 series not yet operational, Northrop Grumman has contracted SpaceX to fly the next few Cygnus cargo spacecraft aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. Grumman's twentieth resupply mission, NG-20, is slated for sometime this November.
