Energomash modernizes engines test stand for Soyuz-5 missile

SCIENTIFIC AND PRODUCTION Association “Energomash” named after academician V. P. Glushko (part of the state corporation “Roscosmos”) is preparing for comprehensive tests of a new information and measuring system on the stand of fire tests No. 1. It is intended to improve the quality of fire testing Liquid rocket engines RD-171MV.

The new system will allow you to automate the processes of collecting, storing and processing information about the parameters of the test engines, the parameters of the stand on the preparation and fire test steps.

“The system created allows you to register several hundred parameters. It is built using the latest equipment with high technical and metrological characteristics,” said Igor Watermelov, General Director of NGO Energomash. – This will increase the accuracy and quality of the registered parameters when conducting fire tests of the RD- engines 171mv for their further quality analysis by engineers-designers. “

The information and measuring system introduced under the program of modernization of the stand base of the scientific and test complex NGO Energomash will replace the morally obsolete measuring complex of slow-meaning parameters, a system of measurement system of rapid parameters. The contractor performs Proton-PM (enters the integrated structure of NGO Energomash State Corporation Roscosmos).

has already completed stages of design work, manufacturing, installation of a system and commissioning work at the fire test stand No. 1. Now the system is currently in the stage of entry into experimental operation, measures are carried out on metrological certification, making it in the state register of measurement funds. After that, comprehensive tests of the new information and measuring system will be held.
