Marverlous video as always! A couple of extra facts: 1) When the rocket lifts off and the four support arms retract, they don't do so under any power. The rocket simply sits on top of them unretained, and when the engines are producing enough thrust it starts rising. The arms then retract thanks to the yellow counterweights, whose weight is no longer balanced by that of the rocket. It's all gravity-driven! 2) When the boosters separate they form the Korolёv Cross, which is unique to this rocket. This is because the chief designer (Sergei Korolёv) of the rocket wanted to minimize the number of explosive bolts required for the separation, all the way back in the 1950's. Shortly before the fuel of the booster runs out, the bottom attachment points are cut. The boosters are now allowed to swing about a pivot at their very top, because the engines are still running and producing off-axis thrust. When the boosters have reached a sufficient angle, the pivots are released and a valve opens at the top of each booster. This valve vents the gaseous oxygen still present inside the tanks, which produces a thrust that makes the boosters spin in the opposide direction and away from the rocket. A real work of art

[@strongcool]

Thanks

[@jairoel]

Good there's people like you, is really useful to have an extra information.

[@jm56585]

Another thing that I find really interesting is that the launch escape system on the Soyuz destroyed the rocket on it's first (uncrewed) launch by firing because it thought it was "too tilted". What actually happened was that the launch was delayed, meaning the earth rotated during the time, making the LES think it was tilted. (7k-ok-1) The Soyuz was also a spacecraft first designed to go to the moon, just like the Apollo of the US. It was supposed to launch on a rocket called the N-1, which had a very awesome (30) amount of engines. It was sadly cancelled due to being outcompeted by the US, and the fact that the godly amount of engines were simply too much for an computer in the 1960s to handle, causing 4 failures. The Soyuz rocket is also a massive evolution of the rocket that took the first man into space, the Vostok. If you search online for photos, you'll be amazed at how similiar the overall design of the rocket is.

[@antonkruglyakov2109]

To add to that, if I remember it correctly from our lectures: 3) In case of failure on a return leg, Souz is designed to survive even that. If the descent module fails to separate, joints are designed to "burn through" by heated plasma and release the descent module. There were multiple cases through Soyuz explotation when it happened which caused Soyuz to switch from "controlled" to "ballistic" descent, which is another safety feature. 4) In case of any failure with de-orbit thrusters or at any deorbiting steps, Soyuz can switch from "controlled" descent to "ballistic" mode. There is a safety design in the form and mass distribution of the capsule itself. The form and center of gravity are designed so that oncoming air will flip the vehicle head-shield first even if deorbit or separation have failed. And the mass distribution makes the vehicle deliberately a lit bit of balance, what causes it to spin, what makes "ballistic" re-entry more stable. On the downside, it significantly adds G-load, which can be up to 9g on ballistic re-entry.

and one more thing, the whole rocket is still made of straight (flat) slot screws.

There is also a very interesting ceremony for everyone who travels to space via Russian space ports and space agencies. They are gathered in front of a very special "space travel" book before the flight and their names are entered into this very special register. This book was started by Gagarin, the first human who flew into space providing a continuous historic record since then. The register is kept in the Star City.

There are several more informal space rituals. When Gagarin drove up to the rocket on the bus, he wanted to take a piss out of excitement. There is nowhere to hide in the desert, and he did it on the back wheel of the bus.

Dear Jared: I keep loving your videos and I'm amazed by the improving quality of each release. Thank you very much for your work.

[@gnualmafuerte]

Awesome video! Just a little commentary for comparison with other rockets: The Russians use a different stage numbering system than the rest of the world. In the US, the Soyuz would be considered a 2 or 2.5 stage rocket. The boosters aren't counted as a stage separate from the core because they all fire at the same time. So the core is considered the first stage, the upper stage is the 2nd stage, and the boosters are boosters, sometimes considered a half stage, so 2 or 2.5 stages under that criteria, not 3. The Space Shuttle, for example, was considered a 1.5 stage rocket in the US, the main stage and a half stage for the boosters. Meanwhile, the Russians would've considered it a 2 stage rocket (that's how they counted the Buran). So, what the Russians call 3rd stage MECO would've been called SECO in the US. Another detail, you mention that the LES has saved lives a few more times, which is correct, but not on flight. The launch you mentioned, MS-10, was actually the very first time a LES had actually activated with astronauts in flight ever, not just on Soyuz but on any spacecraft. Besides that, the LES had only been used on Soyuz twice before, on one occasion, fire on the rocket, LES activated, and one after a rocket launch aborted, and while the rocket was being safed, the third stage pyros activated, killing a pad worker and setting off the LES.

[@cicerocivalecar7601]

The Soyus is a beautiful rocket on the world.

[@Thillith]

Actually you are wrong, MS-10 didn't use the LES. LES is jettisoned few seconds before the boosters. So by the time that one booster failed to separate LES was already gone. At that point Soyuz spacecraft leaves the rocket using inertia and not an LES.

[@gnualmafuerte]

@@Thillith No, you are wrong. The Soyuz LES is not composed of just the tower. All the way up to booster separation, Soyuz would use the LES tower. After the tower is jettisoned, it retains a smaller part of the LES, composed of 4 RDG motors that are hidden in the fairing. The two stages that are blowing up right below you have just as much inertia as your capsule, and you don't want to hang out there for the explosion. The RDGs have less thrust and overall delta-v than the tower, but that isn't necessary at that point. The tower is needed before precisely because the boosters offer a lot of thrust, and the RDGs alone wouldn't be enough to pull away the capsule fast and far enough. MS-10 was pulled away by the LES, specifically by the RDGs.

Questions: 1) what are those red cone engine nozzle inserts protecting against? 2) At what velocity is the craft going when it actually hits the ground?

[@basis5763]

answer for q1 is probably other oxidizing gasses and dust

[@MrT------5743]

My guess for Q1 is protection from anything that could enter the engine. Like birds, dirt/dust. Insects etc. It is like the "remove before flight" protective caps for airplanes when they are stored.

Doesn't SpaceX also put together their Falcon 9 rockets in the horizontal position, and then raise them into the vertical launch position as well? That's what I've been toldd by a tour guide while on a bus tour of one of the launch sites they use which is the Kennedy Space Center

[@AeonExploration]

yeah

[@DmLe-m7y]

A decade ago i've found a book scan from 1993, about differences in these aspects, including transporting with a train and also the core booster being hoistable by its ends, and flyable even in winter blizzard. The author made a strong point that nasa made rockets few % more efficient, but an order of magnitude more expensive. Space X engineers must tave read it and got the message. I also noticed Orbital company had a very small launch pad, without huge concrete bunkers for the equipment, because if a rocket falls on them or explodes closely, all the concrete has to be rebuilt, which will take a year, but if there was just a small pad, and an empty kerosene tank semitrailer, you just buy another one next day, rebuild the pad in a month or 2, and you're done.

[@aceman67]

You left out two of the most important parts of the mission: 1) Each person who rides a Soyuz plants a tree near the Cosmonaut barracks, and 2) you urinate on the back tire of the bus before you acend the rocket.

[@MrTaramka]

3) everyone gets a little kick from the launcher man when they climb the ladder

[@d.cypher2920]

They also kick, or often just knee the buttocks of the cosmonaut about to ascend the stairs, and then ascend into space, inside the rocket. When I asked in the comments of a Soyuz launch video once about that: The reply was that it's a tradition, and is supposed to start the ascension of the cosmonaut by kicking them in the ass, providing some lucky thrust to begin his/her mission. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂

Great video! But during reentry, there's heat but no fire :p only plasma! Its not coz of the friction, it's coz of pressure! Basically, an object (capsule) slams air so hard air can't escape fast enough to the side and as more and more air is slammed onto, in this case heat shied, the pressure rises immensely and thats what creates the plasma and the heat. There's no fire :)

13:00 during Re-Entry, of course the astronauts (or cosmonauts) experience 4G during this part of the decent, if the thrusters (automatic systems) fail, they can either use a backup controller or the steeper ballistic decent, during a ballistic decent, the G load increases to 9! I think that’s more than what a fighter pilot pulls, but imagine doing the Ballistic decent when you have been up without gravity for 6 months.

[@DFX2KX]

9G is right up at the top of what a Fighter pilot can do, and most of them couldn't withstand that for the length of time they'd experiance it in this case. Airshow/demonstration pilots would be under strain even.
