Korolev Effect - Alternate history of the Soviet Space Program

[@HPWRussio]

Korolev Effect - sounds like a name of fanfiction story for Mass Effect game, but where Korolev survived (instead died in 1966) and realised all his dreamed.

[@javiermoretti1825]

This is the premise for the show "For All Mankind."

[@adriank8792]

Sadly. I wish the show wasn't so focused on appeasing the Russians

[@unsatisfiedfans7422]

Korolev actually not that interested in putting Soviet men on the Moon, instead he's aiming for a large spacecraft for interplanetary mission to Mars

[@Quenical]

Elon musk if he was a politic figure, looking completely past the moon and onto something damn near impossible

[@jort7365]

Wow... This is sooo well made! Love the style, it looks like the 'flames' that come out of the engines, are made from paper of some sort. How did you do that?! The aspect ratio finishes the style just in a perfect way. I'm too lazy to check, but all the events that happened like after the N1 rocket. Were that official plans or did you fantasise them?

[@deepspacecourier]

Thank you! You are right, flames that come out N1 are a mix of a geometry (top part) and 2d fire sprites with emission (lower part) . I assigned them a wave modifier and animated them moving by hand. Events after n1 are completely made up. I learned about some real concepts when we were already halfway done.

[@deepspacecourier]

Except for the moon lander, that was to be a real thing.

[@Wordsmiths]

@@deepspacecourier I met a rocket engineer at a space development conference who knew so much about the different plans for Moon and Mars science outposts that different Russian aerospace factions wanted to pursue... yours look like some of what he described. (He worked with Yuzhnoye iirc) Go to the next ISDC, you'll meet lots of insiders who would LOVE to talk your ear off and give you sketches, early engineering drafts, etc. Lots of old-timers go to those things. And the younger scientists and engineers are pretty passionate and full of really well-developed ideas too. Bryan Versteeg was hired to do some artistic renderings of the Kalpana One space station and the engineering team liked his work so much they basically gave him free rein to work with those engineering drawings as much as he liked. He's got lots of AMAZING space station renderings now ...all of them faithful to the actual engineering plans of an actual "huge space station." Maybe someday it will be built!

[@Wordsmiths]

A terrific glimpse of "what might have been"! Of course, if Russia returns to the Moon or sends a mission to Mars (perhaps with Kazakh, Indian, UAE, and even Japanese or South Korean partnership?) it will look quite a bit different. Any interest in creating THAT speculative-fiction video? I would love to see it!

[@deepspacecourier]

Thank you! We are certainly interested in doing that as well but right now we are working on another starship video.

[@Wordsmiths]

@@deepspacecourier Ooooh, yay Starship! So, a thought about that: SpaceX has always been very clear that they are a space transportation company. William Mook already has business plans drawn up for purchasing a flight-proven Starship and using it to make a ton of money in various ways (Mook thinks the Super Heavy boosters would not be sold for purchase, but only operated by SpaceX as part of their space transportation infrastructure. He talks as if he's spoken about it with Gwynne Shotwell or attended an investor meeting or something). So... at that future point, when the Starship is flight-proven and offered for sale to airline companies or space investors like Mook... what if Russia (+international partners) bought a handful of them, rather than going to all the trouble to build a "competitor" super-heavy launch vehicle? What if Russia+ invested their time, trouble and treasure in engineering all the stuff a Starship could CARRY to Mars? Roscosmos/Energiya-branded Starship video! And a flotilla of them going to Mars! Yes please! (Heck, you could sell that video to all the various space agencies, and offer to just re-skin the hardware with their logos! Instant promo videos, top-quality rendering, off-the-shelf pricing, and suddenly none of them seem left out of the low-cost-access-to-space revolution! ;-)

If he hadn't died years before, the moon race would have been won by mid '60s for sure. The Americans wouldn't just had the time to catch up with the USSR.

MAN, THAT VIDEO IS FIRE BRO

[@JimmyBlether]

Been wondering a number of things about the craft in this video since I first saw it. Of course R-7 sputnik, Vostok, N1, and the LK (sans blok d) are all givens, but following them come the more interesting fictional vehicles. The first of which is clearly a Lunar base module, it doesn't need much elaboration beyond that, presumably a version of the Zvezda base concept. Next however is a superbooster design, and one seems to have a little wedge shaped spacecraft atop the fairing. I presume this is a 2 stage and larger/more efficient successor to the N1 in this timeline, but beyond that, what was your design intent with it and is the little thing on the fairing actually some kind of spaceplane? Finally, the mars ship. What exactly is the intended propulsion method as there are large radiators but very little to no easily discernable fuel tanks, which to me suggests nuclear electric, albeit without any concerns for radiation safety. What was the design intent behind the ship (mars lander doesn't need elaboration, its a straightforward design with neat legs)?

Beautiful, just beatiful. What is the name of the large Moon lander? Today that is being tried with the Alpaca. It is also interesting to know, that the small lander has not been wasted, the Chinese bought the design from the Ucranians, and is being revamped for their own Moon space program. A modernized version will land in the Moon in the near future.

I wish the soviets succeeded and the rivalry with NASA would escalate: 1) Moon would have operating base(s) by 1980 2) USSR would have bankrupted and dismantled even earlier

[@Argentvs]

Or not. Perhaps the soviet moon landing would force the US to keep on the race and the USSR dedicate more resources into the space program and less in a multitude of wasteful military projects. With the nukes they had enough.In Example, the supersonic spaceplane bomber that was never made, costed more than the entire soviet space program to the end. And it was just a few years and not even a prototype was made.
