The module “Zarya”
Oxy-hydrogen upper stage KVTK will significantly improve the energy characteristics of ILV heavy class "Angara-A5 and empower the CBC" Angara "for the implementation of space objects in high-orbit and trajectory. RB KVTK is a single stage accelerator, designed for individual, group and associated space launches. In the constructive part of RB KVTK are carrying a tank of fuel (hydrogen), suspended oxidizer tank (oxygen), intertank and the instrument compartment, the propulsion system. RB KVTK odds with the LV through the bottom flange, which remains on the launcher at his office.
Construction RB KVTK allows you to perform many hours of flying in space and carry out multiple (up to 5 times) the inclusion of
propulsion engine during flight. Based on the basic version - RB KVTK - designed oxygen-hydrogen upper stage launch vehicle for the middle class "Angara-A3 - RB RCAF and oxygen-hydrogen upper stage rocket for heavy-duty high-Angara-A7 - RB KVTK-A7.
Design and characteristics of upper stages of the family KVTK can use them in conjunction with a number of existing and future launch vehicles. This will significantly increase the energy potential of these carriers on the removal of payloads into high-energy orbits.Creating FGB was funded jointly by Russia and the United States under a special contract between the Space Center and NASA prime contractor for the ISS - by Boeing.

Description
Creating FGB was funded jointly by Russia and the United States under a special contract between the Space Center and NASA prime contractor for the ISS - by Boeing. Signed by 15 August 1995 contract was for design, detailed refinement, production, full life cycle testing, transportation to Baikonur Cosmodrome, carrying prelaunch and launch of FGB, as well as the supply for his imitators, standard equipment and spare parts.
The module "Zarya" - a 20-ton multi-purpose pressurized module.
Underlying FGB "Zarya" - strong air-tight case, whose rear conical bottom of the expanded part is the axial node for the service module docking with the space station.
To the front of the hull is welded spherical FGB pressurized adapter cone (adapter) designed for the U.S. Docking Module "Unity" and other elements of the International Space Station.
The adapter, which has an axial and lateral connecting nodes located micromotors and some sensor equipment. The rest of FGB is separated internally pressurized spherical head with a special hatch for conversions.
Inside the FGB located devices and equipment of various service systems, rendezvous and docking systems, telemetry, life support, supply and management, as well as space for new scientific equipment and stowage. Much of the equipment module is installed on its outer surface.
The size and configuration of the FGB "Zarya" for the ISS is similar to the Kvant-2 "and" Crystal "orbital station" Mir ". The module "Zarya" was created with the use of materials and components produced in Russia on the basis of heavy multi-purpose platform, used on spacecraft heavy class (Cosmos-929, -1267, -1443, -1686) and successfully tested as part of the orbital station Salyut-6 , -7 "in 1977-87 GG. Later it was used in specialized modules Kvant, Kvant 2, Kristall, Spektr, developed and manufactured in GKNPTs them. MV Khrunichev and used as part of the orbital complex "Mir". The module has a high degree of continuity systems, which increases the reliability of its functioning during operation.
Design-layout circuit module was selected on the basis of the basic requirements for the design and layout, as well as drawing on the experience of creation of "Kosmos-1443, -1686, modules station" Mir ".
The module "Zarya" consists of an instrument-sealed compartment (CDU) and the pressurized adapter (HA), separated from the bottom hatch.
PGO is designed to accommodate office equipment systems, related to the functions of management systems for docking with the ISS elements, life safety, electrical and scientific equipment.
GA is used for placement of equipment for mechanical docking with the ISS elements, as well as a set of antennas for the passive docking. Outside of CA is installed node capture for docking with the Shuttle manipulator.
The basis for the construction of all compartments is a single welded hermetic enclosure.
Maximum diameter 4.1 m, length 12.6 m, volume 80 m3.
On board the module is U.S. equipment (on-board computer MDM, the node for the capture of a manipulator "Shuttle").
The module consists of 31 board system, which includes about 3000 units, designed to perform the basic functions of traffic management, management board complex, information-sharing between the sides and the Earth, as well as the objectives of the ISS. The outside of the hull FGB "Zarya" is available propulsion system, consisting of 2 engines and convergence correction, a 24-engine stabilization and docking, 16 - the exact stabilization, 16 fuel tanks with a guaranteed amount of fuel that can be taken into the tanks, and then used (5700 kg), elements of thermal regulation, command radio antenna systems, radio telemetry monitoring and docking systems, devices, traffic control module Zarya in free flight, the device for capturing manipulators Shuttle (docking module with the American NODE1) manipulator and the ISS (for assembly work on the ISS), and devices for fixing the front-panel cable transmission, commands and data, means fixing the astronauts and scientific equipment. Also outside germokorpusa module placed cameras, light beacons, and turn around the solar panels with an autonomous orientation to the sun. Elements FGB "Zarya", installed outside, closed the screens bumper covers, and screen-vacuum insulation. In May 1997, the Supervisory Council of the ISS international partners it was decided to amend the specification and modification of a number of systems that require significant revisions of documentation, equipment and software. These modifications allowed for the docking of the American control module (ICM) to the module "Zarya" with the help of a shuttle flight to the ISS orientation 7A inclusive, docked cargo ship Progress M "to the side docking assembly module Zarya and the power, capacity management movement module Zarya, refueling FGB "Zarya" through the lower docking module. Was also increased mass of the fuel fill them. These modifications have provided additional back-up features that will enhance the capacity of ISS in the early stages of deployment. When into orbit whole block is protected reset after passing through the dense layers of the atmosphere nose fairing. And the third stage carrier rocket Proton-K "it is attached through an intermediate compartment, with the remainder of the stage after her separation. During manufacture and assembly of all components and systems FGB "Zarya" in general were a lot of variety of autonomous and complex, testing - electrical, pneumatic, thermal, vibration, for the operation, the integrity, strength, etc. All tests were conducted on the most modern test and diagnostic equipment of the Center with extensive use of computer technology.
The crews of American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts conducted a training on the module "Zarya", made several comments that were incorporated into the design. A large number of joint technical meetings with American specialists on conformity assessment module specifications, availability of technical and launch complexes.
