State Missile Center Makeeva, the developer of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile and the Sineva submarine ballistic missile, has patented rockets for flights to the Moon and Mars.
A description of the line of super-heavy launch vehicles to the Moon and Mars is published on the website of the Federal Service for Intellectual Property. Earlier it became known that the creation of the Russian super-heavy rocket “Yenisei” was postponed. Initially, the first flight was planned for 2028, but now the project will be revised, and the new super-heavy rocket will be based on reusable technologies.
The new line of missiles is not reusable, but it is more payload than the currently most payload Saturn V. The patent describes three rockets with payloads of 53, 106 and 160 tons. Missiles with a payload of 100 tons and above are called super-heavy.
They plan to deliver missile units to the Vostochny cosmodrome, in particular, by An-124 Ruslan aircraft. The rockets will use the RD-171MV oxygen-kerosene engines and the RD-0120 oxygen-hydrogen engines.
The data presented indicate the possibility of using the proposed space rockets to study the planets of the solar system, in particular the moon and Mars.
