Energia was simply the best rocket launch platform ever made.
So sad it got discarded due to breakup of USSR!
Energia's payload to mass ratio sucked and its bulky design reflected that Soviets weren't able make an efficient SHLV like Saturn V.Ya'll Nibbiars The Engine and tanks were already there for the UR 700 to lift 150 tins into the LEO. But they gone for the N 1 after the initial fundings where mocking ups and testing were carried outs.
This thing is pure beauty.Energia's payload to mass ratio sucked and its bulky design reflected that Soviets weren't able make an efficient SHLV like Saturn V.
Only positive thing about Energia is that it looked majestic.

Ya'll Nibbiars and Energia total weight was 22 lakhs kilograms and Saturn 5 was 30 lakhs kilograms. Then how does @Indx TechStyle arrived to that the Saturn 5 is better than the energia?.This thing is pure beauty.
Fully automated system. The clip on tanks will fly back on its back to earth and land like a plane.
Even Buran was fully automated and did clean landing on its first flight on its own.
My bad, I got it 58 lakh kg from some other source.Ya'll Nibbiars and Energia total weight was 22 lakhs kilograms and Saturn 5 was 30 lakhs kilograms. Then how does @Indx TechStyle arrived to that the Saturn 5 is better than the energia?.
Ya'll Nibbiars @Indx TechStyle Nibba be like after this.My bad, I got it 58 lakh kg from some other source.
Well, that reduces payload to mass ratio.Ya'll Nibbiars @Indx TechStyle Nibba even after attaching the 8 Zenith booster the total weight of the Energia was 58 lakhs kilograms. And capable of placing a 175 tons payload in the LEO.
Ya'll Nibbiars well the Zenith booster were not that much powerful if some better bosster attached then a better payload to the mass ratio was achievable.Well, that reduces payload to mass ratio.
Hey, as well as @Haldilal What about our S-200 booster? What's it position in comparison to other solid boosters?Well, that reduces payload to mass ratio.
Ya'll Nibbiars pehale hone to do phir bolna SHLV ke barame.Hey,@Haldilal What about our S-200 booster? What's it position in comparison to other solid boosters?
We can make than this booster too.
The S-200 booster of gslv mk-3 dude, I am asking it's comparison to others, read it is quite powerful.Ya'll Nibbiars pehale hone to do phir bolna SHLV ke barame.
Ya'll Nibbiars EAP P238 is more powerful.The S-200 booster of gslv mk-3 dude, I am asking it's comparison to others, read it is quite powerful.
S200 is third largest solid rocket booster in world. For SHLV though, even the boosters should be equivalent of GSLV.Hey, as well as @Haldilal What about our S-200 booster? What's it position in comparison to other solid boosters?
We can make than this booster too.
Ya'll Nibbiars thats micro satellite sharing payload. The ISRO already trained Enginners and staff in Bhutan to operate the satellite.For Bhutan
