To the moon send heavy missile
Roscosmos has proposed to start the launch of the superheavy for missions to the moon in 2016. Himself missile system expect to build by 2030, when and planned expedition to the moon.
The Agency expects the construction of the launch complex in 2 time. On the ground, which will begin soon enough, it was proposed to start construction of a rocket that could carry cargo weighing 80-10 tons to low earth orbit. Using such missiles will be possible to send a crew in a new manned space vehicle to the moon, but without the landing on the moon, passed "Izvestia".
But, the initial step construction of the rocket is promagnum. According to unconfirmed estimates of the office it will cost 214,6 billion. The Agency proposes to build a heavy-lift rocket, which by 2030 would help to make much more ambitious goals. The main of which - the landing of the planet to the moon. Take-off mass of the lunar landing facility will be approximately the same as that of the PTC, about 20-25 tons. To send them to the moon in one bunch, need to be rocket payload 160-180 tons, say the authors of the project page.
Around the world there is not a single missile such capacity. For comparison, in America is in full swing construction of the missile complex SLS, which focuses on freight weighing up to 70 tons and a price of about $ 35 billion. The most powerful rocket in history still remains Saturn-5 Werner von Braun, which could lead to low earth orbit 141 tons of cargo. Saturn-5 was created specifically for the implementation of the South American lunar missions.
