Прототип многоразовой ступени "Крыло-СВ" создадут в конце 2022 года

Глава Роскосмоса Дмитрий Рогозин отметил, что России не подходит технология, которую использует компания SpaceX

The prototype of the reusable cruise stage of the Krylo-SV light class rocket will be created at the end of 2022, Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said on Monday at a press conference within the framework of the 72nd International Astronautical Congress in Dubai.
"This project is called Krylo-SV. We plan to create a prototype of this device at the end of next year," Rogozin said.
He noted that Russia is not suitable for the technology used by SpaceX. "According to ballistic calculations, if we start from the Vostochny cosmodrome, the landing site of the missile blocks is the border of the Sea of Okhotsk and our Far Eastern coast, the Khabarovsk Territory. This zone is completely uninhabited, and the place to pick up our missile module seems extremely difficult," he explained.
The out-of-project of the Krylo-SV return stage was prepared and protected at the Foundation for Advanced Studies (PIF) on May 29, 2019. The development was carried out by the V. M. Myasishchev Design Bureau. In the journal of the United Aircraft Corporation "Horizon" it was specified that after the release of the rocket to a given height, the project involves the opening of the wing and the inclusion of the jet engine. This will allow you to return the first stage.



In the U.S., there are currently returnable stages in SpaceX's Falcon rockets, and blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. Reusable missiles are also being developed in China and Europe.

Russia will attempt to test a winged rocket for boosted landing recovery (turbojet):

The scaled-down, 6-m-long Krylo-SV technology demonstrator will be dropped from a helicopter at an altitude of 3 km to check its ability to glide down and land as an aircraft. To do so, the vehicle is equipped with a folding wing, tail fins and aircraft landing gear developed with United Aircraft Corp.

It also has small turbojet engines in the nose for steering during descent. A TsNIIMASH presentation at Army 2023 showed two engines to be used by Krylo-SV: a 150-kg-thrust MGTD-150 designed by Simonov Design Bureau and a 55-kg-thrust R500 by Russia’s Reynolds Co.

Some knows too well how I am found of the concept.

I'm not sure about this project.
Too much mass and volume is wasted on reusability compared to Falcon-esque method.
Here you have a retractable chassis, that eath both mass and internal volume, two turbofan engines that eat mass and require dedicated kerosene fuel tank, and big wing with turning system.

Propulsive landing also scales terribly on small launchers.
Maybe parachute is the ideal at this scale, Rocket lab seems to slowly make it work.

Pressure-fed and chutes might make the best match. Slow enough so the innate strength of pressure feds keeps them intact upon splashdown.
