Fobos-Grunt

 2011-065A


The Fobos-Grunt (Phobos Sample) mission uses a new Lavochkin bus and has a mass of 2000 kg. Launch mass is 8120 kg; includes the MDU stage. Launch mass of PM is 1550 kg. MDU is 6100 kg and is a Flagman stage, Fobos ADU derived with S5.92 engine, similar to Fregat-SB. VA mass is 215 kg and SA for Earth entry is 8 kg. MDU has 4675 kg oxidizer, 2340 kg fuel; SBB has 2004 kg oxidizer, 997 kg fuel.

NIIMASH PM propulsion system: dry mass 56 kg, prop mass 135 kg and 6 kg N2 gas (total 197 kg?) N2O4/UDMH engine 1530N, 2982m/s Isp.) made of 4x 11D458F engine each with 382.4N, 304s Isp, plus small thrusters. Prop mass 343 kg oxidizer 186 kg fuel (max loading) for total prop 529 kg.

Carries out Fobos landing, Fobos launch to Mars orbit, transearth insertion and TCM in transearth cruise.

SA cone, 7 kg VA propulsion system 124N, Isp 3002 m/s, Box

(Based on 11D414NS 13.3N version for elliptical orbit comsat (Meridan?) with Isp 273.3s, 56 kg dry, 42 kg prop, total impulse 79.1 kNs)

Also flyby module, attitude control with 4 x 11D457F thruster with 54N thrust, 1 x 17DF58EF with 12.5N thrust.

Launch vehicle core is the two-stage Zenit-2SB41.1; with the payload this is known as the Zenit-2FG launch vehicle, and had serial number 70181302.

After insertion, no communications until late Nov when ESA/Perth had a few successful contacts, but later contacts yielded only silence.
