Russian Proton-M Rocket Explodes On Take-Off

[Tshering22]

oh,How come Chinese rockets are very reliable,how about Indian rockets?

Sent our navigation satellite 2 days back on one.

Google it out.

And that too with the same openness and transparency with which we show our failures..

yeah indians,canadians,french and others are sending flys in to space only americans and russians are sending rockets.and china is the only supplier to them.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about........
How can India help Russia in this regard?.......the Protom-M was a 'heavy lifter' and India is not yet capable of 'heavy lifting' but China is.....
Canada doesn't even have a satellite launcher.....India launches their Satellites.....and you're saying Canada can help Russia.....LOL
Regarding France, they're member of ESA and their product or service is expensive too........so the cheapest alternative for Russia was China........

 

[zzzz]

Probably because China uses US-made electronics.

Probably not

2004-2012
Russia
242 launches / 15 failures = 93.8% success rate
USA
136 launches / 7 failures = 94.85% success rate

Looks like first-rate American electronics not much better than second-rate Chinese

really??proton m launch is of 5.5 tonnes in geo stationary orbit and 22 tonnes in low orbit. india is planning a launch of 640 tonnes with gslv this year.and perhaps u dont know that canada already has a space agency yes they use our rockets to launch their satellites what u dnt know is we too use rockets of other countries to launch our satellites.its not just about capability lot of things come in to the picture.u only build a rocket only if its economical .

besides the the article clearly mentions the booster failure for a 5.5T launch i guess all these countries has the capability to manage the issue not just china from china!!

Well, better luck next time.

It can happen to anybody, not cool to indulge in schadenfreude.

with the cost savings you could launch almost twice as much as the muricans.

You are incredibly misinformed. GLSV has a mass of 640 tonnes, its payload is only 10 tonne at low earth orbit and 4-5 tonne at geo-stationary. Proton-M has a mass of 712 tonnes.

You are incredibly misinformed.
GLSV has a mass of 640 tonnes, its payload is smaller at the proposed 10 tonne at low earth orbit and 4-5 tonne at geo-stationary but it has failed continuously to date.
Proton-M has a mass of 712 tonnes and has a much longer proven record of successful launches.

Proton-M needs protein

 

[GoodBoy]

Quality of russan-made rockets is really questionable.

Yeah "Chinese made" Russian rocket.

The word "Chinese made" is a synonym for cheap low quality products.

You might want to reconsider that comment...

with post like this your credibility to claim yourself an expert or what ever you called it is next to zero and confirmed my view you are no more than a cleaner in the us army

Wow.

Finally.. "The Child Becomes the Father of Man" !!

These kids posting in a defense forum and in a space tech. related thread have absolutely no knowledge on the subject matter whatsoever and on top of that, lack common sense....
As they don't understand the subject matter, they don't even realize how silly their posts are....
Discussing with them seems waste of time....

Early Launch Seen as Likely Cause of Proton-M Failure | Russia | RIA Novosti

from the article - they speak about another made in china product_ causing an accident in another launch.

"The infamous launch of Mars Grunt, an accident on board the Proton rocket, and then suddenly it turns out that it all happened because of a failure in the electronic computing unit, which was delivered from China
