The Russian Pacific Fleet has been handed over a unique Star Wars ship - Marshal Krylov. Space ship "Marshal Krylov" What kind of animal is this


"Marshal Krylov" will be able to track orbital constellations of satellites and control squadrons of ships.

Russian sailors received a floating Star Wars headquarters. For the needs of the Pacific Fleet, the space monitoring ship Marshal Krylov, which has no analogues in the world, has been modernized. Its equipment allows in real time how to control ships, aircraft and ground forces, and conduct operations in outer space... The ship can solve not only military tasks. It will be used by Roskosmos to track rocket launches from the Vostochny cosmodrome. For the set of onboard electronic systems "Marshal Krylov" has already received the nickname "Star Wars headquarters" in the Navy.

In the Main Command of the Navy, they said that work on the modernization of the ship of the measuring complex "Marshal Krylov" has already been practically completed. Trial tests took place during the Vostok-2018 strategic exercises. After the completion of all work, "Marshal Krylov" should become a ship control center of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet).

The launch of the ship into the open sea was announced before the start of the exercises. True, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not name which ship would take part in them. Before the start of Vostok-2018, at a briefing for foreign military attachés, the chief General Staff Armed Forces General of the Army Valery Gerasimov casually noted that the fleet will test new equipment.

Ships of a completely new class, which provide control of groupings of forces in ocean areas, - said Valery Gerasimov.

"Marshal Krylov" of project 1914.1 is the only ship of this class in the Russian Navy. Now he is listed in the 114th brigade of the Pacific Fleet.

"Marshal Krylov" is designed to ensure testing and development of new models of rocket and space systems, launching the means of the Aerospace Forces into orbit, search, rescue and evacuation of crews and descent vehicles that have landed on the water. And also for detecting ships, submarines and aircraft, relaying all types of information.

Before modernization, it was most often used to provide communication between cosmonauts and the mission control center (MCC) of the state corporation Roscosmos. After the upgrade, the ship will be used, among other things, to track rocket launches from the Vostochny cosmodrome.

The vessel underwent modernization at the Dalzavod ship repair center in Vladivostok. A new stern antenna complex was installed on the ship. Repaired main and auxiliary engines, navigational and radio equipment.

The Russian fleet will receive a one-of-a-kind ship, military expert Dmitry Boltenkov told Izvestia.

- "Marshal Krylov" will be indispensable when controlling remote groupings of ships, - said Dmitry Boltenkov. - Russia began to return to the World Ocean. In fact, the Mediterranean squadron, which existed under the USSR, has been recreated. It is possible that the squadron will be recreated in Indian Ocean... In this case, the ship will be especially useful for the fleet.

"Marshal Krylov" will be able to solve multifaceted tasks, said the head of the St. Petersburg club of submariners, captain of the first rank Igor Kurdin. The ship can provide communication in the most remote corners of the world, acting as a signal repeater, he explained.

Andrey Vladimirovich, how many types of antennas are there on the ship?

Many. There are optical measuring instruments - a photographic recording station, which consists of six large cameras, which are photographed with aerial film (its width is 18 cm!). The price of one reel is about 18 thousand rubles. This device - Russian development: phototheodolite with huge lens. True, the maximum speed is only 4 frames per second. There are optical measuring instruments on the ship that operate in the infrared range - radiometers. There are trajectory antennas. This is the same radio telemetry complex.

The one hidden in the white dome?

Yes, it measures the flight path of the object. The telemetry station measures the characteristics of an object: vibration, temperature, etc. There are also antennas for satellite communications, shipborne space communications ...

Why is a ship needed to complete all these tasks? Are there not enough ground stations?

We have very big country There are also a lot of ground-based measuring complexes (the easternmost, by the way, is located in Kamchatka in the settlement of Vulkanny, Elizovsky region), each of them removes its own plot. If, for example, a rocket's upper stage is disconnected outside the reach of these ground points, then our ship comes into play, we approach the required point and make a survey.

Our spacecraft will be especially relevant with the commissioning of the Vostochny cosmodrome. This southernmost range of ours is intended for manned space exploration.

Is it your job to evacuate the capsule of the lander?

Yes, the ship has a special onboard lifting device for evacuating the capsule with astronauts. It's not just a winch. This is an arrow to which a metal mesh is suspended, it descends like a net, grabs the capsule and lifts it aboard. I personally saw this operation only once, in 1992: "Marshal Krylov" took part in the "Space flight" Europe - America-500 "project. The space object was launched from Baikonur, we were in the Seattle area. At that moment, a 7-point storm broke out there. If the launch had been postponed, due to the rotation of the Earth, the capsule would have fallen into the sea 300 kilometers from us, we would not have had time to lift it. Our commander decided not to postpone the launch. Right during the storm, we safely caught the capsule, lifted it and brought it to Seattle, where it has been kept in the “Aviation Museum” of that city ever since. At the same time, foreigners got on board for the first time on board the Marshal Krylov.

Are there analogues of the Marshal Krylov ship in the world?

The Chinese have similar ships, but they are slightly different. There are definitely no analogues in Russia. In addition, Marshal Krylov is one of the few helicopter-carrying ships in Kamchatka and one of the largest ships in the Pacific Fleet. The ships of our brigade were the first to test helicopters at sea.

What else is your ship the best?

The people here are the best. They do not serve for "big shoulder straps", but because they love their job. Our ship is one big experiment. The measuring stations that we have are nowhere to be found, there is no sample. Everything is unique! And this uniqueness is both a plus and a minus of our ship. The institutes do not graduate specialists specifically for us. Everything is specific. It seems that the nut is also tightened, but not like that, in a nautical way. I have 104 people in the measuring complex, including 28 officers and 46 warrant officers. Officers need to grow, because every officer who enters the service, as they say, dreams of becoming an admiral. And then there is nowhere to grow. But in our fleet it is usually "where he was born, there he came in handy." That is, if you come to serve on this ship, you will continue to work here. Even the ship's commander (the previous one) came to us as an engineer in the measuring complex with the rank of lieutenant, passed all positions, after which he became a commander. I don't like being a commander, I like taking measurements.

When did you come to serve on the ship?

July 27, 1992, I was 22 years old. Now 44. The next year is a pension. Himself from Kazakhstan from the city of Alma-Ata, graduated from the Republican Physics and Mathematics School.

Many expressed their deep regret that the fleet was losing such unique vessels. However, there is some good news related to another measuring ship from the Soviet era.


Ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna in the fall of 2012 went to sea to carry out tasks for its intended purpose.


This ship can be considered unique. After all, it is the only one in its class in the fleet, performing tasks to ensure flight design tests of new models of rocket and space technology (spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, etc.).


On July 24, 2012 the ship turned 25 years old. In order to maintain the units and mechanisms in good condition, the ship was put on long-term dock repairs in Vladivostok, during which the whole range of work on the support systems was carried out. After that, "Marshal Krylov" successfully passed sea trials in the Amur Bay.


Let's find out more about the history of this ship.


The need for ships capable of conducting all kinds of measurements of intercontinental missiles arises at the beginning space age... The missiles, equipped with nuclear warheads, reached the level when the test sites became small for them - the range of the missile began to be measured in thousands of kilometers. Previously, the observation and measurement of parameters was carried out by measuring points installed on land ranges. Now, when the launched rocket could fly around half the world, new means of their control and measurement were required.


The ships owe their appearance to TsNII-4 and personally outstanding designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev. It is with his proposal to create a naval command and measurement complex and its extension to the Pacific Ocean to control tests of strategic missile weapons that the history of these amazing auxiliary ships begins - the history of the symbiosis of the space and naval fleets.

1958 year. Management Soviet Union decides on the creation and construction of a ship - a command and measurement complex. Involvement in the establishment of a CFC great amount of people different specialties and many enterprises of the military-industrial complex. The first to give are dry cargo vessels of project 1128, created in Poland for the Soviet Union as dry cargo carriers, for their conversion into KIK. The design part of the KIK is the Leningradskoye Central Design Bureau and Baltsudoproekt. After receiving the ships, work began on equipping them with special equipment. It is worth noting that at that time there was practically no measuring technique and equipment for using it on surface ships, and it was removed from ground stations and automobile chassis. Command and measurement equipment was installed in the holds of ships on special platforms. In addition to apparatus and equipment, the ships received reinforced plating for the possibility of a campaign (expedition) through the northern sea ​​route... All work on equipping and equipping the ships was completed by the summer of 1959, after which the sea trials of the KIK began immediately.


All KIK entered the so-called "TOGE" - Pacific Hydrographic Expedition. The location of TOGE is a bay on the Kamchatka Peninsula (later the city of Vilyuchinsk grew up there).

The main tasks of the TOGE:

Measuring and tracking the trajectory of an ICBM flight;

Tracking the fall and determining the coordinates of the fall of the head of the rocket;

Control and monitoring of the mechanisms of a nuclear device;

Removal, processing, transmission and control of all information from the facility;

Control of the trajectory and information coming from the spacecraft;

Maintaining constant communication with the astronauts on board the spacecraft.


The first ships of Project 1128 - Sakhalin, Siberia, Suchan (Spassk) were combined into the first floating measuring complex (1PIK), the provisional name - "Brigade S". A little later they were joined by the Project 1129 ship Chukotka. All ships were put into service in 1959. Cover Legend - Pacific Oceanographic Expedition (TOGE-4). In the same year, the ships made the first expedition to the area Hawaiian Islands, which became known as the "Aquatoria" missile test site. These were the first ships that sailed to the center of the Pacific Ocean, the autonomy of which reached 120 days.

Everything in this expedition was top secret, mentions of these ships threatened at that time with being sent to places not so distant for divulging state secrets. The ships had an unusual silhouette and paint color - on the ball-colored hull there were white superstructures with various antennas. The main equipment was radar stations and direction finders, hydrophones and echo sounders, telemetry and secret communications stations. And although the flags of the Navy were hung on them, who they obey, where they are and what they do, the absolute majority of the population of the Soviet Union did not know, even the commanders military units, surface and submarine ships. Officers who came to serve on such ships only learned when accepting a position that hydrography was only a cover for the ship's real tasks.

The secrecy of the ships was in everything, so, for example, during the transition from Kronstadt to the base, all visible antennas were dismantled and put back only in Murmansk. There the ships were equipped with Ka-15 deck helicopters. To ensure further progress, the ships are assigned icebreakers. On the way, the helicopters worked out different tasks on grinding to the ship and reconnaissance of the ice situation. And although the helicopters were tested in the North, and combat missions were solved at the Equator, the Ka-15 helicopters proved to be good and for a long time remained the main helicopters of these ships.


Subsequently, the following ships were commissioned:


After the attachment of the ships of Project 1130, 2 PIK were created, the code name "Brigade Ch". Cover Legend - TOGE-5. In 1985, the ships are included in the 35th KIK brigade. The brigade adhered to the battle and Everyday life orders of the commanders-in-chief of the Navy and Strategic Missile Forces of the Soviet Union. In addition to the measurement ships, two raid messenger boats and one tug MB-260 were enrolled in the brigades.

Combat work and missions of the KIK


The presence of TOGE ships were a prerequisite the beginning of testing of all Soviet ICBMs, they provided all flights of spacecraft of the Soviet Union and studied flights of enemy spacecraft. The first combat mission of the ships is the end of October 1959. The first tracking and measurement of the flight of an intercontinental missile - the end of January 1960. The first manned flight into space was also provided by the TOGE-4 spacecraft, which were sent to a given area in Pacific and to the last they kept the combat mission secret from them. The ship "Chumikan" took part in 1973 in the rescue operations on "Apollo-13". In the early 80s, the ships provided the launch of the Soviet BOR. End of the 80s - Marshal Nedelin provided the ISS Buran flight. "Marshal Krylov" completed the assigned tasks in the mission "Europe-America-500". In the 1960s, TOGE-4 ships studied and removed information from American high-altitude nuclear explosions.

The ships ended their history very tragically:

- Siberia was cut into scrap metal;

- "Chutotka" was cut into scrap metal;

- "Spassk" was sold to the United States for 868 thousand dollars;

- “Sakhalin” was sold to the PRC;

- "Chumikan" was sold for $ 1.5 million;

- "Chamzha" was sold for 205 thousand dollars;

- “Marshal Nedelin” was robbed for a long time, money for restoration was never found, it was sold to India as scrap metal.

They wanted to build another 3rd ship of project 1914, the ship "Marshal Biryuzov" was laid down and work began, but the collapse of the Soviet Union, like many other projects, put a bold cross on its further completion, and it, in the end, was cut into metal.


Project 1914.1 "Marshal Krylov"

Today it is the last KIK of 8 ships capable of working with space and intercontinental objects. The base is the city of Vilyuchinsk, Kamchatka Peninsula.


The main developer is Balsudoproekt. The emergence of new measurement and control ships, completely built from "A" to "Z" in the Soviet Union - logical solution during the "arms race" that existed at that time. The ship embodied the experience of previously built ships, their modernization and equipping with new equipment. It was planned to install the most modern equipment on the ship, expand the capabilities of deck helicopters and all the functionality of the ship. The ship was laid down at the Leningrad shipbuilding facilities on June 22, 1982. The constructed ship left the stocks on 07.24.1987. The ship arrived at the base in mid-1990, passing not like other ships along the Northern Route, but through the Suez Canal. In 1998, the ship changes its classification for the last time and becomes a communications vessel.

The ships of projects 1914 and 1914.1 outwardly differed only in the presence of the second "Fregat" radar on the second hull with an improved antenna. Some changes have affected the internal layout of the premises. Installed powerful surveillance tools allow you to perform additional tasks. The hull of the vessel received an anti-ice belt of class L1. Installed on the ship:

Small foremast;

Mainmast with interiors;

Mizzen mast with interiors;

Two swimming pools, one on the superstructure deck, the other in the gymnasium;

Officers - single cabins;

Command - block cabins;

The commander of the ship is a block cabin with a saloon for celebrations.

The ship of project 1914.1, even today, is one of the largest and most equipped ships of the Russian Navy. It represents the latest achievements of Soviet scientists and designers, of which one can single out:

Storm two-way satellite communications complex;

Space communication equipment "Aurora", which provides telephone communication with the Central Control Center and astronauts in orbit;

Equipment "Zefir-T", one of the most important complexes for working with antennas and objects;

Equipment "Zefir-A", a unique even today complex of measurements, the main advantage - used algorithms for processing information, a powerful complex of calculations;

Photo registration station "Woodpecker". Although in its parameters it works like an ordinary human eye, technologically it turned out to be an extremely complex complex - it has no analogues in the world;

Direction finder-radiometer "Kunitsa" - equipment of the last chance to collect information about the controlled object;

Navigation complex "Andromeda". Another representative of the unique Soviet thought - calculates the coordinates of a given point and all the accompanying characteristics;

The ship of the measuring complex "Marshal Krylov" is the second ship of the 1914 project, but was built according to the modified project 1914.1. Named after Marshal N. I. Krylov. At present, it is the only ship of the control and measuring complex in the Russian Navy, performing the tasks of providing flight design tests of new models of rocket and space technology (spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, and others).

The 1914 project was developed by the Baltsudoproekt Central Design Bureau.

On July 24, 1982, at the Leningrad Admiralty Association, the ship's hull was laid (serial number 02515). Launched on July 24, 1987. On December 30, 1989 he was commissioned into the Russian Navy. On February 23, 1990, the USSR naval flag was raised on the ship in a solemn atmosphere.

Main characteristics:

Structural measuring complex "Marshal Krylov" is divided into three divisions that are engaged in measurements: a division of trajectory measurements (speed and coordinates of the target in a particular system coordinates), telemetry (radio transmission of data on the state of the object during the flight: temperature, vibration, etc.) and computer technology (the division processes the received data).

History

KIK "Marshal Krylov" named after twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of the Soviet Union Nikolai Ivanovich Krylov. By a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of July 22, 1982, a corps was laid at the Leningrad Admiralty Association. Launched on July 24, 1987. The "godmother" of the ship was Nikolai Krylov's granddaughter, Marina Krylova, who broke a traditional bottle of champagne on the stem during the ceremony of launching the ship. Since then, the cork from the bottle has been kept in the Marshal Krylov Museum as an amulet that protects the ship from disaster. Completion and fine-tuning continued afloat for two years. On July 9, 1989, its crew arrived on the ship under the command of the commander of the ship, captain 2nd rank Yuri Mikhailovich Pirnyak and the head of the measuring complex of captain 3rd rank Anatoly Grigorievich Poberezhny. KIK "Marshal Krylov" entered service on December 30, 1989. On February 23, 1990, the USSR naval flag was raised.

During the transition to the Pacific Fleet, the ship went through the Suez Canal, and not along the Northern Sea Route, like other ships during a similar transition.

July 9, 1990 at 20:20 local time KIK "Marshal Krylov" arrived at the permanent base of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-50, and anchored in the Krasheninnikov Bay.

In 1992 KIK "Marshal Krylov" played a major role in the historic mission "Europe-America-500". In the Seattle area, during a 7-point storm, the Resource-500 space capsule was safely discovered, lifted aboard and transported to Seattle, where it has been kept in the Aviation Museum ever since.

In 1998, the crew of the measuring complex, reconnaissance, chemical command, helicopter complex and ship control remained in the military. A total of about 130 people. The rest are contract servicemen and civil servants.

In 2004 " KIK "Marshal Krylov" " he was engaged in monitoring the parameters of warheads when launching the Topol ICBMs to the maximum range.

April 24, 2010 on board the cruiser "Aurora" was held a solemn event in honor of the 20th anniversary KIK "Marshal Krylov"... The event was attended by veterans, ship builders and members of the first crews of the expedition. On behalf of the Union of Veterans, the medal "20 years of KIK" Marshal Krylov "was awarded to the chief builder of two ships of project 1914 Valentin Anatolyevich Talanov, deputy chief designer of Baltsudoproekt Ryazantsev Yuri Ivanovich and Shardin Vadim Evgenievich.

In 2011, the ship controlled the arrival of warheads at a given point of the Bulava ICBM. The test launch was carried out from the Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear submarine, carried out at the maximum flight range along the aiming point in the Pacific Ocean.

At the end of 2012 KIK "Marshal Krylov" completed scheduled dock repairs in Vladivostok and went to sea to perform tasks for its intended purpose. November 1, 2012 KIK "Marshal Krylov" returned to the permanent base after completing the tasks as intended. For two weeks in the Pacific Ocean covered about two thousand miles, during the voyage, the ship recorded telemetric information from the launches of ballistic and cruise missiles by nuclear submarines of the Pacific Fleet and the execution of live firing by a strike group of small missile ships of troops and forces in the northeast of Russia.

In 2013, the crew KIK "Marshal Krylov" at his home base in Kamchatka, he hosted the participants of the Memory Campaign dedicated to Victory Day, the 282nd anniversary of the formation of the Pacific Fleet and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Admiral Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoy. The commander of the spacecraft, Captain of the 1st Rank of the Reserve Igor Shalyna, introduced the delegation to the unique vessel, told about the imminent passage to St. Petersburg, where a major overhaul of the space complex is planned. Veterans-participants of the Memory campaign handed over a gift from the Vladivostok Naval Assembly, of which the ship has been a collective member for many years. Book released for the 270th anniversary Russian fleet, will take its rightful place along with other exhibits. Meeting the participants of the cruise with the crew of the ship "Marshal Krylov", as always, took place in the ship's museum, which became the keeper of the history of the "star expedition".

Repair and modernization

October 8, 2014 KIK "Marshal Krylov" left Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky for Vladivostok for deep modernization. The ship arrived at Dalzavod on 17 October. The proposed repair with modernization will allow the ship to extend not only the service life, but also to use it even more intensively in order to ensure the country's military and space activities. Also, the modernization of the ship's systems will allow the use of KIK "Marshal Krylov" in the interests of the cosmodrome "
