Talk:Nedelin catastrophe

message: Nitric acid is not an oxidant so it surpised me to see it listed with "fuels" (the combination needs fuel and a reactive agent). UDMH is normally used with the oxidant Nitrogen Tetroxide, however I do not have record of what they were using on this ocassion
:Nitric acid is not an oxidant..
:It is, for sure. And it is one of the strongest oxidants (cp. WFNA or RFNA), it starts reaction on contact with a lot of reductants under normal conditions (in most of fuel combination it is hypergolic). Even pure Oxygen will not do this without the needed activation energy (ignition). --2A02:8109:8A00:24D4:D997:F91C:ADEF:1AF3 (talk) 14:18, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Just happened to notice, 1960 says 91 people died in the disaster while October 24 gives a figure of 165 people. I don't know what the real death toll is, but at least I know a contradiction when I see one. Someone should probably fix it and then add the accurate number to the Nedelin catastrophe article. - green_meklar
:The RussianSpaceWeb article gives an official figure of 92 dead and 49 injured, but adding up the numbers (84 soldiers buried on site, multiple soldiers buried elsewhere, and at least 18 civilians) indicates at least 104 deaths.  The Aerospaceweb page says 122 dead.  The videocosmos one says 126 were killed instantly, but its description of the explosion is inconsistent with the others, and IMO a little sensationalist.  I think the best we can do is to stick with 'over 100'.  --Townmouse 15:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The coordinates listed at the top of the article direct to a pad located two pads to the west of that which is listed in the Wikipedia article on the Baikonur Cosmodrome, as well as Russian edits of the same site in Wikimapia.
