The drawing is more suitable for suborbital flights, said Dmitry Loskutov, CEO of the company
MOSCOW, December 8. /tass/. The lottery draw is suitable for suborbital flights, but is an unsuccessful way to promote flights to the International Space Station. This opinion was expressed during the broadcast of the launch of the Soyuz MS-20 manned spacecraft on the Roscosmos-TV channel by the CEO of Glavkosmos (part of Roscosmos) Dmitry Loskutov.
"If we talk about flights to low Earth orbit, imagine: a person won the lottery, and then for some reason, for health or psychological reasons, refused to fly. We get a disappointed customer, we get a damaged image of those who organized this flight. Therefore, I believe that a lottery is not the best way to fly to the ISS, but we are thinking about different ways to use the means to promote this service," Loskutov said.
He noted that the drawing is more suitable for suborbital flights. "There, training is limited to one or two days, unlike serious flights," explained the general director of Glavkosmos.
