Children will also be able to take part in the creation of design concepts that will be able to get on the body of the Amur methane rocket being created in the future, said Alexander Bloshenko, Executive Director of Roscosmos for Advanced Programs and Science
MOSCOW, January 23. /tass/. Signs with the wishes of children in graphic or text format will be launched into orbit on the demonstrator of the satellite of the Skif group. This was announced by the Executive Director of Roscosmos for Advanced Programs and Science Alexander Bloshenko.
He clarified that together with the UNITY Foundation, several projects are planned to give strength and confidence in the fight against the disease to children with cancer. "As part of the implementation of the federal project Sphere, it is planned to launch the Skif-D spacecraft in 2022, on which, thanks to the joint efforts of the UNITY Foundation and the ISS named after Academician M. F. Reshetnev, tablets of children with the image of their innermost desires in graphic or text format will be placed," Bloshenko is quoted as saying in the Russian Cosmos magazine.
According to the executive director, children will also be able to take part in the creation of design concepts that in the future will be able to get on the body of the Amur methane rocket being created in the Russian Federation with a returnable stage. They can also get on the ground space infrastructure, landing platforms, and become the basis of an interactive laser show before launch. "The field for creativity and imagination is limitless here," Bloshenko believes.
In October 2020, Roscosmos and Progress RCC signed a contract for the development of a preliminary design of a space rocket complex with the first Russian reusable rocket powered by methane "Amur". The rocket will receive a returnable first stage and will be launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region.
