The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China (MOST) has allocated funds for the development of promising projects in the field of space exploration. One of them is the creation of a gigantic ship with a length of about several kilometers. And although such initiatives look like outright adventures, they may make sense.

The Russian Orion-E drone has been improved. The "classmate" of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 received satellite communication, which increased the radius of application of the device. This is reported by TASS with reference to the General Director of JSC "Kronstadt" Sergey Bogatikov.

The future of our world belongs to biotechnologies, and scientists from Washington University in St. Louis (USA) have presented another strong proof of this. They trained bacteria to collect artificial analogues of living muscles, but not in the form of ready-made muscles, but in the format of fibers. They can be used to weave fabric or create details of prostheses, the strength of which exceeds all current analogues.

The Ukrainian tank industry is in a deep crisis. From the once giant of Soviet industry - the Malyshev plant, in fact, there are repair shops that are capable of semi-artistically, as they say, on the knee, making individual samples from the previous reserves, which then break down during rehearsals of parades.

Work is underway to radically improve both the combat and operational characteristics of the product, said Fanil Ziyatdinov, General Director of the Kupol plant

Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant "Kupol "(as part of the Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defense Concern) is working to modernize and improve all the main characteristics of the Tor anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). This was reported to TASS by the general director of the enterprise Fanil Ziyatdinov.

This was announced on Wednesday, September 1, by Mikhail Gordin, General Director of the Central Institute of Aviation Motor Engineering named after P. I. Baranov.

Ukrainian scientists have developed a radiometric remote sensing system for all-weather detection of drones. The development of the staff of the National Aerospace University named after Zhukovsky "Kharkiv Aviation Institute" was presented at the Sikorsky Challenge-2021 festival of innovative projects, Defense Express reports.

In China, a prototype of a two-legged robot Jet-HR2 was created, which was taught to fly with the help of fans. Details about the development of the engineers of the Guangdong Institute of Technology are set out in the preprint of the report, available at arXiv.org.

Roscosmos plans to explore the possibility of using autonomous transport robotic systems for the anti-terrorist protection of its facilities, according to materials on the state procurement website.

Tests of a hybrid power plant based on a gas turbine engine and a superconducting electric motor at the Yak-40LL flying laboratory will be completed in 2022.

The situation around the planned frequency of launches of the Soyuz-5 medium rocket created by the Progress Rocket and Space Center (RCC) and the Rocket and Space Corporation (RSC) Energia remains uncertain, Progress CEO Dmitry Baranov told Russian Space.

The Rocket Factory Augsburg company conducted strength tests of the promising RFA One rocket. The first flight of the carrier is scheduled for the end of the year.

No country today has weapons capable of countering the Russian airline complex with a hypersonic Kinzhal missile. This was announced on Wednesday by the head of the Rostec state Corporation Sergey Chemezov.

"We produce these missiles. First of all, they are highly accurate, they hit the target at a long distance. Plus, they have a very high speed, it is actually impossible to intercept such a missile. So far, there is no such counteraction to our missiles today, "Chemezov said during the" New Knowledge " marathon.
