Why does Russia need ultra-low satellites
The top leadership of Russia drew attention to the outer space closest to our planet: an instruction was given to create domestic satellites designed to operate in so-called ultra-low orbits. What kind of orbits and satellites are we talking about, why is the creation of such devices the most fashionable trend of space technologies today – and what exactly can they give Russia, including from the point of view of defense and security?
Chandrayan-3 made its first discovery on the moon
The Vikram lander measured the temperature in the circumpolar region of Selenium and found out that the soil at the surface there is significantly hotter than scientists previously thought.
"The fact that the ISS began to "crumble" and it is necessary to "run away" from it is an extreme judgment"
Roscosmos Executive Director Krikalev: many ISS systems need to be changed
The International Space Station (ISS) was and remains one of the most ambitious projects in the history of mankind. On his birthday, the executive director of Roscosmos for manned space programs, Sergey Krikalev, told the newspaper.Ru", how Russia and the USA interact on the project in conditions of political tension, why the station works after the end of the warranty period and how to deal with cracks that appear for unknown reasons.
The Russian mission on the moon needs a second chance
It would be a mistake to assume that if an Indian station has already landed on the Moon, then there is no sense in a new mission nearby. The Earth's natural satellite will still present us with a huge number of different surprises.
Personnel section: Roscosmos plans to halve the staff of the central office
To avoid layoffs, employees will be transferred to subsidiaries, sources claim
Roscosmos is considering the possibility of reducing the staff of the central office from 600 to 300 people, sources told Izvestia. This is due to the difficulties of forming a wage fund.
What is known about the Crew-7 manned mission to the ISS
The crew includes Russian Konstantin Borisov, American Jasmine Mogbeli, Dane Andreas Mogensen and Japanese Satoshi Furukawa
TASS-DOSSIER. On August 26, 2023, at 10:27 Moscow time, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 launch vehicle with a Crew Dragon manned spacecraft from the Cape Canaveral cosmodrome (Florida, USA).
The future of the military technosphere is increasingly difficult to predict
Russia's security directly depends on innovations in this area
The XI Moscow Conference on International Security was held in the context of a radical change in the military-political situation in the world, the formation of a real multipolar world order. Heads and representatives of defense departments, international organizations, experts and political scientists exchanged views on strengthening constructive cooperation in the new realities. Hybrid warfare strategies have become one of these realities.
Came, saw, landed: "Chandrayan-3" began to explore the Earth's satellite
Why is Russia interested in the success of the Indian space expedition
On August 23, the landing module of the Indian automatic station "Chandrayan-3" landed safely on the surface of the Moon. He landed near the South Pole — about the same place where two days earlier Russian experts had expected to land Luna-25.
A repeated attempt to launch a reconnaissance satellite of the DPRK was unsuccessful
Pyongyang's repeated attempt to launch a reconnaissance satellite of the DPRK again proved unsuccessful. But North Korea does not intend to deviate from its plans and will try to launch a spy spacecraft again in October.
India on the Moon: how the country learned from failures and did the incredible
India has become the fourth country to successfully land a spacecraft on the moon, writes El País. The publication tells how she managed it and what kind of research the Pragyan device will conduct.
American engineers proposed to build a Maglev on the moon
When creating lunar bases, it will be necessary to solve the problem of cargo transportation on the surface of the Moon. American engineers have proposed a very interesting solution to this problem – a magnetic levitation system, the basis of which are tracks rolled on the lunar surface.
The Indian station successfully landed on the moon.
This happened four days after the crash of the Russian Luna-25
The journey from Earth to the Moon at Chandrayaan-3 took about 40 days On Wednesday, August 23, the Indian automatic interplanetary station (AMS) Chandrayaan-3 made a successful landing on the surface of the Moon. The live broadcast of the descent was conducted by the Indian Space Research Organization. You can watch it on YouTube.
Indian automatic station "Chandrayan-3" transmitted footage of the lunar surface
India has literally burst into a small club of powers with technologies for space exploration. Moreover, they did not bother with trifles in New Delhi and immediately began implementing one of the most difficult projects in the history of the entire world cosmonautics, launching the first lunar mission "Chandrayan-1" in 2008.
The ROS orbital station plans to study the influence of space conditions on living systems
The researchers also expect to test a laser optical communication terminal on the Russian space station
The National Center for Physics and Mathematics (NCFM) plans to conduct scientific experiments using the capabilities of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS), which will speed up technology transfer. The research will concern the impact of space processes on living systems, as well as laser space communications and quantum technologies, Scientific director of the NCFM Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Sergeev told reporters on the sidelines of the Technoprom forum.
Chandrayan-3 successfully landed on the moon with a planetary rover on board
This is the first soft landing on another celestial body for India, which became the fourth country that was able to implement such a thing on an Earth satellite. In addition, this is the first landing in the circumpolar region of Selenium, where the soil is rich in water ice.
Scientists have found out how many people will be needed at the Martian base and who should not be taken on such a flight
American mathematicians conducted a simulation of the long-term life of the crew of an inhabited base on the Red Planet. The simulation showed that a stable functioning of the mission would require a team of 22 people, unless there were neurotics among them.
Russia will create a new design of self-healing material for spacesuits
The Keldysh Center has moved to the development of cellular material instead of layered, said the general director of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov
The Keldysh Center (a developer of the material, part of Roscosmos) will create a new design of self-healing material that will be used in Russian spacesuits. This was reported to TASS by the general director of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov.
One of the reasons for the failure of Luna-25 was called the interruption of the lunar program for almost 50 years
The General Director of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, said that it is impossible to interrupt the program again in any case
The interruption of the Russian lunar exploration program for almost half a century was one of the reasons for the failure of the Luna-25 mission, it is impossible to interrupt the program again in any case, Roscosmos CEO Yuri Borisov said in an interview with Rossiya-24 TV channel.
Russia is working on a perpetual motion machine for satellites, but there are nuances
MAI specialists, together with their colleagues from Moscow State University, are developing a promising engine for satellites operating at altitudes of about 200 km. The thrust of this power plant will be created through the use of atmospheric gases — nitrogen and oxygen, which are still present in such a low orbit.
Roscosmos explained why Luna-25 died
According to the head of the state corporation, the accident happened because the engine was running too long. Normally, this happens with software errors, although other versions are also difficult to exclude. Yuri Borisov called the more common cause of problems with the device the one that Naked Science wrote about in detail earlier.
