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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And will the death of the device affect the implementation of Russian satellite research programs

The reason for the death of Luna-25 could be flaws in the flight software caused by the haste at the stage of its preparation in the desire to get ahead of the Indian station Chandrayan-3, two sources of Izvestia in the space industry said.

Vladimir Koshlakov, General Director of the M. V. Keldysh Center, said that work on the preparation of the experiment is being carried out jointly with the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center

Tests of self-healing material on board the International Space Station (ISS) will take place in two stages. This was reported to TASS by Vladimir Koshlakov, General Director of the M. V. Keldysh Center (developer of the material, part of Roscosmos).

The International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2023" completed its work in the Moscow region on August 20. During the seven days of the forum, its events were attended by 1 million 93 thousand 285 people.

The Chandrayan-2 mission orbital station has been in lunar orbit since 2019

The landing module of the Indian lunar mission "Chandrayan-3" has successfully established contact with the Chandrayan-2 orbital station, providing Indian specialists with an additional communication channel with the spacecraft preparing for landing. This was reported by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

Roscosmos reported on August 20 that, according to preliminary data, the Luna-25 automatic station moved into an uncountable orbit and collided with the surface of the Moon

TASS-DOSSIER. August 20, 2023 Roscosmos reported that, according to preliminary data, the Luna-25 automatic station moved into an uncountable orbit and collided with the surface of the Moon. In total, since 2018, 12 space launches have taken place in the world with 18 missions, the purpose of which was to explore the Moon. At the same time, nine missions (including Luna-25) were partially or completely unsuccessful.

The Russian automatic interplanetary station Luna-25 entered an uncountable orbit and collided with the surface of a natural satellite of the Earth. This was reported by Roscosmos with reference to the results of the preliminary analysis.

The accident was the result of yesterday's launch of the spacecraft into an uncalculated orbit, after the incorrect issuance of a braking pulse at 14:10 on August 19, 2023. Meanwhile, the more general reasons for the death of the station are somewhat different.

As scientists note, the collected information is an important step towards unraveling the nature of galactic cosmic rays.

TASS, August 18. Astronomers have discovered with the help of the Spectrum-RG orbital observatory that the young cluster of stars Westerlund 2 emits powerful streams of X-ray radiation as a result of the collision of stellar winds and the acceleration of electrons in them to ultrahigh energies.

How new technology for low-orbit groupings will help to provide the Internet to the whole Earth

Russian designers are developing a propulsion system for satellites designed to operate in low orbits. At an altitude of about 200 km, there are still remnants of the atmosphere that causes resistance, so the spacecraft engine must work continuously.

Experts stated that they do not have basic security systems

Orbital satellites may be completely defenseless against remote capture by hackers — experts have warned about this. According to their data, many of the spacecraft are deprived of even the most basic security systems. Read more about why satellites in orbit turned out to be vulnerable to cybercriminals and what this can lead to in the Izvestia article.

The Institute for Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences has completed an express analysis of telemetry and measurement data of scientific instruments on board the Luna-25 automatic station, performed on August 13, 2023 in two sessions of the first inclusions at a distance of about 310 thousand km from Earth.

Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation - Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov took part in the plenary session of the Army-2023 forum on August 14.

In 2023, the exhibition exposition of the International Military-Technical Forum "Army" provides for many novelties and features.

For the first time since 1976, Russia launched a rocket to the moon, Anadolu reports. The mission will last approximately one year. In this regard, the correspondents of the Turkish news agency remind us what successes Russia has achieved in space exploration.

Johannes Willbold, a doctoral student at the Ruhr University in Bochum (Germany), spoke at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas and shared the results of studying three types of orbital equipment. As it turned out, many satellites lack adequate means of protection against remote hacking — they lack even basic security measures.
