Russia plans to carry out the second test launch of the newest heavy intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) "Sarmat" by the end of 2022.

Mikhail Kotov — about China's experience in creating a national orbital station and Russia's plans for the ROS

China has completed the assembly of its Tiangong space station in Earth orbit. Launched last week, the experimental module "Mengtian" successfully docked with the side port of the main module "Tianhe". The astronauts on the station, after all the checks, opened the hatch of the new module and went inside.

The head of Roscosmos stated that in 2022 a mechanism for implementing the agreement on the creation of a common orbital grouping of Earth remote sensing spacecraft was created

The implementation of the agreement on the creation of a common orbital grouping of remote sensing spacecraft of the BRICS countries will ensure their sustainable socio-economic development. This was stated by the head of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, at a meeting of the heads of the space departments of the countries of the association, as quoted by the press service of the state corporation.

Russian Andrey Fedyaev will soon go to the International Space Station together with an international crew. The date of delivery to the ISS of the Russian cosmonaut, which will be carried out on the American Crew Dragon manned spacecraft, has already been announced.

The press service of Perm National Research Polytechnic University reported that the new method allows to reduce the power consumption of the equipment, and to provide a high level of fault tolerance.

Washington, amid the actions of Elon Musk, sends SATCOM satellite antennas to Kiev

The United States has announced that it will send SATCOM satellite communication antennas to Ukraine, which can work without Elon Musk's Starlink network.

The experimental module "Mengtian" successfully docked with the side port of the main module "Tianhe"

China's space station on Thursday assumed its final T-shape after assembly work. This was reported by the Administration of the Manned Space Flight Program of China.

The trained algorithms are incredibly effective in detecting non-obvious relationships in complex systems or signs of approaching events that are invisible at first glance. Therefore, they are increasingly being used to analyze the telemetry of remote equipment in order to respond to possible failures in advance. A logical field of application is cosmonautics, where predicting any incidents will give operators on Earth precious time to plan a response.

Recently, the United States announced the completion of the preparation of a Strategic Analysis of the situation in Outer Space.
