"Russian Space Systems" will develop the latest technologies for drones and aviation

The development of new domestic unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with a take-off weight of up to 30 kg in partnership with the leaders of the Russian market of space instrumentation, avionics and ground-based aviation equipment is being launched by the Russian Space Systems Holding (RKS, part of the Roscosmos State Corporation).

Expert Zheleznyakov: the era of space for man began thanks to the Soviet rocket R-7

The world's first rocket that flew to an intercontinental range, the Soviet R-7, was used as a weapon for a short time, but it was thanks to it that the space age of mankind began, and upgraded versions of the R-7 are still flying into space, expert, cosmonautics historian Alexander Zheleznyakov told RIA Novosti.

According to the world-famous scientist, Russia's participation in international space projects will be limited to the International Space Station. And given the recently announced exit of Roscosmos from the ISS, further prospects are vague.

The spacecraft is located in interstellar space

TASS, August 20.

Military observer of the Newspaper.En" Mikhail Khodarenok explains why the country needs them - and how the stations will close the gaps left after the collapse of the USSR.

An international team of researchers has developed a new way to produce oxygen on the Red Planet using gases from the local atmosphere and cold plasma. The technology can play a crucial role in the development of human life support systems, since it allows you to get a lot of oxygen for breathing, the production of rocket fuel, fertilizers and building materials with minimal equipment weight.

On August 16, the Head of the Main Department of Innovative Development of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Alexander Osadchuk, summed up the results of the first day of the work of the Army-2022 MVTF at a briefing for journalists.

With the planning of long-term missions to the Moon and Mars, humanity is increasingly faced with the question of providing astronauts with oxygen for breathing. Currently, keeping people breathing on board space stations is a complex and expensive process, so more advanced technologies will be required for future travel in the cosmic abyss.

The Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle launched yesterday delivered a number of satellites to the calculated orbit, including CUBESX-HSE-2 vehicles, as well as SXC3-214 MIET-AIS, which received engines based on the plasma of the new VERA development and created in Russia by MEPhI engineers.

Mikhail Kotov — about what went from Baikonur together with the Khayyam satellite

The Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with the Fregat upper stage launched on Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. It launched the Khayyam satellite, built in Russia by order of Iran, and 16 small spacecraft into the orbit of our planet. The latter are micro- and nanosatellites created by leading universities, commercial companies and non-profit organizations.

The satellites will be used to obtain data on the Earth's surface and observe the atmosphere of our planet

China successfully launched 10 Jilin-1 Gaofen-03D remote sensing satellites and six Yunyao spacecraft into orbit on Wednesday. This was announced by the Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Initially looking promising, the Antares launch vehicle has become quite problematic in recent years. Its creation required the cooperation of the United States, Ukraine and Russia, which is practically impossible in the light of the current geopolitical situation. The solution to the problem will be the transition from Russian engines to those created in America. And the key role in it will be played partly by the Ukrainian company Firefly Aerospace.

When a country decides to test anti-satellite missiles and shoots down its old spacecraft in orbit, the world community immediately condemns it. They say that you increase the amount of space debris for nothing and create a danger for the peaceful use of near-Earth space! Such public statements once again fuel the fear of the notorious Kessler syndrome.

According to the Head of the Department of Space Sciences of the D. V. Skobeltsyn Research Institute of Nuclear Physics (NIIYAF) The Moscow State University of Vladimir Kalegaev, the violation of scientific ties will lead to a slowdown in world development, from which everyone will suffer.

It is expected that the new Antares 330 rocket will be completely American

The American corporation Northrop Grumman has signed an agreement with the American company Firefly Aerospace with the aim of upgrading the first stage of the Antares rocket and replacing Russian engines with American ones on it. This is stated in a message published on Monday by Northrop Grumman.
