Teilnehmer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) For a change, a bit of nice footage from on-board cams of the Egyptsat-A satellite made by Roscosmos for Egypt government. The СПД-70 Hall-effect plasma thrusters look great! Edited April 10, 2019 by Teilnehmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Knowing the audience of the tabloid interviewing him, Rogozin alludes to “unlikely” military purposes of the US return to the Moon. https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/5caeed049a7947b67c01b8d5 My sides are an orbital launch system.
