I'm only in Spanish III, I don't know that many space words, only espacio (space) and coheta (rocket) because I looked them up. The closest thing I could come to the original question was "Puedo mirar el cohete despegar al espacio en quince minutos?" which roughly translates to "Can I watch the rocket take off to space in 15 minutes?" Trying to talk about the abort in Spanish would be a nightmare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 They say that Energy Corp. has deisgned a 3.5 t capable cargo ship to deliver supplies to ISS.

RedKraken Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Irtysh. http://www.russianspaceweb.com/index.html Unrelated but super interesting : Soyuz control software described by one of the developers (gosha_space) : https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=46594.0 The control system of Soyuz-TM is written in Fortran and Algol. Soyuz-TMA (and TMA-M) in Assembler (45,000 lines) and Pascal (37,000 lines). Real-time operating systems are used only in simulators in the Cosmonauts Training Center (Linux-based QNX). The station for testing the Union (there is a program on the RSK1 computer) also uses a real-time OS based on Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Rogozin: no nation is capable of handling a quote-unquote moon program alone today, therefore cooperation Also Rogozin: our job’s to check whether the Americans have actually been to the moon Rogozin’s seriousness: presense unknown https://ria.ru/science/20181124/1533425056.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDE Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Roscosmos wants to include Marathon into the Sphera megaconstellation project. They think that voice comms are already taken, and the regular Internet will be taken by the time they’ll be rolling out, so they think a dedicated constellation for the Internet of Things is their niche. https://ria.ru/science/20181125/1533449358.html Meanwhile, it seems that Sphera is becoming a blanket term for Russia’s entire non-military and dual-use orbital group, including GLONASS.

Not what the polls show, and utterly unsurprising given that anti-Americanism found in the tabloids and in the kitchens far exceeds that found on federal TV. We’re talking a catastrophic shortage of tinfoil. Among the sadomasochistics that trawl the worst bowels of the Internet, Russian conspiracy theories are regarded as the apex of kookiness, buttressed by appeals to classified Soviet research. And that’s before we discuss the late 1980s-1990s, when all sorts of junk got government endorsement.
