sh1pman Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Quote MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia plans to create a long-term man-visited base on the Earth's natural satellite and study the moon with the help of robot avatars as part of its lunar program, Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin told Sputnik. https://sputniknews.com/science/201811061069536620-russia-moon-base-creation-robots-avatars/ At first I got all excited, but then I realized that it's Russia we're talking about...

Look, Rogozin even mentioned the elephant in the room (more expensive than Apollo)! Anyway, I'm locked out of Reddit (sounds way too coincidental, I guess the Kremlin owes me a lot for tactical excrementsposting), so you'll have to substitute for r/space. https://www.interfax.ru/world/636643 One of Zvezda's three main computers has crashed, still down as of three hours ago. https://ria.ru/science/20181106/1532172710.html Roscosmos may install CCTV on the Russian segment to track the movements of cosmonauts and astronauts. https://ria.ru/space/20181104/1532121604.html Progress MS-10's booster is to have the sensor pins replaced entirely, despite being cleared for flight.

DDE Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 4 hours ago, MaverickSawyer said: Soooo... in other words, never. Never was much of a priority. Plus, it would be the pad for the superheavy, not the Soyuz-5. Basic land survey for that pad began about a week ago. On an unrelated note, Roscosmos is in serious trouble. Its name is OneWeb. There’s a contract for 21 Soyuz, a possible contract for 5 Protons, and an option for further 8. But then the FSB declares OneWeb a national security threat, since it ‘cannot exclude reconnaissance capability’. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3798322 The truth is much simpler: OneWeb isn’t going to integrate the SORM traffic snoopers (likely to be supplemented with DPI in the nearest future), thus putting the traffic out of reach of Russia’s ‘Internet sovereignty’ measures. The frequency allocation authority is similarily dragging is heels. Problem is, this obstruction is utterly inconsequential to OneWeb. My own anonymous sauces say the FSB has already considered blanket-jamming all OneWeb signals in Russian territory, but the pricetag does not look good.
