kerbiloid Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 https://www.interfax.ru/russia/786230 NPO Lavochkin faces some issues during the fire tests of Luna-25 (to be launched in 2022). It will require additional time for debugging. Though, all main propulsion components (engines, tanks) work good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: "Well, yeah, but I'd rather not comment to avoid harming bilateral relations." Q: "But, a medical matter - was it what I read with them?" (ed. - ?) A: *nods* There goes plausible deniability on behalf of Roscosmos, I guess. Edited August 24, 2021 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal opinion, not an official statement by Roscosmos, so it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we would like to invite Mr. Branson, Mr. Bezos..." (the implication of 'who we respect' and the location of the period in the sentence.)

And since I can assure you such interviews are submitted for approval and minor touch-up by their subjects before being put to print, someone was very careful with that comma.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Not exactly a Russian launch product (or is it...???) - but this was filmed in Russia and is pretty cool: Mystery ‘jellyfish-shaped object’ filmed ‘entering atmosphere’ over Russia (the-sun.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen F9s do that too. I think I can even see the cross-shaped disturbance due to impingement of the four plumes from the Soyuz engines. Stated dayte is July 1 (see description) Spoiler It means a OneWeb launch from Vostochnyi, alright. Edited August 26, 2021 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
