DDE Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 5 hours ago, SunlitZelkova said: Clean up on Isle Russian Launch and Mission thread What's worse is that a meaningful assessment of the Russian economy would have to wait until autumn, when the supply chain disruption really hits the fan. And a discussion of Russia's military performance some people seem to be itching for would leave the forum smelling like a meat locker after three weeks without power. The sheer amount of alternative facts both sides can clash over would cause a singularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Quote Lev Zeleniy, the academic director of Space Research institute (IKI) spoke out against the unauthorized activation of #eROSITA: "Our institute - all the scientists - categorically object to this. This objection is both for political and technical reasons". https://t.co/R1FEe9oFka pic.twitter.com/YtzyLJXjlt An attempt to hope that things will normalize soon, and the telescope will be switched on nicely and officially. (So, the persons who did that, wouldn't be sanctionized). Otherwise why be afraid of damaging it when it's anyway a deadweight without working.

SunlitZelkova Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) If William Nelson is “Ballast Bill”, can we call Rogozin “Deadweight Dmitry”? EDIT- Nope. This is what happens with low sleep Edited June 8, 2022 by SunlitZelkova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatastrophicFailure Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 More stuff like this, Roscosmos. Can’t tell if it’s the editing or it just breaks apart that soon after deployment. They sure won’t be reusing any tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an... interesting choice of a phrase to write on a fairing that you throw away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Apparently the old 2016-2025 Federal Space Program included a feasibility study for an "Avangard (Pilot) - MKKK", a spaceplane, funded to the tune of RUB 440 mln. I'm learning that because an IT supplier is getting razzled for supplying the project with non-functional software to the tune of 27 mln. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5436900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody was playing modded KSP spaceplane and recognized the project parts between the stock ones. Or they were using in the project the Sabre engines and an asparagus-like launch booster.

I actually have thought about making a suggestion for space combat on that, as it would be viable considering drones may be around the corner. There aren’t many proposals and they are almost all paper, but tech tree would be about the size of the helicopter ones anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Yuri Borisov, deputy prime minister for the defense complex, may "retire" into leading Roscosmos. Rogozin's fate isn't even discussed yet https://www.rbc.ru/politics/12/07/2022/62cdcf469a79474c073b7022 Important to note that this can all be rumormongering ahead of extraordinary sessions of both chambers of Parliament. Edit: some sources speculate that Rogozin will be sent off to a posting in the, ahem, new territories, but this is pure speculation according to the source voicing it. https://www.vedomosti.ru/business/articles/2022/07/12/931039-v-pravitelstve-obsuzhdayut-otstavku-borisova Edited July 13, 2022 by DDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like they are too happy with his performance, then. Receiving a post in an active warzone is hardly a promotion over a cushy administration position of a prestigious state agency. It's almost as if they want to set him up for a fall, to put it like that ... "Comrade, seeing your success leading the space agency, we are promoting you to a special operator role. Here is your flintlock pistol, your flag, and your fluorescent orange jumpsuit. Now sprint across the open fields over there and destroy the enemy brigade entrenched there. We will await your glorious return." Edited July 13, 2022 by Codraroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
