kerbiloid Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) https://www.interfax.ru/russia/771877 The Executive Director for the Crewed Programs of Roscosmos Sergei Krikalyov has left his post and become an Adviser of its CEO. New Executive Director is Alexander Bloshenko, the former Director for Science, Krikalyov was the last cosmonaut among the Roscosmos tops. *** Other sources tell that Krikalyov confirmed the assumptions that he is dismissed du to his disagreement with the planned filming of the first real space movie. He presumes that it would be better to do moar science instead. Spoiler Imho, the science will not run away, but the first space movie can be only once in the Universe history. P.S. Unless we presume it's pulsating. P.P.S. On the other hand, if the Universe is pulsating, it's even more important to film it, otherwise on every Universe reborn, Tom Cruise will be the first actor in the space again and again.

RCgothic Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 As per usual, I'll believe it when it's on the pad. Roscosmos is long on plans and renders, short on development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've shown isogrid hull sections, they've got the boosteed RD-171MV halfway through the testing program, they've even cut metal for Oryol without the design neing properly finalized.

It’s an old design, from at least 2016. The engine is an upgraded engine from Energia boosters, they did some static fire tests. Upper stage will use the same engine as Soyuz-2. Rogozin speaks about the rocket on every talk or interview, that it’s a next generation launcher that will replace Soyuz rockets. Obviously, there’s nothing “next gen” about it, it’s not even partially reusable. Amur is FAR more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.50calBMG Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Zenit has been a pretty reliable launcher AFAIK, so nothing really wrong with modernizing it a la Soyuz. Then again, claiming it as a next generation rocket seems a bit dubious. Kinda like saying Iran's Saeqeh is a completely new plane. Everyone knows they are lying, but its good for PR.

You say "lying", I say "speak perfect bureaucratese". That's on top of "generation" being ill-defined and usually defined in a nation-specific way, often amounting to "the next model we have adopted". It's also not impossible, if difficult, to push an airframe into the next commonly recognized fighter generation, although it may require pretty radical upgrades, such as MiG-21-97 with a MiG-29's engine.

DDE Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Mixed signals whether the recent NOTAMs at Plesetsk were the test of Sarmat or a hitherto unreported Osina-RV ICBM. https://avia.pro/news/pervyy-pusk-rakety-sarmat-sostoitsya-v-techenie-sutok https://avia.pro/news/v-rossii-vedutsya-razrabotki-raketnogo-kompleksa-15p182-osina-rv In the former case, lack of official bluster would be puzzling.

kerbiloid Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) https://www.interfax.ru/russia/772383 The Director of the Institute of Biomedical Problems, Oleg Orlov, stated that in future they are going to study the childbirth in space. The regeneration and fertility of the gametes, the embryo development, etc, let alone the childbirth process itself. The modern studies show significant problems for the embryo, especially in the hypomagnetic environment. "In deep space the absence of magnetic field is very important. In this conditions the embryo faces very significant development problems, especially in cardiovascular system". The experiments also show that similar defects present in next generations of the test animals. "We have seen that the third generation has even more marked changes than the first one". *** The Martian and Venusian colonies kinda oops.
