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 ... Well, it is a promotion for Borisov (exact same career track as Rogozin). And there's been plenty of officials yanked from regions and either appointed with LDNR or working as part of 'military-civilian administrations' in non-LDNR areas. Meanwhile, rumor mill says Rogozin will get overall control as the Presidential Representative for the hitherto-unnamed new ninth federal district.

Huh, I guess some experience with rocketry would be nice to have, in a position so exposed to their receiving end. Seems to me that they're looking to send somebody "high up" for the prestige of the position, but not somebody indispensable, in case things go sour for the person in question. Gotta wonder if Rogozin wants the position (having spouted the government line so much he might actually believe himself to be safe) or if he simply doesn't have the clout to negotiate his way out of it.

The previous one (with journalist / PR background) who was successfully ruling in the stand-by phase, leaves the post, and has been promoted to the March District governor. Spoiler Btw, about the "unnamed districts". District 13 was graphite (i.e. carbon) mining. (Obviously, it's a promotion.)

DDE Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Given that Borisov is not in the best of health, it's entirely likely that we'll see Denis Manturov take this post in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will mount an additional adaptor for the arm. Artemyev will wear the Orlan-MKS with red strips, Cristoforetti - Orlan-MKS with blue strips. Also they will launch ten microsats made by the students of Ryazan and Kursk universities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to imagine your replacement doing a better job of embodying Roscosmos' (and Russia's) level of professionalism, integrity, technical achievement, and future contributions to spaceflight than you did. While once Roscosmos may have been different, they truly came to reflect your strong character qualities during your (and Putin's) leadership. You helped us all learn the true nature of Russia, and what you are capable of contributing to the rest of the world. You're not the Roscosmos leader Russia needed, but you were the one they deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The thing I can't recall is when Russia owed a "contribution to the rest of the world", especially to one of numerous near-IT internet magazines (Ars Technica, if I spell the first word right), and how many countries is able to contribute more. *** Meanwhile, the EVA session on ISS has been finished. https://www-interfax-ru.translate.goog/world/853344?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru After the manual microsat launch seeding, Artemyev and Cristoforetti have switched EMMI control panel (for EVA control of ERA) into stand-by mode, and moved the adaptor platform from the BTP-2 passive attachment node on Poisk to the BTP-2 node on Nauka. Next time this platform will be reattached to the docking module Rassvet. They didn't have time to set locks on the GStM-1 and GStM-2 booms as it was planned, and to extend GStM-2 from Zarya to Poisk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This “contribution to the world/humanity” thing in the English speaking world is a mere optional rating of what countries contribute to the global community, not a debt or demand. Example- Switzerland “contributes to the world” by hosting the LHC, but that’s just a compliment, not a debt Switzerland owes. The Ars commenter added sarcasm to… do what he did.

The question is kind of open, and I'm also worried that I may have picked the wrong preposition. Since it's Borisov talking to Putin, we didn't exactly get an explainer.

DDE Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 ROSS inforgraphics with the kind of details that make it look more relevant than usual. https://t.me/roscosmos_gk/5971 Namely Phase 1 being supported entirely by two-seat Soyuzes. As reasonably expected, no pieces of the ISS present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
