In the next ten years is possible to restart space apprat “Phobos-Grunt”.

As the director of the Institute of Space Studies of RAS Leo Green, 2016-2025 years on immediate priorities for Russia will study the Moon and Mars.

In particular, in 2016 and 2018 in conjunction with the Federal Space Agency European Space Agency will be engaged in the implementation of the two phases of the mission “Ekzomars.” In 2016, planned jointly with Europe and Japan participated in the project BepiColombo. For 2017 is planned orbiting space telescope “Spektr-RG”. And already in 2019 will go to the moon first in many years, the Russian lunar vehicle “Luna-Glob”. Also in the following years, is scheduled to launch space observatory capable of operating in the ultraviolet range, and launch to orbit the Moon and lander project “Luna-Resource”.

Once all steps planned exploration of the Moon and Mars are complete, and technology developed, in 2024, may be held by a repetition of the experiment using the delivery spacecraft “Phobos-Grunt” soil samples to Earth by satellite Phobos Red Planet, said “ITAR-TASS”.

yet the federal space program for 2016-2025 years, pending approval, but we hope that it will be spelled resumption experiments. Many of the questions I would like to explore more in the course of these experiments – the director of the Institute of Biomedical Problems, Igor Ushakov, implying the possibility of a repetition of experiments similar to the program “Mars-500″ (simulation of a manned flight to Mars).
