The participants of the round table “Development of the nearest planets,” came to the conclusion that the aerospace industry is ready to develop programs for Space Studies.
The representative of the Russian Space Agency, Yuri Makarov announced ambitious plans for the agency for the next 10 years. The main emphasis is on the development of the moon.
To exit from Earth orbit to replace manned “Soyuz” comes more promising transport ship. Model of the future transporter was presented RSC “Energia” at Air Show “MAKS-2013″ in August last year. The estimated project cost 160 billion. Rubles. Flight testing of the ship will be held in 2020 with the launch vehicle “Angara”. It is expected that the launch will happen to the cosmodrome “East” in the Amur region, the construction of which will end in 2018.
The Director of the Institute of Space Research Leo Green believes that Russia will be able to carry out the landing of astronauts on the moon at the end of the next decade. To do this, a number of projects Luna 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 landing area must meet certain required criteria. The site should be in the line of sight of the Earth. Also, at a depth of not less than 1.5 m from the surface of the water should be. Most of these requirements correspond to the area of the South Pole of the moon.
Scientists predict a lunar space station in the 2030′s. In the 2040′s will be built landing station. In the 2050s will earn a full moon base and an observatory. For the operation of the infrastructure will be deployed solar arrays.
The next step will be the development of other planets in the solar system. Perhaps in 2040, the ninth year people will visit Mars. And there, and to Mercury at hand.
