It seems that there is a crisis in the Russian space industry. Such thoughts begin to visit after the statement made by Sergei Krikalev, that in the near future the Russian Federation does not have the opportunity to begin developing a new manned spacecraft.
The Director TsNIIMASH on flights into space with manned spacecraft, at a recent meeting Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation said that if not urgently be adopted stringent measures, then a new ship for Russia can successfully forget.
The urgent need for the development of manned spacecraft to replace the “oldies”, “Union” has arisen in our country 10 years ago. Were conducted attempts to create such projects. By 2011, the pilot managed to construct the layout of the ship “Energy”, which showed President Vladimir Putin. The creators claimed that already in 2018 provided the first ready-to-manned flight option. At the same year and was appointed its first flight with a crew on board.
But today we have not comforting situation. No talk about the launch of “Energy” in 2018 is no longer maintained. To accomplish this mission again use become “indispensable” for the old Russian “Soyuz”. Start will be held from the Baikonur “Oriental».
