group of Russian engineers and enthusiasts Space to launch into lunar orbit satellite to photograph are on the lunar surface traces of astronauts, the American spacecraft “Apollo” and the Soviet “Moon rovers,” said project initiator Vitaly Egorov.
«On the Russian kraudfandingovoy platform” Bumstarter »(Boomstarter) October 1 page is open to raise funds for the project microsatellite for launch to lunar orbit and photography tracks down persons and rovers” – told RIA “News” Egorov .
According to him, the theoretical study and mathematical calculations that will help to define the basic characteristics of the spacecraft, will require at least 1 million rubles.
«We will try to create a project of the satellite low weight and low cost, that it was for the forces of non-governmental associations of professional engineers and enthusiasts who do not have multi-billion dollar budget. Running simultaneously assume one of lunar vehicles that run Russia, India or China. This will not think about expensive launch vehicle, which is necessary for a fully self-start “, – said Yegorov.
He said that from a scientific point of view of the moon – a fairly well-studied object. One of the most interesting sites on the surface are the American lunar module Apollo, the Soviet “Moon rovers” and sets “Moon.”
«why we chose it is their goal of his program. Discussions about a manned flight to the Moon not subside with age. Moon race – an important part of national history, so surprising interest in this issue in Russia. Before us, and Apollo, and the “Lunokhod” were taken only US satellite LRO, and to remove all doubt necessary to repeat the survey in even higher quality. This problem is non-governmental associations have not yet been solved, and we deliberately go to such complexity – the only way we can do in space is something really outstanding, “- said the engineer.
