MOSCOW, December 29. / TASS /. The refusal of the state corporation “Roscosmos” the majority of projects relating to the moon, will not affect the studies by Russian scientists satellite. Told Tass deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI) Oleg Korablev.
“Yes, Roscosmos refused most manned projects on the Moon. It is important that in the Federal Space Program (FCP) for 2016 -2025 years, save the automatic program to study the Earth’s satellite. Therefore, the rejection of most manned space programs will not affect the conduct of investigations of the Moon “- Korablev said.
According to him, Russian scientists plan to implement five automatic programs Research satellite as part of the FPC on the years 2016-2025.
“The position of our institution has always been that the majority of space research can be conducted in space using automatic devices. In particular, we plan to investigate the Earth’s satellite via the lander, “Luna-25″, then we plan to launch the orbiter “Luna-26″, a perfect polar apparatus “Luna-27″ by means of which will be produced on Earth returned lunar soil, and then we will launch a lunar rover. As you can see, all the automatic projects will be implemented, “- said Korablev.
He said that next year will continue to prepare for the launch to the moon the first three sets.” The launch of the first “Moon” is scheduled for 2018 a year “- said the scientist.
According to him, the Moon” good has been investigated in the framework of the program “Apollo”, but since then “has already passed a lot of time.” “So now a new surge of interest among scientists from different countries to the satellite of the Earth. There is a new scientific view. On the results of the studies, which were received in 1970, I want to look at the other side. Therefore, the Moon is now once again attractive for the world science”, – Korablev said.
Earlier media reported that almost all of the projects relating to manned flights to the moon, there is no new version of the Federal Space Program (FCP) in the years 2016-2025, prepared by the Russian Space Agency after the budget sequester .
At the moment, Russian scientists are exploring technologies that will help them to use the ice from the moon to create hydrogen rocket fuel. This previously TASS doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, head of the department of nuclear planetary IKI Igor Mitrofanov. According to him, in the orbit of the moon Russian LEND instrument explores the pole satellite, which are concentrated deposits of ice. Studies have shown that there is enough hydrogen, for example, to use it in the manufacture of hydrogen propellant. The ice from the moon can also be used to create new life-support systems for R & D bases to be built on the surface of the Earth’s satellite. “With a ton of lunar regolith (local ground) you can heat the water bucket. Therefore, the ice can be used to generate oxygen and water. Having mastered the technology, we are able to create new life-support systems for lunar research base. Thus, we do not have to deliver them water and oxygen from the earth, “- said Mitrofanov. According to him, over the development of these technologies are now working Russian scientists.
