Dmitry Rogozin said the words, expressed in the speech at the college of Industry and Trade. Then vice-premier said that the Russian space industry lags behind the US in nine times, and if things go on like this, we will never catch up with the United States. According to the revised version Rogozin meant not all indicators, but only productivity. His thoughts about throwing Rogozin and the situation in the industry shared with us astronautics historian Vadim Lukashevich.
«Complementing” his statement, Rogozin said that we, for example, ahead of States in the construction of rocket-space engines. We asked Vadim Lukashevich as refined Rogozin picture corresponds to reality.

– We lag behind Americans in almost all respects. . First of all, in terms of capital investment
Look, our federal space program (until 2025) allocated the amount that America spends on space for 6-7 months. The only exception – engine building: they still buy our engine, although it was developing a replacement
Yes, we still we carry American astronauts to the ISS.. But soon we will carry only themselves. Either this or the next year, they need to run their new manned spacecraft Dragon.
Moreover, Elon Musk (founder of SpaceX – «MK”) at the end of this year is to launch its heavyweight rocket that able to place in orbit around 50 tons of cargo. Our new “Angara”, “Angara-A5V”, which will fly after 2025, will have a significantly lower load capacity.
The American projects can be listed for a long time. Suffice it to say that Mars has two American rovers, we all remember the pictures from Pluto … And our most brilliant project “Phobos-Grunt”, not fall within the Earth’s orbit.
Even a segment of the ISS and that we could not finish – the only ones of all project participants. So we do not launched any energy or research units. Although the build for 15 years. It’s funny.
I’m not talking about “private space”, which we have virtually none. He was not allowed to develop. In America, it is privately owned, Elon Musk, puts the task of a flight to Mars. By the way, in our federal program generally removed heavyweight rocket, designed for missions to the moon and other planets. Talk is, and no money. The only thing we are clearly superior to the Americans – in balabolstve people governing astronautics
-. The commissioning of the cosmodrome “East” does not reduce our backlog
? – This is not the spaceport, just launch complex. It has the infrastructure to launch a rocket – a launch pad, one assembly and test building. That is, it is actually a polygon.
The real spaceport “East” will be, when it will be possible to run multiple types of rockets, and this will not be another 5-6-7 years.
– it is true, by the way, that “the East” – the most expensive in the world spaceport history
-? I myself was not engaged in calculations, but many experts say that it is true. And it seems to be true. We’ve expensive everything, because still the same, and “sawing»
-. And the reason for such a monstrous gap in labor productivity
-? K Unfortunately, in this regard, we have always been worse than America. This other technology design, assembly, test … So, what have mask cope 2-3 people, “the Khrunichev Center” makes 40
-. Of course, “a multiple of” is difficult to assess and in the years, in your opinion, to what extent we are still lagging behind
– well, first Rogozin very rightly said: in the current development paradigm, we have lagged behind forever …
