After a year-long experiment with the participation of American astronauts, the Kelly twin brothers, one of whom spent a year on the ISS, and the other was observed here on Earth all this time, scientists came to the conclusion that in long-term space expeditions, the human body can get younger.

A person has been flying into orbit for more than half a century, however, scientists do not know everything about how space affects the body, and this is very important for flights to Mars and other planets.

In addition to the advantages of rejuvenation, there are many disadvantages in long-term expeditions: astronauts lose their eyesight in orbit, experience calcium deficiency and muscle atrophy.

But the main question is rather psychological, because astronauts miss not only their loved ones, but also their home planet as a whole.

However, all these issues can be solved.

The problem of cosmic radiation is still the most difficult.

Interview: Mikhail Kornienko, Valery Polyakov, Fedor Yurchikhin, psychologist of the Mars-500 project Olga Shevchenko, Vyacheslav Shurshakov.

The closest comet that has ever approached the Earth is Lexel's comet.

In 1770, it passed at a distance of 2 million km from the surface of our planet.

The comet was discovered by Charles Messier, however, it was named after the Russian astronomer Andrei Ivanovich Veksel, who accurately determined its orbit.

After that, the comet was no longer seen, it is considered lost.

Rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy visited the Gagarin CPC.

MSU and CPC are united by a large scientific work.

In the near future, an international experiment "Vector-MBI-1" will be conducted on board the ISS with the participation of MSU scientists, and in the new academic year, the university students will receive a new faculty of space research.

The plot starred the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy, the head of the Laboratory of Sensory Neurophysiology of the University of Puebla (Mexico) Enrique Soto, cosmonauts Yuri Lonchakov and Sergey Ryazansky.

A new module of the ISS "Nauka" is planned to be sent into orbit, this will be the fifth module in the Russian segment of the station.

The life of the crew in orbit will become more comfortable.

The ISS is an important international project involving 15 countries.

Sergey Krikalev, Oleg Kotov, Roman Romanenko and Tom Peske talk about the design and equipment of the Nauka module, its importance in the operation of the station and the future prospects of joint work.

The Kasatka-R radar complex is being tested at the Moscow Research Institute of Precision Instruments.

It got its name in honor of the swift-winged and sharp-sighted village swallow, able to see from a height the smallest details on the surface of the earth.

This is how the space radar, which will be installed on the new remote sensing satellite "Obzor-R" of the Samara RCC "Progress", will work in any weather and time of day.

The employees of the Research Institute of TP tell about their brainchild: head of the department Alexander Kovalenko, engineer of the 1st category Maxim Bulygin, researcher Maxim Miloserdov.

January 12 is the birthday of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.

The plot is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the general designer.

Solemn events in the city of Korolev near Moscow.

Interview: Natalia Koroleva, Vladimir Solntsev, Igor Komarov, Alexey Leonov, Dmitry Rogozin.

The conference "Cosmonautics of the XXI century" has ended at the main scientific institute of Roscosmos TsNIIMash.

Scientists, designers, cosmonauts and industry experts discussed the main topics: where we are going, on what and why.

The conference addressed a variety of issues from the construction of long-term lunar bases and space nuclear power to hypersonic ships and space debris, which creates many dangers right now.

Interview: Alexander Ivanov, Boris Shustov, Yuri Kovalev, Nikolai Kardashev, Alexander Medvedev, Viktor Khartov, Alexander Bagrov.

The Large Azimuth Telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences for the study of near and far space objects is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The observatory staff Vladimir Romanenko and Valery Vlasyuk talk about the unique Soviet telescope.

November turned out to be cold on Baikonur, so the crew of the Soyuz MS-03 manned spacecraft decided to wear special heat-protective suits, which were informally called "Polar Bear" before the launch.

The suits are made at the Zvezda NPP near Moscow, where the Falcon and Orlan spacesuits, cosmonaut lodgements and much more are created.

Alexander Yemelyanov, engineer of NPP Zvezda, and Gennady Glazov, chief Specialist, told about the device of the Polar Bear and its protective properties.

Global warming was predicted in the middle of the last century.

Methane, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide are on the list of the main enemies of the climate.

Today there is an opinion that global warming is not a catastrophe, but an incentive to search for new sources of energy, among which our Sun is the main one.

Sergey Semenov, Alexander Bedritsky, Oleg Pluzhnikov, Sergey Plekhanov, Anatoly Koroteev talk about how to help nature and use other opportunities.
