Fyodor Yurchikhin is preparing to fly as part of the Soyuz MS-04 crew and is mastering biotechnology.

On board the ISS, he will conduct the Probiovit experiment on growing fermented dairy products in the space environment.

Fedor Yurchikhin and Irina Kutnik talk about the essence of the experiment.

The assembly of the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle for the first launch has been completed at the Vostochny cosmodrome, now it is necessary to connect the rocket with the payload, check all systems and prepare the system for launch.

The Soyuz-2 launch vehicle belongs to the family of three-stage medium-class launch vehicles, created in the Samara RCC Progress.

During its history, the Soyuz has been launched almost 2000 times, experts estimate its reliability at 98%, no other carrier rocket in the world has such indicators.

Employees of the Progress RCC Dmitry Baranov, Oleg Lagno, Alexander Kirilin talk about the Soyuz series missiles.

For the commander of the Soyuz spacecraft, Sergei Volkov, who returned from space, the work is completed, and for Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko it continues.

After a year-long expedition to the ISS, scientists will subject them to Earth tests, which should show how efficient the human body is after a long stay in zero gravity.

The experiment with Mikhail Kornienko was developed by specialists of the IMBP RAS and is called "Constellation".

The main goal is to confirm that a person is able to live and work normally on another planet after a long space flight.

In 2017, it is planned to launch the Spektr-RG space observatory into orbit.

Spectrum telescopes will scan the entire sky in the X-ray range, count galaxies and, possibly, look into the distant past, trying to answer the question of how the Universe originated and evolved.

At the same time, in Dubna, scientists using the NICK collider (Nucleotron-based Ion Collider facility) want to simulate the process of the first moments of what happened billions of years ago.

Vladimir Babyshkin, Mikhail Pavlinsky, Alexander Lutovinov, Dmitry Kazakov, Vladimir Kekelidze, Professor of the Department of Atomic Physics at Sofia University Rumenko, tell about the projects of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

The Samara Progress Rocket and Space Center has completed tests of the Resurs-P Earth remote sensing spacecraft, which will be put into orbit in the first quarter of 2016. The satellite will become the third device of the domestic grouping of remote sensing satellites.

Today satellite images are one of the most popular space destinations, in the struggle for information, scientists are constantly coming up with new space reconnaissance devices.

Today, with remote sensing satellites, you can not only see the number of the car, but even see what is hidden underground.

The plot starred Yuri Veremchuk, Ravil Akhmetov, Mikhail Khailov, Deputy head of the department of NC OMZ Tamara Ganina, Stanislav Rogov, head of the Department of PSUTI Oleg Goryachkin.

The crew of the Soyuz spacecraft returned to Earth after a 186-day orbital watch.

Landing is one of the most important stages of the expedition.

Preparation for it begins long before contact with the Ground.

After undocking, the ship descends from orbit and splits into three parts.

The descent vehicle, protected by a heat shield, rushes to the Ground through the incandescent plasma.

Parachutes are produced at an altitude of 10 km.

Two meters before the surface, the soft landing engines are turned on - 6 small solid-fuel engines in the bottom of the ship.

The domestic component base is used in the new modification of the Soyuz-2 rocket.

The control systems of manned Soyuz and cargo Progresses are also equipped with our microchips.

Russian microelectronics is successfully operating on the ISS. In the future, we plan to develop new technologies that will allow us to create intelligent robots to study the Solar System.

The main centers where the component base for space is being created are located in Zelenograd and the Kurchatov Institute.

Gennady Krasnikov, Alexey Dianov, Maxim Zaveskin talk about the work of enterprises.

The joint Russian-European project "ExoMars" is at the final stage.

The start of the first expedition is planned in the spring of 2016, the second - in 2018. The Institute of Space Research is creating instruments that will be installed on the modules of the interplanetary station, their main task is the search for extraterrestrial life.

The search is not limited to the nearest planets.

According to scientists, the most amazing places in the Solar System where life is worth looking for are the moons of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.

Sergey Saveliev, Director of the ExoMars program at Thales Alenia Space (France) Walter Cunho, Alexander Trokhimovsky, Georgy Managadze, Igor Mitrofanov, Alvaro Jimenez, Leonid Xanthomaliti talk about unique scientific instruments.

Launched from Baikonur in March 2016, the ExoMars interplanetary station is approaching the Red Planet, entry into the Martian atmosphere is planned for October 19, 2016. Maxim Mokrousov and Alexey Shakun, employees of the Space Research Institute, talk about the modules with scientific instruments installed at the station and about the tasks they have to perform ("Schiaparelli", "TGO", "FRIEND").

Preparations for the launch of the ExoMars project are being completed at Baikonur.

Scientists specifically chose the so-called "window" for the flight when the Red Planet is located closest to Earth.

ExoMars will study the planet's atmosphere and search for water, including with the help of Russian instruments developed at the Space Research Institute.

The plot starred Igor Komarov, ESA representative in Russia Rene Pichel, Alexander Trokhimovsky, Alexey Malakhov, Sergey Savelyev, scientific specialist of the ExoMars mission George Vago, Lev Zeleny.
