The first satellite to be launched into orbit from the new Vostochny cosmodrome will be the Lomonosov scientific apparatus, created in Moscow at the VNIIEM enterprise.

The main developer of the scientific program of the apparatus is the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University.

In orbit, Lomonosov will study the extreme Universe - the nature of the most powerful phenomena that scientists cannot yet explain.

The plot starred Alexander Vorontsov, Mikhail Panasyuk, Sergey Svertilov, Sergey Popov, Grigory Beskin.

IMBP scientists have approved experiments on the Bion-M spacecraft No. 2, which is planned to be launched into space in a few years.

The main object of orbital research for biologists, physiologists, geneticists and pharmacists is mice, but drosophila flies, microbes and frogs will fly with them on a long business trip.

Vladimir Sychev, Deputy Director of the IMBP, and Irina Ogneva, a leading researcher at the IMBP, talk about the previously obtained results of experiments with living organisms in orbit.

The Russian Academy of Sciences revives the plan to return to the moon.

In 2019, the Luna-Globus spacecraft will go to our satellite, followed by the Luna-Resurs orbital probe.

The ultimate goal of lunar expeditions is the landing of astronauts and the creation of a full-fledged habitable base, the construction of the first lunar observatory, the project of which is being developed by the Institute for Space Research, the search and study of resources.

Fragments of an interview about the prospects of the project: Igor Mitrofanov, Lev Zeleny, Vladislav Shevchenko.

The World Space Week at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences ended with a scientific conference.

Two of the most important discoveries of recent times are gravitational waves and bacteria of the subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica; scientists Vladislav Pustovoit and Sergey Bulat tell.

The Lomonosov spacecraft has been operating in orbit for a month.

At the VNIIEM MCC, where the satellite was created, and at MSU, where the scientific program was being developed, communication sessions with the satellite took place, which confirmed that all scientific equipment was working successfully.

At the same time, the All-Russian festival of cosmonautics clubs "Cosmofest Vostochny - 2016" was held for the first time in Vostochny, from where Lomonosov was launched.

The plot starred Sergey Terekhov, Ivan Yashin, Vladimir Kalegaev, Lyudmila Mukhametdinova, Konstantin Chmarov, Andrey Plutenko, Rano Juraeva, graduate student of Samara University Mikhail Shcherbakov, Professor Mao Kofu, cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin.

The scientific experiment "Luna-2015" has been completed at the Institute of Biomedical Problems.

A crew of six girls (scientists of the IMBP) conditionally orbited the Moon in nine days and returned to Earth.

The experiment aimed to investigate the psychophysiological aspects of the female body in complete isolation, as well as to test scientific equipment that will be used on the ISS in the future.

The crew lived in the same modules where the Mars-500 experiment took place a few years ago, when six male volunteers virtually flew to Mars and back for a year and a half.

The plot starred Elena Lushchitskaya, Polina Kuznetsova, Sergey Ponomarev, Alexander Suvorov, Sergey Ryazansky, Anna Kussmaul, Daria Komissarova, Igor Ushakov.

Preparations for the launch of the Soyuz-MS manned spacecraft are underway at Baikonur, and it will soon dock with the ISS. In the Soyuz space, miniature engines weighing only 900 g are being moved, which are being developed and assembled in the Chemical Engineering Design Bureau near Moscow.

In addition to ships, low-thrust engines are installed on satellites, interplanetary stations and upper stages.

The plot starred Sergey Volkov, Ivan Pegin, Yuri Ageenko, Igor Panin, Deputy head of the design department of KBHM Alexander Filippov.

In the Moscow region, they are testing equipment that will work during launches from the Vostochny cosmodrome.

The task of specialists is the prompt detection of fragments of separating parts of launch vehicles.

The conditions are as close to real as possible.

The detection system operates in several ranges: optical, radio and infrared.

While at the test site, the complex is looking for conditional imitation fragments of missiles that are dropped from a helicopter.

The plot starred Alexander Dvurechensky, Deputy Head of the head Department of the TsENKI fall Areas, Alexander Savelenok, Deputy Head of the TSENKI Nature Management Supervision Department, Artem Kudinov, optoelectronic system operator, Alexey Saberov, Chief designer of the Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering, Sergey Vinokurov, head of the Vilyuysky District of Yakutia, Igor Vinokurov, chief Specialist of the TSENKI New Trails Creation Department Lyakhovenko.

The first manned ship of the MS series has been delivered to Baikonur.

MS is an upgraded version of the Soyuz spacecraft.

The Progress-MS cargo variant has already flown to the ISS, now it's the turn of the manned one.

The crew trains in Star City, the commander is cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin, the flight engineer is Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins.

The launch of the Soyuz MS-01 spacecraft is scheduled for June 24, 2016.

Interview: Alexander Gordyaev, Anatoly Ivanishin, Takuya Onishi, Sergey Krikalev, Oleg Novitsky, Mikhail Kornienko.

On December 15, 2015, a new expedition to the ISS is scheduled to start.

The crew included Yuri Malenchenko, Timothy Kopra and Timothy Peak, the trip is scheduled for six months.

During this time, the astronauts will have to conduct more than 50 scientific experiments, meet several cargo ships and prepare three spacewalks.
