To date, the Soyuz is the only ship that delivers a person into space.

International crews are sent to the ISS every six months.

Perhaps soon the Soyuz will set a new record and become the first ship on which tourists will fly to the moon.

It is assumed that space tourists will fly around the Moon without landing on a satellite.

A flight to the Moon with the landing and construction of a base of inflatable high-strength modules is tentatively planned for 2030.

Vladimir Solntsev, Mark Serov, Nikolai Bryukhanov, Evgeny Mikrin talk about the development of new spacecraft and the prospects of space tourism.

There is one week before the start of a new expedition to the ISS. The main and backup crews undergo pre-flight training at Baikonur.

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is among the understudies, his flight is scheduled for November.

Interview: Alexander Gordyaev, Anatoly Ivanishin, Yuri Lonchakov, Tom Peske.

The space friendship of France and Russia has turned 50 years old.

These days, Moscow celebrated the anniversary of scientific and technical cooperation between our countries, which began with the secret operation "Palm".

French President Charles de Gaulle became the first foreigner to visit Baikonur, the country's most secret facility.

Interview: veteran of Baikonur Lev Nikolaev, Mikhail Khaylov, Jean-Yves Le Gall, Valery Kapitonov, Alexander Volkov.

The beginning is in the film document No. 101947.

The launch from the Vostochny cosmodrome has been postponed to 2016, perhaps it will be timed to coincide with the Cosmonautics Day.

The first stone in the construction of a new civilian cosmodrome was laid in August 2010, since that day more than 200 launch and technical facilities have been erected at the Vostochny sites.

Thanks to the use of new technologies, Vostochny turned out to be more compact, it is 7 times smaller than Baikonur.

The business card of the cosmodrome is a 50-meter mobile service tower.

Satellites will be launched from the new cosmodrome to a variety of orbits, in a few years ships with astronauts will fly from here, and Soyuz and Angara will become the main rockets.

Interview: Andrey Okhlopkov, Alexey Brewhanko, Technical Director of the Progress RCC at the Vostochny Cosmodrome launch complex Sergey Shirokov, Deputy Director of the Vostochny KC branch Yuri Petrenko, Sergey Korsakov, Yuri Makarov, Technical Director of the Motor Design Bureau Alexander Kildishev.

Astronomy is a special science that, without exaggeration, forms a person's worldview.

Anyone wants to know their place in the universe, according to what laws the world works and how it all started, so astronomy is of the greatest interest to children.

Cosmonauts and academics have repeatedly advocated the return of astronomy to school, and apparently, this may well happen.

Education Minister Olga Vasilyeva promised to return astronomy to the general education program.

The plot starred Igor Komarov, Alexander Lazutkin, Anatoly Cherepashchuk, Sergey Popov.

"Test", "Restoration", "Biodiversity" are the names of experiments whose results are eagerly awaited on Earth.

The cosmonauts removed special containers with biological samples from the skin of the station, from mold fungi spores to multicellular organisms.

Soon these containers will return to Earth, and specialists from the Institute of Biomedical Problems will begin studying the samples.

The ISS itself is a big scientific experiment, and space biology is one of the main areas of research.

Interviews: Fedor Yurchikhin, Sergey Volkov, Svetlana Poddubko, Sergey Ryazansky, Margarita Levinskikh.

The preparation of the Soyuz launch vehicle for the first launch has begun at the Vostochny cosmodrome.

In the near future, the construction of a second launch pad for the Angara family of launch vehicles will begin on Vostochny, it is the Angara that will put a new manned spacecraft into orbit from here, which has already received the name Federation.

The student satellites Lomonosov and Stork will also be launched from the Amur Cosmodrome to solve complex scientific problems.

The plot starred Igor Komarov, Rano Juraeva, Andrey Okhlopkov, Mark Serov, Alexander Misurkin, Sergey Volkov, Gennady Padalka, Yuri Malenchenko, Nikolai Tikhonov, Sergey Korsakov.

The crew of the new Soyuz TMA-20M spacecraft is preparing for launch at the Gagarin Space Center.

The crew commander Alexey Ovchinin took the call sign "Boatman", explaining that he hails from Rybinsk, which many years ago was considered the capital of boatmen.

At the beginning of March 2016, the crew will go to Baikonur, the launch is scheduled for March 19 from the first "Gagarin" site of the cosmodrome.

Interview: Alexander Gordyaev, Alexey Ovchinin, Oleg Skripochka, Jeffrey Williams.

Venus has always interested Earth scientists.

Two planets, two sisters, the same in many ways - the same density, the same size, composition, the same amount of energy received from the Sun, however, the planets are completely different.

Earth is habitable, and Venus has truly hellish conditions.

In total, 27 probes were launched from Earth to her, 19 of which were manufactured by the Lavochkin NGO, and each such mission brought more questions than answers.

And now, after a long break, Venus is back in the center of scientific attention.

Russia plans to resume exploration of the planet using the Venus-D spacecraft with a lander.

The future mission to the Morning Star requires new design solutions.

...

Venus also once had huge oceans, but now the planet is heated to 500 degrees, shrouded in a dense layer of gray clouds, the pressure on the surface is almost 100 atmospheres.

It cannot be ruled out that approximately the same scenario awaits our planet in the future.

In addition, Venus is also a new physics, because it is the only planet that rotates not like everyone else, but in the opposite direction, and it does it very slowly, one Venusian day is equal to 116 Earth days, but the atmosphere on the contrary rotates at a tremendous speed.

The attention of scientists around the world is focused on the Russian project "Venus-D".
