The company "Composite" creates and tests new alloys.

Engineers working with space ships decided to try to solve the mystery of the steel hull of the ship "Commune", which for 100 years of sailing in seawater has not been corroded.

The data obtained during the analysis of ship steel by the engineers of Composite may be used in the work on alloys for future spacecraft.

Interview: Alexander Beresnev, CEO of Composite, Alexey Pekhotinsky, senior mechanic of the rescue vessel Commune, Anatoly Ishinov, captain of the rescue vessel Commune.

Astronomers discover a huge number of "twins" of the Earth, however, the location of the planet in the so-called "habitable zone" does not mean that there is life on it.

But new discoveries prove that the cosmos is diverse, and following science fiction, scientists are beginning to seriously consider the possibility of the existence of other biological forms.

The plot starred Alexey Topunov, Vladimir Surdin, graduate student of Moscow State University Vladimir Cheptsov.

Russia returns to the lunar theme, where the main role is again given to the legendary NGO named after Lavochkin.

The tests of the Luna-Globe apparatus are being completed at the enterprise, its task is to work out the forgotten technology of "moon landing".

A comprehensive study of the Moon will help to understand how to use it for testing new equipment and technologies that are impossible either on Earth or on the ISS, and scientific equipment and optical systems located at the poles of the Moon will explore deep space.

Tell Lev Zeleny, Pavel Kazmerchuk, Igor Mitrofanov.

Lavochkin's NGO is preparing to send the second hydrometeorological satellite "Electro-L" to the Baikonur cosmodrome.

In the fall, it will be launched into orbit and will become an assistant to forecasters and rescuers.

The device will provide a multispectral survey of the Earth every half hour, and in case of detection of natural disasters - every 10 minutes.

Thanks to the high resolution of the images, it will be possible to detect forest fires at the earliest stage.

Ivan Moskatinyev and Gennady Eliseev talk about the satellite.

Lavochkin's NGO is preparing to send the second meteorological satellite "Electro-L" into space.

The launch of the satellite is expected not only in Russia, because of its advantageous location, its data will be useful not only to our country.

In addition, by launching the second "Electro", Russia will fulfill its international obligations, the satellite will enter the orbital system of the World Meteorological Organization.

Tell Gennady Eliseev and Alexander Mitkin.

RSC Energia is testing a prototype of the spacecraft of the future.

It will fly in tandem with the Angara-5A launch vehicle.

The transport system will replace the Soyuz launch vehicle bundle with the Soyuz TMA and Progress M ships.

The first unmanned launch of the new system is planned in 2021 from the Vostochny cosmodrome, and the first manned launch is scheduled for 2024.

Test cosmonauts Mark Serov, Evgeny Prokopyev, Oleg Artemyev starred in the story of Natalia Burtseva.

The plot for the 55th anniversary of the Mission Control Center (MCC).

The plot starred the head of the MCC Maxim Matyushin, cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, the replacement head of the flight Yuri Krasnykh.

The Earth's orbit is increasingly causing alarm among ballistics.

From the collision of old unguided satellites, the amount of debris in space is growing exponentially, 80% of space debris is located at an altitude of up to 3000 km.

This is a threat not only to operating satellites, but also to the ISS crew.

Scientists talk about the need to create a special orbit, a kind of graveyard for satellites, because if you don't fight space debris, it will be impossible to go into space in 40 years.

The plot starred the head of the maneuvering group of transport ships and stations Evgeny Melnikov, cosmonaut Alexander Samokutyaev, chief specialist of TsNIIMash Tatiana Grechina, head of the laboratory of TsNIIMash Sergey Avershev, astronomer Alexander Bagrov, head of the ballistic center Igor Oleynikov.

Baikonur breaks records for the number of launches.

The third launch in a week: Soyuz with the Resurs-P spacecraft, Proton with the ExoMars interplanetary station and Soyuz again, only now with a manned spacecraft.

Preparations for the launch of the second cargo ship of the new, upgraded MS series are continuing in the assembly and testing building at Baikonur.

The launch of the Progress MS-02 supply ship to the ISS is scheduled for the last day of March, the weather makes its own adjustments, however, the work of the cosmodrome continues in any, even extreme conditions.

The plot starred Igor Komarov, Oleg Skripochka, Alexey Ovchinin, Jeffrey Williams, Rano Juraeva, Igor Barmin.

The spacecraft called "New Horizons" reached Pluto, photographed it from a distance of 12 thousand kilometers and went further towards the Kuiper belt on the border of the Solar System.

Scientists suggest that there may be other dwarf planets, large asteroids and comets.

Presumably, the reconnaissance probe will work in deep space for another 10 years, thanks to special batteries based on the plutonium isotope.
