ROSCOSMOS space mission/ Russian space mission 2021.
Introduction.
Roscosmos or Russian Federal Space Agency was
founded after the dissolution of Soviet Space Program in 1991. Russian
space agency is one of the space pioneers along with NASA. They are the
first agency to launch a satellite in space called a Sputnik one.
They are the first agency to have a man in space: Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
After its transformation from the Soviet space program into
Roscosmos, they have launched even more ambitious missions. They
are one of the prominent contributors to the international space station
or ISS. In 2012 they launched 95 satellites which was a record launch at
that time. Hello Everyone I am Varun and in this episode we are
going to explore and find out future Roscosmos space missions. So without
further do. Let's get started Luna 25 is a planned lunar lander mission by
the Russian federal space agency. It is the successor of luna 24 which was
launched 44 years back in 1976. It is going to land on the south pole of
the moon the objective of the mission is to land on the moon and to
demonstrate the landing technology of Roscosmos. The mission will carry 30
kilos of the scientific instrument including a robotic arm for
soil samples and possible drilling hardware. The mission is currently
planned for October 2021 on Soyuz 2.1 b rocket it is going to
be launched from the Baikonur launch site in Kazakistan. Venera D is a
proposed Russian space mission to Venus. It is going to include an orbiter
and a lander. The mission is going to be launched between 2026 and 2030.
The primary objective of the mission is to perform observation with the
use of radar. The lander is going to operate on venus surface for around 3
hours. It will gather various data which would be important to
gather information about the atmosphere of venus. The mission is scheduled
to be launched using proton or Angara a5 rocket Exomars is an
astrobiological program by European space agency and Roscosmos
or Russian federal space agency. The goals of Exomars are to search for signs
of past life on mars and to investigate about martian water
and geochemical environment. The mission is going to return a mass sample
of mars to investigate atmospheric trace gases and their
sources. The launch vehicle and instrument packages are going to be provided
by Roscosmos while Exomars Trace gas orbiter is provided by
the European space agency. The duration of the mission is 6 months
11 days and will be operated and launched using proton rocket.
These are some space missions Roscosmos have planned in next decade.
Roscosmos is generally going to focus on luna missions rather than
focusing on interstellar missions or voyages around other
planets. All the missions in the next decade are going to be the
successor to luna 25 Make sure to Subscribe and Ring the bell icon, so you
