  1. Федеральное космическое агентство РоссииRussian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) Tracey Melville March 11, 2010

  2. The agenda… • Review Soviet program • Roscosmos • International cooperation • Past missions • Current missions • Future missions • Launch Capabilities

  3. Soviet Program October 4, 1957- Sputnik 1 launched as first man-made satellite to be put into Earth’s orbit November 3, 1957- Sputnik 2 launched with dog Laika aboard February 12, 1961- Venera-1 launched towards Venus April 12, 1961- Yuri Gagarin first human in space July 16, 1965-first Proton rocket carrying Proton-1 spacecraft launched June 14, 1967- Venera-4, first probe to enter atmosphere of Venus launched. Later 7, 9 send back info and photos of surface

  4. Soviet Program April 19, 1970s- First space station Salyut-1-7. Broke many spaceflight records, including several mission duration records, the first ever orbital handover of a space station from one crew to another, and various spacewalk records February 20, 1986- Core module of Mir launched (construction completed in 1996. In operated until 2001) December 1990- Soviet Union officially dissolved

  5. Russian Federal Space Agency/ Roscosmos • Formally the Russian Aviation and Space Agency (Rosaviacosmos) • Formed by Boris Yeltsin on January 25th 1992 • Director- Anatoly N. Perminov • Budget for 2006 was as high as 25 billion rubles (900 million USD). Over the next ten years it shall increase 5-10% a year (NASA $18.7) • In addition to the budget, about 130 billion rubles (aprox. 4.5 billion USD) flowing in but other means, such as industry investments and commercial space launches

  6. Locations • Headquarters in Moscow • Main Mission Control in near-by Korolev • Cosmonaut Trainings Training Center (GCTC) in Star City • Baikonur Cosmodrome in Khazakstan • Manned and un-manned launches • Pelsetsk Cosmodrome in north Russia • Primarily unmanned flights of military designation

  7. What do Roscosmos do? Besides the obvious stuff… • Organizes • Utilization of technologies for the benefit of the Program • Certification of the technologies for scientific and socioeconomic uses • Activities under commercial space projects and promotes these projects • Joins with the Defense Ministry in launches, research, etc.

  8. RoscosmosInternational Cooperation • Intergovernmental agreement with more than 19 states including the USA, Japan, India, Brasilia, Sweden, Argentina and the member-states of the European Space Agency (ESA) • Commercial launch services represent one of the most competitive areas of Russian activities. • Marketed by the joint ventures of Russian and its foreign partners • “ILS” (Russia-USA) • “STARSEM” and “EUROCKOT” (Russia-EU) • GLONASS-Global Navigation Satellite System restored in 2009 with the Indian gov. as partner

  9. Future missions/projects On the origin and evolution of the universe: • 2010-“Radioastrom” and “Intn’l space observatory/ultraviolet”- observatory looking at radio-astrophysical observations of extragalactic objects as well as characteristics of NE and interplanetary plasma, processes happening inside objects • 2013-”Gamma-400”- “dark material” • 2016- “Millimetron”- global structure and evolution of the universe Planetary • “Phobos-Grunt”-bring back satellite with Mars matter sample • Venera-D to be launched in 2013 and arrive at Venus in 2014 with orbiter, 2 balloons and lander Sun Study • 2012-“Resonans”-Results of the control of man-caused impacts on Earth magnetosphere and geophysical processes

  10. ROCKETS

  11. Launch Capabilitiessmall- class launch vehicles Kosmos 3M • Based on Soviet era Yangel R-14 IRBM • Places satellites in low-Earth orbit • $10 mil Rockot • used for small commercial and government payloads • European access • $13-15 mil START-1 • commercially available launch vehicle for small payloads • $9 mil Strela • Similar to the Rockot, but has fewer modifications

  12. Launch Capabilitiesmedium-class launch vehicles Dnepr • Orbital launch vehicle • $17.5 per launch Soyuz • The R-7 Semyorka ICBM was the rocket that launched Spunik 1 into orbit • Eventually variants launched Yuri Gagarin into orbit in the two-seater Voskhod spacecraft • Makes two trips to the ISS every year • Launches payloads for commercial customers • $40mil per launch

  13. Launch Capabilitiesheavy-class launch vehicles Proton • Originally intended to take men to the moon • Has evolved to become the “heavy-life work horse” for Russia • Has been used to send payloads to the planets and components to the ISS • Recent main role has been to send Russian government payloads and commercial communication satellites into geosynchronous orbit (GEO) • Sold through an independent firm that was once a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Khrunichev • Launched from Baikonur • $70mil per launch

  14. Launch Capabilitiesheavy-class launch vehicles Zenit • Originally designed to supplement the massive Energia (manufacturer of manned space craft) launch system in the late 1980s and serve as a stand-alone vehicle • Government and commercial versions • $70mil for a commercial launch

  15. And Next… Angara • Uses liquid oxygen/hydrogen fuel! • Small to heavy class • Will eventually be able to carry a payload of 30 metric tons into orbit, doubling the payload capacity of the Proton (space shuttle payload 27 tons) • The Angara-7 was conceived specifically to support manned missions to Mars and lunar exploration Mikron • Designed by the Moscow Aviation Institute • Engines will use liquid oxygen and a butyl rubber derivative! • Will be launched from beneath a MiG-31 fighter at an altitude of 21,000 meters • Carry small satellites into orbit • But little information since 2003, so it might be scrapped

  16. Plans for manned space flight and exploration The 2009 Moscow Aviation and Space Show featured a multi-element Interplanetary Expeditionary Complex, MEK, which would enable manned missions to Mars and beyond. According to the plan, lunar exploration would have lower priority than expedition to Mars. Travel would use Angara rockets and a Prospective Piloted Transport System.
