THE FUTURE OF RUSSIA’S PILOTED SPACE PROGRAM Bart Hendrickx
Priorities in longterm space strategy (until 2030) Development of cosmodromes/launch vehicles and satellites for practical applications Space sciences Human spaceflight
Main objectives of piloted programme ISS operations, including addition of new Russian modules (MLM, specialized modules, free-flying modules) Decision on continued use of Russian segment beyond 2020 First test flights of new-generation vehicle (PTK NP)
Main objectives of piloted programme Use of new-generation vehicle and “specialized and autonomous free-flying modules” for practical applications and scientific purposes Development of “robotic means” to study the Moon and ensure manned flights to the Moon (including modified versions of a transport ship for flights to the Moon, a lunar landing complex and an interorbital space tug)
Main objectives of piloted programme after 2030 Flights to cislunar space and to the Moon Establishment of a permanent lunar base In-orbit servicing of large space objects and interorbital space tugs Preparations for piloted flights to Mars “in an international framework”
Node module (2017)
Scientific Power Module (2018)
OKA-T free-flyer (2018)
Soyuz-MS (2016) - Improved solar panels - More docking/deorbit redundancy - GPS/Glonass sensors - Kurs-NA rendezvous system - Micrometeorite shielding
PTK NP versions Исследовательские полёты Возвращение на Землю Снабжение станции Доставка экипажа станции Полеты к Луне Обслуживание спутников НАЗНАЧЕНИЕ: Транспортно-техническое обслуживание орбитальных пилотируемых станций, космических комплексов и других объектов орбитальной группировки Грузовозвращающий корабль
Lunar vehicle modifications - beefed-up heatshield - improved life support systems - improved communications systems - more fuel - 4 instead of 6 crew members
