Make no mistake, Russia is still world space leader

Russia and the whole world celebrate the day of cosmonautics on 12 April. It's been 50 years since the first space mission. Russia is still a leader in this area, although it is not planning to stop at this point.

Moon exploration, travel for tourists and other things are in perspective.

Russia was the first country to conquer space, like the USSR. Decades have passed since then. The global goal of this century is to send the man to Mars and explore the moon further. In Russia one achievement will be with the help of the other. A mission to the moon is scheduled to take place next year. That mission will include an automated station that has been developed in co-operation with the European Space Agency, writes Periscopi.

In the coming years, missions with people will land on lunar poles. This experience will be helpful in the colonization of Mars, which will later take place.

Igor Komarov, director of Roscosmos, has said: “There is a step-by-step sequence, from the easiest to the most difficult, from the simplest and most humble to the things that require advanced technology that will still take time to develop. Taking baby steps is a logic that we understand, that we do in many areas of life. We know that about a year ago they decided to go to the moon. Mars is the first step, but the moon is the final goal. ”

It takes about three days to reach the moon and about six months to reach the red planet. That's why the March landing will happen later

Before the planet is widely explored, Russia will send out several well - equipped missions. Finally, successful tests are conducted in a new parachute that will help keep scientific equipment in Mars' space.

Many people want to fly to the stars, and soon this dream will come true. Russia is committed to developing air tourism. The first flights are expected to be undertaken in 2025. By 2030, it is scheduled to be sent from 700 people a year to have Mars populated. The ticket price will be $200,000.

Tourist space missiles will be produced almost without any imported parts from foreign countries, Vesti reports. Russia reportedly invested $200m in the project. /Periscopi
