Russia’s Roscosmos launched… sometime after this we waited for something great, something unprecedented, with the prefix “world’s first”. Now lift with the voice of Gagarin’s launch, the tram without driver. But this time it was steeper, Roskosmos launched a mobile application.

Here without sarcasm — that in itself is a good thing. New, designed for youth, first and foremost, an audience, a platform for promotion of the Russian Astronautics.

Well, not terrible that our achievements brings branded smartphone, the software is also imported. I hope the programmers were domestic. The pensioners used that about the jerks, indexing, momentous and historical orders, and in General about improving their lives they know with imported blue screens.

the Question is probably still in the other.

on the night of July 20, the United Arab Emirates has launched to Mars, the first in the history of his country and the Arab world spacecraft called Hope (“Hope”). The device launched, however, the Japanese – from the spaceport Tanegashima with Japanese launch vehicle H-IIA. But when in 2014, the UAE announced the preparation of a private mission to Mars, our “experts” only smiled sympathetically. But drat.

on 23 July, the China launched to Mars, a complex mission “Tangwani-1”. It consists of the Orbiter, the lander and the Rover. The Chinese, if all goes well, will be the second on the Ground who have the Rover.

on July 30 from space launch complex 41 in Cape Canaveral mission to Mars launches NASA. It is planned to drop on the Red planet, the Rover is “Perseverance”. It will search for signs of ancient life and gather samples of rocks and soil, which will then be delivered to the Earth.

What do we have? We put in the week new record for flight speed of truck “Progress” to the ISS. He flew for 3 hours and 18 minutes. Develop a competitive advantage. First, we knocked from the top spot in manned space flights (American Dragon now docked to ISS), and now trying to say is, Yes, space cabs and we have enough, but we are the fastest, with a breeze take.

More on July 30 from the Baikonur cosmodrome will be held the launch of the carrier rocket “proton-M” with telecommunication satellite “Express-80” and “Express-103”. It was planned for March, but in the “Proton” was a defective bolt, which in the 2015-2016 fuel system is screwed at the Ust-Katavsky car-building factory. Not something complicated there, no, normal bolts failed to do.

And Mars are completely wrong happened. Somehow not prevented the Arabs, the Chinese and the Americans, pandemic, prevent the Russian-European mission ExoMars. She had to start July 26, but according to the official version due to karanvir��sa, the launch was postponed to September 2022. From Russia in this mission was a lander with landing platform, scientific instruments to the Rover and, of course, the carrier rocket “proton-M”.

this, too, was trying. “ExoMars” 2016 was a good part. Module “Schiaparelli” flew to Mars, but the land could not — broke the surface. However, the European orbital module stayed there and is working successfully. Our Russian spacecraft “Phobos-Grunt” launched on 9 November 2011, did not fly far — left in low earth orbit and 15 January 2012 burned in the dense layers of the atmosphere.

Here in all this point. App beautiful work. And the content-where? What achievements will inspire us “Rosatom”? With the beginning of the year was 8 (eight) space launches, but it is August on the nose. (Last year it was 25). From the official website of the Corporation has disappeared see “planned runs” (last time it was written, at least on the next). Dmitry Rogozin stopped to talk about the number of planned launches, after he promised President Putin with three boxes, and in fact the one laughing. Long list of “successes”.

And it is possible briefly: “Roscosmos” has launched the space program. Really launched.
