2011 .... un anno nero per la Russia ....

Siamo dunque nel 2015 e non è che che si possa ancora affermare che lo spazio russo sia uscito da quell' alone nero che lo avvolgeva e goda ora di una congiuntura colorata di rosa .....

 

Russia’s space programme has had a bad recent run, with an unmanned International Space Station (ISS) resupply ship left spinning out of control, the failure of an experimental military launcher and the apparent cancellation of a super-heavy-lift rocket programme owing to swingeing budget cuts.

Federal space agency Roscosmos looks set to lose 35% of its budget over the next 10 years, with spending cut over the decade to about Rb2 trillion ($37.7 billion), according to a Reuters report carried by The Moscow Times.

Lost in those cuts will be a super-heavy-lift rocket programme - and Russian plans to orbit its own space station from 2023 may also be in doubt.
