Russia has postponed manned flights of astronauts to the Moon because funds are not yet available for the development of the super-heavy launch vehicle. writes about this TASS referring to Oleg Gorshkov, advisor to the director general of Roscosmos.
“The timing of the start of manned flights to the Moon is shifting to the right due to budget constraints on the creation of a super-heavy class launch vehicle,” Gorshkov said.
In September, Academician Lev Zeleny, the scientific director of the first stage of Russia’s lunar program, reported that Roscosmos was unable to coordinate the launch of two stations to the Moon due to lack of money. He reminded that last year the Russian Federation sent a landing station for the first time, but it hit a satellite. Meanwhile, spacecraft from India, the United States and Japan have landed on the Moon, and a Chinese expedition is approaching. Details – in Material from socialbites.ca.
