Instead, the state corporation will provide communications for the military, as well as sounding on Earth.
Russia’s state space corporation Roskosmos has said it will postpone flights to the Moon to “focus on heavier tasks” such as Earth sensing and communications for the military. This was announced by executive director of Roscosmos Alexander Bloshenko at Interfax.
“Right now, the issue of superheavy has moved to the right, as has the lunar program. We are prioritizing the more important things – remote sensing of the Earth, communications, what everyone needs, both civil and military. Therefore, the scientific space has moved on, “the official said.
He added that the state corporation continues to work on the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, which is an integral part of the super-heavy rocket. At the same time, the Yenisei superheavy rocket project has not yet been adopted.
In April, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that plans to organize a manned expedition on the moon had lost their relevance due to the war in Ukraine, and the state corporation was focusing on security issues. .
It was previously reported that Europe had refused to cooperate with the Russian Federation on a mission to Mars, but Roscosmos said that in a few years they would be able to carry out a mission to Martian alone.
