This is what three astronauts being launched into space looks like – seen from space. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst took this time-lapse sequence from the International Space Station’s Cupola observatory on 3 December 2018. Inside the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft were NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques and Roscosmos astronaut and Soyuz commander Oleg Konenenko. The trio blasted into orbit at 11:31 GMT from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and docked with the International Space Station just six hours later. Spacecraft are launched after the Space Station flies overhead. This allowed Alexander to set up a camera to take regular pictures at intervals that are played back to create this video. The rocket leaves behind a trail of exhaust as it gains altitude and passes through the layers of Earth’s atmosphere.

On October 20, 1970, the Soviet Union launched the Zond 8 spacecraft on a mission to the moon. This was the last mission in the Zond program. After the first three Zond missions explored Venus and Mars, the next ones were circumlunar missions that flew around the moon before returning to Earth. Although there was no crew on board, the Zond spacecraft was designed with cosmonauts in mind. The Zond missions served as test flights for the Soviet Union's plans to send cosmonauts to the moon. But those plans for crewed flights never came to fruition. This was partly because the U.S. had already put astronauts on the moon, but also because the Zond missions had a lot of technical problems. Zond 8 was considered a success — even though its guidance system malfunctioned on the way back to Earth. The spacecraft still returned to Earth safely and splashed down in the Indian Ocean one week after it launched.

According to Reuters, a Soyuz launch was jettisoned after lift-off. But the crew inside the Soyuz capsule landed safely, despite a mid-air emergency. One of the rocket's boosters failed in flight, forcing the crew to jettison their capsule for an emergency landing. The two-member crew was scheduled for a six-month stay aboard the International Space Station, but instead, an insurance claim is being filed. If an insurance case is filed, then the Russian insurance firm Soglasie will get one of its biggest payouts in decades. But Soglasie said it will first look into the incident to determine liability. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/-7lxnW-KgN8/soyuz-emergency-landing-could-result-in-major-payout-for-insurer-soglasie-interfax-idUSKCN1ML20X http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Reuters reports that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said on Thursday he hoped the United States would be understanding about a malfunction that occurred during a launch of the “Soyuz” spacecraft. He was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency that manned space flights would be suspended until an investigation into the causes of the malfunction is completed. “Soyuz” made an emergency landing near the city of Zhezkazgan in central Kazakhstan after its booster rockets failed in mid-air en route to the International Space Station. It had a Russian cosmonaut and a U.S. astronaut on board. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/n8vIMQg9fc4/russia-hopes-usa-will-be-understanding-about-soyuz-incident-ifax-idUSKCN1ML1BM http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

On Oct. 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the satellite that started the Space Race. Sputnik 1 was the first human-made object to orbit the Earth, and it set off a wave of fear and anxiety across the U.S. now known as the "Sputnik crisis." Sputnik was a metal sphere roughly 2 feet (58 cm) in diameter with four long radio antennas. These antennas transmitted little beeping pulses down to Earth that even amateur radio operators could hear. The satellite spent 21 days in orbit before it burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

On Sept. 29, 1977, the Salyut 6 space station launched into orbit. This was the eighth space station the Soviet Union launched under its Salyut program and the first second-generation Salyut space station. Unlike its predecessors, Salyut 6 was able to accommodate long-duration crewed missions. Over the course of its five years in operation, 16 cosmonaut crews visited the station. The longest anyone stayed there was 185 days. The space station deorbited in 1982 and burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

On Aug. 8, 1977, the Salyut 5 space station fell out of space and burned up in Earth's atmosphere. Salyut 5 was a Soviet space station and part of the highly-secretive Almaz military space station program. It launched in 1976 and housed two crew of cosmonauts as they conducted military experiments and other scientific research in orbit. Originally, four crewed missions were supposed to go to Salyut 5. However, the third crew was unable to dock their spacecraft and had to return home. The fourth mission had to be cancelled because Salyut 5 was starting to run low on propellant for its main engines and attitude control system. Salyut 5 couldn't be refuelled, so it was deorbited and left to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

On July 27, 1962, two Russian cosmonauts boarded a Soviet airliner and experienced weightlessness without going to space. This was the first time cosmonauts completed zero-G training on an airplane. The Tupelov Tu-104 was a type of jetliner originally designed to transport 50 passengers. It was modified to accommodate cosmonauts who needed to train in an environment that simulated weightlessness. By flying in a parabolic arc, passengers could experience 6 to 25 seconds of weightlessness on each maneuver. Cosmonauts Andriyan Nikolayev and Pavel Popovich were on this flight to prepare for their upcoming orbital missions Vostok 3 and Vostok 4.

According to a report by Gizmodo, a Russian-built spaceship has reached the International Space Station in under four hours, making it the fastest supply mission to space in history. A mere three hours and forty minutes after blasting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Progress 70 supply-freighter, filled with almost three tons of food, fuel, and other supplies, rendezvoused with the ISS. This was reportedly the third attempt by the Russian space agency at an abbreviated trip to the space station. https://gizmodo.com/russian-cargo-ship-reaches-space-station-in-record-time-1827478280 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

On April 19, 1971, the Soviet Union launched the world's first space station, Salyut 1. This space station was a modified version of the Soviet Union's Almaz space station, which was part of a highly classified military program and was still under development at the time. After NASA managed to put astronauts on the moon, the Soviet Union decided that its next big feat in the Space Race would be to put a crewed space station in orbit. The first crew to visit Salyut 1 in orbit launched just four days after the space station did. However, that crew had some technical problems while trying to dock with the space station in their Soyuz spacecraft, so they went back home without ever actually entering the station. Another crew launched two months later, and after a successful docking, they spent 23 days aboard the station.

Soyuz later! Russia might exit satellite launch business: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/04/19/russia_hints_at_satellite_launch_exit/. Thanks for watching, subscribe for more videos. Russia has dropped a broad hint that it might leave the space launch business to private operators. Space launches have become a relative commodity: SpaceX publishes a price list offering a Falcon 9 trip to geosynchronous transfer orbit for US$62 million, or $90 million for Falcon Heavy. Russia's official newsagency TASS carried a report suggesting the country might let the new generation of private launch vehicles have the business to themselves rather than try to build a platform that can compete with SpaceX. TASS reports Deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin, whose role puts him at the top of the country's defense industry, said in a television interview: “The share of launch vehicles is as small as four per cent of the overall market of space services”. Rogozin added that the global space services market is worth US$350 billion and that Russia could do better as a payload-builder than a launcher-for-hire. “The four per cent stake isn’t worth the effort to try to elbow Musk and China aside," he said. El Reg notes that India is also shaping up as a launch competitor, with its ultra-low-cost Mars orbiter and its PSLV vehicle proven since 1994 demonstrating capability and cost-competitiveness. There's a bit of realpolitik to consider here, too, because tension between the USA and Russia means the former nation isn't very keen on sending business Moscow's way. SpaceX, meanwhile, staged another boring, successful, nothing-blew-up launch earlier today, with its Falcon 9 carrying the much-anticipated NASA TESS planet-hunting satellite to orbit. ®

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a new documentary that the Russian space agency will launch a mission to Mars as early as 2019.

On February 19, 1986, the Soviet Union launched the Mir space station. While this wasn't the first space station launched into orbit, it was the first one that had to be assembled piece-by-piece in space. Mir enabled the first long-duration human spaceflight missions. The current record for the longest stay in space was set aboard the Mir space station by cosmonaut Valeri Vladimirovich Polyakov, who spent 437 consecutive days in orbit. The Soviets used Mir to do all kinds of scientific research for 15 years before funding for the program was cut, and Mir fell back to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere along the way.

On January 29, 1989, a Soviet space probe named Phobos 2 arrived in orbit around Mars. This was the last space mission launched by the Soviet Union. Its primary purpose was to study Mars' two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Its journey to the Red Planet took about 6 and a half months, and it spent the next two months taking pictures of the two moons and gathering data on Mars' atmosphere. It brought along two small landers to drop on Phobos, but mission control lost contact with the spacecraft before those landers made it to the Martian moon.

On January 20, 1978, the Soviet space program launched the first ever Progress cargo ship on a mission to delivery supplies to the Salyut 6 space station. Since then, more than 150 Progress spacecrafts have launched cargo to crews aboard the International Space Station as well as earlier, smaller space stations built by Russia and the Soviet Union. Progress 1 carried nearly 3,000 pounds of food, water, scientific equipment and spare parts to the two-person crew aboard Salyut 6. The cosmonauts unloaded the cargo—then filled the spacecraft with trash and sent it off to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

Чтобы понять природу черных дыр, учёные всего мира сегодня готовят несколько амбициозных проектов по их изучению. Один из них – российская космическая обсерватория «Миллиметрон». О том, что такое чёрные дыры с точки зрения современной науки и какое значение имеет их исследование для понимания Вселенной, рассказывает ведущий научный сотрудник Института ядерных исследований РАН, доктор физико-математических наук Вячеслав Иванович ДОКУЧАЕВ.

On January 8, 1973, the Soviet Union launched the Luna 21 mission to land a rover on the moon. This was the second time that the Soviet Union put a rover on the moon,and it was the 6th successful lunar landing of the Luna program. Like the other Luna missions, Luna 21 was an uncrewed, robotic spacecraft. It launched on a Proton rocket and touched down in the Le Monnier crater one week later. About three hours after landing, it deployed the rover, Lunokhod 2. The rover traveled about 24 miles and took more than 80,000 photos on the moon before it accidentally rolled into a crater, where it got dust all over its solar panels and died.

On November 15, 1988, the world learned that the Soviet Union also had their own space shuttle. It had been secretly under development for well over a decade and it had cost the Soviets billions to build it. Several of the spacecraft were in various stages of construction. But the Soviet shuttle, named the Buran, would only ever launch once. Its development had largely been driven by the need to respond to the perceived military potential of the NASA Space Shuttle. When the Buran was first launched, the world speculated that it would be used to build Soviet space stations or even assemble spacecraft for a manned mars mission. But as the Soviet Union began to collapse, funding for the Buran program was limited and eventually eliminated. There’s no denying that the Buran looks very similar to the Space Shuttle. But in many ways, the Buran was quite different from the NASA Space Shuttle. The Buran orbiter didn’t have integrated main engines. Almost all of its lifting power was provided by a separate super-heavy rocket called Energia, which consisted of a core stage and 4 liquid-fueled boosters. Unlike the Space shuttle, which was a single system, the Buran orbiter, and its lifting rockets were actually two separate systems. While the Shuttle, with its integrated engines, was more reusable, in practice, it required intensive maintenance between launches, which offset a lot of this advantage. But once in space, the Space Shuttle’s integrated engines no longer served a purpose. So, for most of the Shuttle’s mission, it was forced to haul around thousands of pounds of dead weight. Without integrated engines, the Buran could carry slightly more payload than the American Space Shuttle. But the Energia rocket could launch by itself, without the Buran attached. That meant it could carry external payloads into space, and could launch an astounding 100 tons. From the outset, the Buran was also capable of fully automated flight, meaning it could be launched, put into orbit and returned back to earth without any crew on board. In the final days of the Soviet Union, when it was clear that the American shuttle had no meaningful military potential, the Soviet military no longer wanted anything to do with the Buran. The Soviet space community was left with a spacecraft that was expensive, complex, and largely without a real purpose. #Buran #SpaceRace #Spaceships #SovietSpaceProgram Further Research: We highly recommend the book ‘Energiya-Buran: The Soviet Space Shuttle’ by Bart Hendrickx and Bert Vis.

Учёные обнаружили на поверхности Солнца огромное плазменное пятно. Если светило сделает выброс этого вещества в космос, то сильнейший космический шторм достигнет Земли и за четверть часа уничтожит всю человеческую цивилизацию. Возможны ли катастрофические «космические бури» и чего ждать от Солнца в ближайшие годы, рассказывает Сергей Петрович Гайдаш, руководитель Центра прогнозов космической погоды Института земного магнетизма, ионосферы и распространения радиоволн им. Н. В. Пушкова РАН.

О влиянии большого космоса на человеческий мозг, его изменении и о катастрофическом уменьшении мозга современного человека рассказывает Сергей Савельев, палеоневролог, доктор биологических наук, профессор, заведующий лабораторией развития нервной системы Института морфологии человека РАН.

В октябре этого года учёные Гавайского центра астрономии обнаружили необычный астероид из межзвёздного пространства. Астероиду дали имя Оумуамуа (с гавайского – «Первый вестник, прилетевший издалека»). Он имеет огромную гиперболическую скорость и не похож на ранее известные астероиды и кометы Солнечной системы. О том, откуда прибыл загадочный астероид, его особенностях и значении Оумуамуа для мировой науки рассказывает Натан Андреевич Эйсмонт, кандидат технических наук, ведущий научный сотрудник Отдела космической динамики и математической обработки информации Института космических исследований РАН.
