The participation of foreign legions in the war against the USSR was supposed to show, according to Himmler's plan, a pan-European

All at once Developers from the United States have recently taken at least several significant steps in the development of the rocket and space industry. In November, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket flew for the first time using the same first stage for the seventh time. In the same month, a private

China continues to develop its rocket and space industry and explore new directions. In recent years, special attention has been paid to reusable space systems, and it is already known about the existence of several projects of this kind. Recently, industry representatives clarified their plans for

Something like this will look like the launch of a military transport rocket built on the basis of Falcon 9. Source: rbk.ru Until recently, it was impossible due to the lack of technology

Presumably, preparations for the launch of a reusable ship. Photo Weibo.com China is developing its rocket and space program and mastering new directions. The other day, a flight of a promising reusable spacecraft was carried out. Most of the data about this event and the ship itself

So, the heavy "Angara" successfully started, judging by Rogozin's tweets, rather in spite of than anything else. But - it is definitely worth rejoicing for several reasons at once, which we will now consider. Source: roscosmos.ru

The most interesting and promising project in the rocket and space sector will soon enter a new stage. In the near future, the domestic industry will begin the development of the promising space complex "Nuclon". It will be based on a transport and energy module with a nuclear power propulsion system

Shaped diversity The world is increasingly talking about the "rocket revolution": this is due to both the rapid growth in the number of launches of the reusable Falcon 9, and the emergence of light cheap rockets like Electron, which, we recall, should also become reusable. In perspective. Anyway, the number

"Eagle" did not take off SpaceX's successes are spinning the head not only of its leader, but also of many other specialists in the rocket and space industry.

As you know, the United States is actively resisting the conclusion of an agreement banning the deployment of weapons systems in space (at the moment there is only an agreement on nuclear weapons in orbit). Negotiations on this issue, however, continue periodically. At

Threat from Space On May 16, the American Atlas V launch vehicle (the one that uses the Russian "discord engine" RD-180 in the first stage) will launch the experimental X-37B spacecraft from the launch site at Cape Canaveral. This will be the sixth launch of the spacecraft and one of the most important in its

Unbearable lightness The situation with modern American rocketry is difficult to compare with anything: perhaps the United States has never had so many potentially revolutionary innovations. First of all, we are talking about SpaceX with its partially-reusable heavy-class Falcon 9 rocket. Due to the launch price of 60

The Burevestnik nuclear rocket dramatically expands Russia's space prospects. This opinion was expressed by one author. This is a rather controversial opinion, and therefore, before arguing, I want to figure it out. So, the West is scared?
