Falcon 9 Successful Return May Help Decrease Spacecraft Cost - Roscosmos

The successful landing of the first stage of the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket back on Earth may help to decrease spacecraft manufacturing costs, Russian space agency Roscosmos head Igor Komarov said Thursday.

Earlier this week, the US SpaceX aerospace manufacturer's Falcon 9 successfully landed upright about 6 miles from where it was launched at Cape Canaveral, Florida, after having propelled 11 satellites into Earth's orbit. This is the first time an orbital rocket has successfully completed a controlled landing on Earth.

"We hope that what the US manufacturers are doing will lead to a decline in spacecraft manufacturing costs in the future," Komarov told reporters.

According to the Roscosmos head, the Russian Federal Space Program 2016-2025 also includes projects aimed at developing returnable carrier rockets.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
