Russia is not giving up on the project for development of nuclear engine for spacecraft

Russian Aviaton » Wednesday May 13, 2015 18:09 MSK

Russia is not giving up on the project for development of nuclear engine for spacecraft travelling to deep space; it is included in the draft Federal Space Program for 2016-2025, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier mass media reported with reference to an independent source that Roscosmos is going to terminate the project for megawatt nuclear engine for spacecraft travelling to deep space.

The nuclear powerplant with a power of around 1 MW is still part of the program; however, its development should be completed in 2029-2030 (according to the draft program).

“Roscosmos continues development of key technologies intended for development of launch vehicles with reusable upper stages, space tugs powered by electric or nuclear engines. Information about excluding these projects from the Federal Space Program 2016-2025 is not correct,” Igor Burenkov, official representative of Roscosmos, said.

Another 3 aircraft of this type were received by the airline this year from STLC. For the aircraft, an inverse version of the airline's livery was chosen (not the standard white and red, but red and white). Now the airline's fleet has 2 aircraft painted in such manner, the second one is A320.

  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.
