The prelaunch processing of the Progress MS-12 cargo vehicle is in progress at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

On July 8, 2019 specialists of RSC Energia and Space Center Yuzhny completed the check of solar arrays with check insolation.

Work on parameter control of solar arrays envisages opening of the stand sites where the spacecraft is installed, installation of technological tables-places, removal of protection panels from solar arrays and their deployment, after which the solar arrays insolation and functional monitoring are provided with special illuminators. Upon completion of work the solar arrays were folded and recovered with protection panels.

The launch of the Progress MS-12 cargo transport vehicle is scheduled for July 31, 2019 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

  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.
