Sputnik 40 Years spokesman Guy Pignolet says the third flight model now is aboard a Progress rocket in Baikonur, Russia, awaiting transport to the Russian Mir space station April 2. Sputnik 99, which likely also will be known as RS-19 and possibly as Sputnik 42, will be launched by hand from Mir sometime in April during a space walk by ESA astronaut Jean-Pierre Haignere, FXOSTB, of France. The newest ‘baby Sputnik” was a cooperative effort of Gerard Auvray, F6FAO, of AMSAT-France; Viktor Kourilov, of the Astronautical Federation of Russia; and Sergei Sambourov, RV3DR, of Energia and AMSAT-Russia. Technical details of the latest Sputnik are not yet available. Haignere is aboard Mir for a six-month tour of duty and will return to Earth in August. He has occasionally been on the air from the ROMIR setup aboard Mir (145.985 MHz). The Air Force General is also president of the Aero-Club de France’s astronautics commission.

It will land in Jezero Crater on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021. Perseverance is the most sophisticated rover NASA has ever sent to Mars, with a name that embodies NASA’s passion for taking on and overcoming challenges. It will search for signs of ancient microbial life, characterize the planet’s geology and climate, collect carefully selected and documented rock and sediment samples for possible return to Earth, and pave the way for human exploration beyond the Moon. Perseverance will also ferry a separate technology experiment to the surface of Mars — a helicopter named Ingenuity, the first aircraft to fly in a controlled way on another planet. Update: As of June 24, the launch is targeted for no earlier than July 22, 2020. Additional updates can be found on the mission’s launch page. Seven Things to Know About the Mars 2020 Perseverance Mission The Perseverance rover, built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, is loaded with scientific instruments, advanced computational capabilities for landing and other new systems.
