Russia's Posture in Space
Russia’s Posture in Space: Prospects for Europe Executive Summary Prepared by the European Space Policy Institute Marco ALIBERTI Ksenia LISITSYNA May 2018 Table of Contents Background and Research Objectives ........................................................................................ 1 Domestic Developments in Russia’s Space Programme ............................................................ 2 Russia’s International Space Posture ......................................................................................... 4 Prospects for Europe .................................................................................................................. 5 Background and Research Objectives For the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik-1, in 2007, the rebirth of Russian space activities appeared well on its way. After the decade-long crisis of the 1990s, the country’s political leadership guided by President Putin gave new impetus to the development of national space activities and put the sector back among the top priorities of Moscow’s domestic and foreign policy agenda. Supported by the progressive recovery of Russia’s economy, renewed political stability, and an improving external environment, Russia re-asserted strong ambitions and the resolve to regain its original position on the international scene. Towards this, several major space programmes were adopted, including the Federal Space Programme 2006-2015, the Federal Target Programme on the development of Russian cosmodromes, and the Federal Target Programme on the redeployment of GLONASS. This renewed commitment to the development of space activities was duly reflected in a sharp increase in the country’s launch rate and space budget throughout the decade. Thanks to the funds made available by flourishing energy exports, Russia’s space expenditure continued to grow even in the midst of the global financial crisis. Besides new programmes and increased funding, the spectrum of activities was also widened to encompass a new focus on space applications and commercial products. -

Abstract: In light of future missions beyond low Earth orbit (LEO) and the potential establishment of bases on the Moon and Mars, the effects of the deep space environment on biology need to be examined in order to develop protective countermeasures. Although many biological experiments have been performed in space since the 1960s, most have occurred in LEO and for only short periods of time. These LEO missions have studied many biological phenomena in a variety of model organisms, and have utilized a broad range of technologies. -

6 FOTON RETRIEVABLE CAPSULES This Section Is Aimed at Providing New and Experienced Users with Basic Utilisation Information Regarding Foton Retrievable Capsules
6 FOTON RETRIEVABLE CAPSULES This section is aimed at providing new and experienced users with basic utilisation information regarding Foton retrievable capsules. It begins with an introduction to the Foton capsule. 6.1 Introduction to Foton Capsules 6.1.1 What Are Foton Capsules? Foton capsules (Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2) are unmanned, retrievable capsules, derived from the design of the 1960’s Soviet Vostok manned spacecraft and the Zenit military reconnaissance satellite. These capsules are very similar to the Bion and Resurs-F satellites introduced by the Soviets in the 1970’s, for biological research and Earth natural resources investigation, respectively. The first Foton capsule was launched in 1985 as Cosmos 1645 and only with the fourth launch in 1988 was the spacecraft officially designated Foton (Foton-4). These capsules are launched into near-circular, low-earth orbits by a Soyuz-U rocket, providing researchers with gravity levels less than 10 -5 g, for missions lasting approximately 2 weeks. The earlier Foton missions were conceived primarily for materials science research, but later missions also began to include experiments in the fields of fluid physics, biology and radiation dosimetry. ESA’s participation in the Foton programme began in 1991 with a protein crystallisation experiment on-board Foton-7, followed by a further 35 experiments up to and including the Foton- 12 mission in 1999. In 2002, ESA provided a large number of experiments for the Foton-M1 mission (the first flight of an upgraded version of the Foton spacecraft). This mission ended in disaster when the Soyuz launcher rocket exploded shortly after lift-off due to a malfunction in one of its engines. -
