The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, handed over his on Twitter of the state corporation. The Roskosmos account is also up and running, tweets from the @Rogozin page began to duplicate @roscosmos entries around 11:00 Moscow time on June 3. Now the page is called "State Corporation ROSCOSMOS".
All the personal data of the head of Roskosmos were replaced by the data of the state corporation. The RIA Novosti publication asked Vladimir Ustimenko, head of the press service of the state corporation, for comment.
βWe already coordinate the fundamentally important publications of the press service with the general director, so it makes no sense to keep two parallel pages,β the head of the press service explained.
The official Roscosmos Twitter page was created in 2014. At the moment it has 153 thousand readers. Rogozin's personal page, created in 2009, has 766 subscribers. Now they are all subscribed to the second Roscosmos account.
It is possible that through a larger number of subscribers, Roskosmos is trying to increase its recognition on the Web. By the way, the American aerospace agency NASA has 37,6 million followers on Twitter. The private space company SpaceX and its CEO Elon Musk have 11,5 million and 35,5 million subscribers, respectively.
The head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin via Twitter recently congratulated NASA, SpaceX and Elon Musk on the successful two astronauts to the International Space Station. Successful docking with the station May 31. Astronauts can spend several months aboard the ISS, after which they will return back to Earth on the Crew Dragon ship that brought them to the station.
