Director General of the State Corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin announced that scientists are preparing a report on the program of exploration of the Moon, Venus and Mars.
It is noted that specialists from Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) are involved in the development of the document. The report should be finalized in the coming months.
“In accordance with the decision of the country's leadership, we were supposed to submit a joint report from Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences both on the Moon, and on Venus, and on Mars this fall,” RIA Novosti quotes the statement of Mr. Rogozin.
Recall that our country is participating in the ExoMars project to explore the Red Planet. In 2016, an apparatus set off for Mars, including the TGO orbiter and the Schiaparelli descent module. The first successfully collects data, and the second, unfortunately, crashed during landing. The second phase of the ExoMars project will be implemented next year. It involves the launch of a Russian landing platform with a European robotic rover on board.
In addition, Russia, together with the United States, intends to carry out the Venera-D mission. As part of this project, a lander and an orbiter will be sent to explore the second planet of the solar system.
