NASA is not planning to deliver astronauts to space on their ships

60
The United States intends to order the production of the Soyuz spacecraft in Russia for the delivery of its astronauts to the International Space Station in 2020 due to the delay in the manufacture of American commercial spacecraft, RIA reports News with reference to a source in the rocket and space industry.

NASA is not planning to deliver astronauts to space on their ships




Its production and flight to the ISS will be fully paid by the American side. The crew will include two American astronauts. The ship will be controlled by a Russian cosmonaut.
- added a source.

It is planned to conclude a contract between the corporation Boeing and RSC Energia; a similar agreement was concluded for the delivery of American astronauts in 2018 and the first half of 2019.

The contract will require permission from US lawmakers, who may criticize NASA’s dependence on Russia.

However, problems may also arise from the Russian side - in April it was reported that the government allegedly prohibited Roskosmos from signing legally binding documents with the states that imposed sanctions against Russia.

Earlier in "Roskomos" expressed concern that in the 2019 year, the United States will put into operation their ships and ensure their independence from Russia in the matter of delivering astronauts into space.

            Do not be naive, watch your hands. Again there will be a beautiful picture. I think if they had everything as good as they say, they would not cooperate with us. And they would also come up with some sort of sanctions for RosKosmos, well, to strangle a competitor. And so, they have nowhere to go.

        AHA SHCHAZ "they received", they received a hole from a donut. It’s not so much true, but according to the “rumors” Merikasy will not even make a copy of our engine. And they spent money and man-hours, and a lot - on an attempt to understand "what kind of beast" is our engine and "what it is eaten with". Again, according to what they have read, they are trying to make a “copy”, or rather, so far only “on paper”, that is, they don’t even have Maths dancing, then the power is not that, it’s expensively unacceptable.

Yes, and on Mars, he was going to throw cargo in 2016. good And nothing has changed!

And given "what kind of power" one must possess in the US Government in order to "put" NASA in favor of a private office like this, then this is the "level of God", it’s a person or people who can make the US system itself work illegally "for the good of the nation." So no one will ever plant a Mask or even judge.

      Well, one can argue with this, as far as I know, they have a carrier, just using it is excessively expensive for them. But when the fee increases, there is a chance of resuming your program. With all the victorious statements of Rogozin, it is worth looking at the statistics of launches. The USA for 2017 is 29 successful launches, the emergency is 0. Russia for 2017 is 19 launches of which are 2 unsuccessful (although the statistics emphasize interestingly: 1 launch is unsuccessful, 1 launch is PARTLY unsuccessful. This type of launch was successful, but failed over?)

        You compare the number of cars in the country fool . Is it not clear that in the USA there are more Customers sending satellites, and to the question why on Russian missiles - and you are not indicative of sanctions against aluminum and Deribaski? They’ll roll out some sanctions - there are rockets for satellites, some don’t roll out, they screwed up on aluminum because they don’t have “their own” to replace them. negative
        No, this will in no way alleviate the problems in our space industry, but in the absence of fair competition, demanding Roskosos superiority over Mask is like demanding "fill up the US with chicken legs" fool . Maybe in some places the logic can be traced, but this logic is "a spherical horse in a vacuum."

          And who told you that all these launches were only in the interests of customers from the United States? The customer is guided by two parameters - reliability and price, if the customer has gone to the states, then he was not satisfied with the prices and reliability of the launch from Roscosmos. We need to work, not to threaten with trampolines, and even more so in the conditions of unfair competition imposed on us.

    hi SpaceX aims to launch the Bangabandhu-1 satellite on Friday, May 11, from the 39A Launch Complex (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The two-hour launch window opens at 16:14 EDT or 20:14 UTC. The backup start window opens on Saturday, May 12 at 16: 15 Eastern time or 20: 15 GMT.
    The Bangabandhu-1 satellite was launched into the geostationary transfer orbit (TRP) approximately 33 minutes after launch.
    The Bangabandhu Satellite-1 mission will be the first to use the Falcon 9 Block 5, the final major upgrade to the Falcon 9 SpaceX booster. The Falcon 9 Block 5 is designed for 10 or more flights with very limited repairs, as SpaceX continues to strive for fast re-operation and extremely high reliability.
    After splitting the stage, SpaceX will land the Falcon 9 on a platform in the Atlantic Ocean.

    Still "trampoline"? tongue lol
    It’s even interesting for me - if Russia “takes offense” and leaves the “lunar project”, what mattresses will be built there. By the way, a very interesting idea (to leave), mattresses are known for their obliquity in space, and just the Lunar orbital station can and most likely will become that mego_fail tongue Now the most reasonable thing is to "negotiate" with China and, for example, India on a joint project. At least China has loot, and we have production capacities for the streaming production of missiles, which means that if our station does not stop completely, then we will ensure deliveries and we will have better emergency stability. good
