Russia Wants To Return To Venus
Meint jedenfalls Dmitry Rogozin der Chef von Roscosmos in einem Interview mit der staatlichen Nachrichtenagentur RIA Novosti.
Er zeigte sich auch unbeeindruckt vom jüngsten Erfolg der Amerikaner mit der Crew Dragon von SpaceX:
Its landing was "rather rough."
"It's not designed for ground landing - that's exactly why American colleagues chose to land on the water the way it was done 45 years ago," Rogozin said.
Immerhin möchte er ebenfalls eine wiederverwendbare erste Stufe einsetzen:
"We are making a methane rocket to replace the Soyuz-2, it will be a reusable space complex," noting that it will be possible to use its first stage at least 100 times.
"Of course we are looking at what our American colleagues are doing," said Rogozin. "But our engineers are trying to take a shortcut - not to repeat what our SpaceX colleagues are doing but surpass them."
Aber dann lamentiert er, dass wiederholte Budgetkürzungen solche Programme gefährden:
"I don't quite understand how to work in these conditions," he said. "We are seeing that leading foreign space agencies are increasing their budgets."
