Chairman of the Board of the Association “Earth from Space” Olga Gershezon told Pravda.Ru about what innovations Russia should learn from the United States in the space field.
– Due to the strained US-Russian relations NASA to accelerate the creation of its own manned spacecraft, the Russian counterparts “Union.” Contracts for the construction of these ships is a new generation of aerospace company signed an agreement with Boeing and SpaceX. The total amount of the contracts is $ 6.8 billion. Launch of the new ships will be produced with the United States (Florida). Will this second experience of creating your own best American ships, and ships more reliable than those that flew in the Space Shuttle program?
-Don’t think we can assume that they something was unsuccessful. We just lucky that they did not realize it more focused, so use our ships. For us, these sanctions – a chance to develop our industry, if we are to behave and help high-tech business, including working on import substitution. Of course, this forced things, but we must use them wisely.
– One of the reasons for termination of the program Spacey Space Shuttle in 2011, called the big spending. Are the United States is now pouring huge sums in the space program, given their considerable spending on military operations in other continents?
-Do them all enough money. And most importantly, this sensible policy in the field of space: in 2003 the United States passed a law that states that all that is able to make the private sector, should not be bought by the state. Why and got company SpaceX, which makes it very cost-effective manned spacecraft. The private business has a chance to get into government contracts, and this is what has helped them to grow very quickly. We must take all that is best in the world, and to do it at home, to develop their industries.
– Whether the corporation cheaper production given the fact that the same company buys titanium for Boeing aircraft construction in Russia, and now, as you know, the sanctions?
I’m not a great expert is in the aviation industry, but I think that, again due to the involvement of the private business, they can be very rational. Another thing is how long it takes. This quickly, in any event, is not done in the industry. Someone needs to make a compromise.
– will suffer if the Russian space industry? Should we wait for a new space race the United States and Russia?
– I hope that reason will prevail and we will co-operate with the international community, rather than in isolation. Insulation will not make anyone happy, that’s the most important thing. We all live on one planet, and the more we prove to each other that we are strong, the sooner we will be nowhere to live. And to choose, you may have to yet to live on garbage or look at the littered, ditching our planet. We must unite to fight for real problems: climate change, the huge loss of forests, land, etc. opustnynivanie But instead we are fighting for is not clear that it is not clear to anyone.
