Roscosmos drafted by the Federal Space Program for 2016-2025 years.
The paper cut operating costs of the International Space station by almost 30 billion rubles. The final version of the program, which is directed to the ministries, operating costs for the ISS mission control, logistics and transport support of the Russian segment, as well as to ensure the program of scientific experiments, provided funding in the amount of 252.1 billion rubles. 10 years. The previous version was listed amount of 281.4 billion rubles.
The total estimated the PCF at the insistence of the Ministry of Finance decreased by a quarter – up to 1.521 trillion rubles. “Izvestia” noted that the main causes of the reduction of spending on the program was to reduce the overall expenditure budget, as well as changes in exchange rates.
The main cost reduction affected manned space flight, including the costs have been cut to the projects of the lunar program. In addition, the Federal Space Agency refused to work on the construction of a transformed and power modules. At the same time, the creation has started modules for the ISS will continue.
At the end of November last year, it was reported that the Russian Federal Space Agency for projects up to 2025 from the federal budget will allocate 1.5 trillion rubles. Later, it was reported that of the PCF were excluded programs associated with the exploration and colonization of the Moon. This, according to the media, resulting in savings of $ 88.5 billion. Roscosmos these rumors denied.
In general, the reduction was subjected section manned missions: from the PCF cut long-term projects of the “Lunar Program”: “Creation of a lunar landing complex” (ROC “PPTK-2″) ” Creating a lunar orbital station “(ROC” VOC Phase 1 “),” Creation of a lunar base “(ROC” LB Phase 1 “),” Creation of a lunar space suit “(ROC” LB Lskaf “),” Creation of the robot software on the Moon ” (ROC “LB Robot»).
In addition to this the project FCP-25 struck out a number of projects linked to the ISS, giving up such works as “The creation of the convertible module” (ROC “PPOI (TM) “) and” Creating energy module “(ROC” PPOI (EM) »).
The construction of already begun modules for the ISS will continue: it a multipurpose laboratory module (MLM launch in 2017) the hub module (UM launch in 2018), and scientific power module (NEM launch in 2019). The construction and development of new modules reserved 12.6 billion rubles.
Once the ISS is the article “Formation and scientific and technical support for the program of scientific and applied research and experiments aboard the Russian segment of the ISS … The definition of the resource elements of the design and buildings “(ROC” ISS Science “) with a budget of 4.2 billion rubles. In this paper, as stated in the draft of the PCF-25, including a plan to finance the “Program of working out in the Russian segment of the ISS elements promising technologies of manned space infrastructure.” Obviously, this is a promising space station that the Russian Federation might be to build on co-financing with one or more of the countries of BRICS. But it is noteworthy that the work to identify forward-looking image of the station (OCD and entitled) of the project FCP-25 disappeared.
Total Roscosmos ISS requests the State 268.9 billion rubles. The total estimate under “Manned flights” in the project PCF-25 – 329.7 billion rubles.
Extra-budgetary investment in the ISS is quite likely: RSC “Energy”, for example, has stated that it plans to start sending regular programs ISS space tourists, each of which pays for the flight of tens of millions of dollars. But in the next 2 years to carry tourists will not work – space on Russian spacecraft purchased by NASA. While not referring to the flow of a serious off-budget, we can calculate that the average ISS Russia is ready to spend 26.8 billion rubles a year, including the construction of its new segments. According to the current exchange rate is approximately $ 360 million.
Earlier, the former head of manned programs Roscosmos Alexei Krasnov in an interview with “Izvestia” claimed that the content of the ISS costs $ 6-6.5 billion per year, of which the budget NASA covers half of the remaining costs divided the European Space Agency, the Japanese Space Agency and Roscosmos. The total contribution of the Russian Space Agency at that time, that is, in the spring of 2013, Krasnov is estimated at $ 1 billion a year.
– When the cut is necessary to seriously manned space program focus can not be evaded, so the present sequestration is quite logical – says scientific director of the Space Policy Institute, Ivan Moiseyev. – But at the same time in this section, there are some lower limit – the cost of the ISS. Russia is obliged to maintain and service the station, so there’s a lot to save not succeed. In this situation, it would be logical to abandon the construction of a new manned spacecraft, because if the moon we do not fly, then a vehicle for lunar missions like as long as we do not really need. Prior to the ISS astronauts get on well “union”. However, deletion of such a large project (58.2 billion rubles in the project FCP-25. – “News”) is bad for the state of RSC “Energia” – the parent structure of the Russian Space Agency’s manned space program in. So by all means to protect the project, and a huge public relations of the new ship, the name of public elections for him – this is also a kind of defense of the project.
