Полет индийских космонавтов на российском корабле может состояться в 2013 году

Индия намерена приобрести у России космический корабль "Союз" для отправки на орбиту двух космонавтов в 2013 году. Об этом сообщил в интервью «Интерфаксу» заместитель руководителя Роскосмоса Виталий Давыдов. По его словам, к 2013 году российская космическая корпорация "Энергия", которая строит пилотируемые корабли, обновит свою производственную базу и будет производить по пять "Союзов" в год. Давыдов сказал, что индийская сторона, помимо расходов по запуску корабля, должна будет оплатить подготовку российского космонавта, который возглавит экипаж. Проект предусматривает запуск индийских космонавтов на орбиту, но не работу на Международной космической станции, уточнил Давыдов.

Давыдов также сообщил, что к 2013 году РКК «Энергия» модернизирует свои производственные мощности и будет способна выпускать пять КК «Союз» ежегодно.

Кроме оплаты покупки корабля Индия также будет финансировать работу российского космонавта, который будет обучать индийских космонатов. Давыдов отметил, что проект предусматривает только запуск корабля на орбиту, стыковка с Международной космической станцией не предусматривается.

«Роскосмос» является государственной организацией, ответственной за реализацию российских космических программ.

This news is more than a week old. India is not "buying" Russia's Soyuz but is seeking Russian expertise in building its own manned spacecraft.

nope India is indeed buying Soyuz see Indian Space Sticky thread.

 

[conworldus]

That's ridiculous. Why would one wants to "buy" a space craft? I think India will be the first country in the world to do this.

To successfully launch a manned space mission you need, 1. a space craft 2. reliable rockets 3. a very well integrated ground system

If India buys Russian craft, it means it needs to buy the whole system, too! (I hope India doesn't try putting the craft on its unreliable agni rockets...) That's insane. The amount of technical difficult is not like transfering MKI tech... It is too complicated. One bit of failure in communication will create space disaster.

India will be better developing its own. It needs patience for this kind of stuff. This is a very risky move primed for disaster...

Well, India has the money, isn't it. And Russia can mass produce them. As a result, the Russians can easily mass produce one and give it to India so India can launch one. India do not even have to test the space craft like how US, Russia or China has to go through as it can have a proven system. I wonder if India plan to get this with TOT Maybe India should buy 50 of them and ask for TOT.

Buying means India funding a space mission from Russian soil so as to get an experience.

India can even relie on Russian ground control. It can save money from having to build one. However, India would use its own rocket though so it can claim that it is able to send Indians into space. Everything else besides the rocket can be imported or obtain through TOT, even ground base control can be outsourced. Maybe India can work out a deal with NASA to do call centers for US government agencies and India space agency can use NASA for controlling the space flight of Suyoz.

You sure? How would that be different from sending two Indians out to space as a space tourist with GOI flipping the bill?

What do you think where the Shenzhen came from ?.

That is a name of a city next to Hong Kong. I bet the other guys from Hong kong can better answer you.

Oops my mistake i meant Shenzhou

 

[faithfulguy]

Oops my mistake i meant Shenzhou

I do not know exactly where. But if I'm an engineer in China, I would study how others have build them, especially the US and Russia. I would trying to obtain as much information on them as possible as a basis of creating one. So its possible that certain aspect of it look similar to one from another country but China didn't import a spacecraft like what india is doing. Also, China is well known for copy other's technology and try to improve upon them so this may be on of those endeavers.
