State Space Corporation Roscosmos

Roscosmos is a State Corporation that was established in August 2015 to oversee and implement a comprehensive reform of the Russian space industry.

Roscosmos prepares to launch the meteorological satellite Meteor-M 2-4 on a Soyuz 2.1b rocket.

Roscosmos ranked third in lift capacity with 17,475 kilograms.

Crew-5 launched in October 2022 on a SpaceX Crew mission with Nicole Mann, Josh Cassada, Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina.

Luch was listed as belonging to Russia's fleet of 'civilian and dual-purpose satellites' by Roscosmos in early 2022.

Both Luch/Olimp and Luch-5X/Yenisei-2 cannot be linked to Roscosmos or the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Expedition 70 crew members currently working on the International Space Station include Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Konstantin Borisov.

Roscosmos has agreed to operate its participation on the International Space Station only through 2028 and plans station operations in four-year increments covering 2024–2028.

In 2018, Russia’s former head of financial audit flagged financial irregularities in Roscosmos, the country's space agency.

Yuri Borisov, head of Roscosmos, intends for Roscosmos to continue its lunar exploration program and is considering moving Luna-26 and Luna-27 earlier to obtain results more quickly.

NASA and Roscosmos decided weeks after the coolant leak not to use Soyuz MS-22 to return the crew and launched an uncrewed Soyuz MS-23 in February to replace it.

Roscosmos director general Yuri Borisov provided data that Luna-25’s engine fired for 127 seconds during the 2023-08-19 maneuver instead of the planned 84 seconds, placing the spacecraft on a trajectory to impact the moon.

NASA and Roscosmos agreed to launch Soyuz MS-23 uncrewed in February 2023 as a replacement after the Soyuz MS-22 coolant leak.

Roscosmos and NASA are negotiating a supplement to their integrated crew agreement that would include missions later in 2024 and into 2025.

Integrated crew arrangements between NASA and Roscosmos are in place through Tracy C. Dyson’s planned launch and through Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin’s assignment to the SpaceX Crew-8 mission in February 2024.

India's second mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-2, was initially planned as a joint mission with Russia, which was later canceled.

The next Crew Dragon mission to the ISS, Crew-8, is scheduled to launch in early 2024 with three NASA astronauts and one Roscosmos cosmonaut.

The uncrewed Roscosmos Progress 85 spacecraft launched at 9:08 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, 2023-08-22 (6:08 a.m. Baikonur time on 2023-08-23) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Luna-25 performed a maneuver on 2023-08-16 to enter orbit around the moon that Roscosmos characterized as successful, although the agency did not disclose the orbital parameters.

The European Space Agency had planned to test a navigation camera system on Luna-25 before ESA severed ties with Roscosmos in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
