Roscosmos set to implement super-heavy rocket project after 2030
Russia's State Space Corporation Roscosmos is set to implement the project of creating a super-heavy carrier rocket for flights to the Moon after 2030, Roscosmos Chief Dmitry Rogozin told TASS on Friday.
"A super-heavy carrier rocket is needed to send a crew to the Moon. We have all the components for creating this super powerful spacecraft. We are planning to implement the project of the super-heavy launch vehicle within the framework that we earlier mentioned - after 2030," the Roscosmos chief said.
A heavy manned spacecraft that will undergo required flight development tests in low near-Earth orbit is needed to deliver the crew to the Moon, Rogozin explained.
"We can organize a manned mission to the Moon when we fully test the system of landing on and taking off from the Moon that will be based on the Luna-28 lunar mission technology," he elaborated.
The Roscosmos chief said in March last year that the Luna-28 inter-planetary automatic station intended to bring lunar soil (regolith) to Earth would be designed as a lunar take-off and landing vehicle.
