In the Research Institute of Accurate Devices (NII TP), a fundamentally new system is developed for rapprochement and docking spacecraft, allowing to fight parasitic signals when docking ships to the International Space Station (ISS), Roskosmos says.
“This is for us the biggest” Beach “. It was with the” parasites “they fought at the stage of using the” Needle “(used on the Soviet spacecraft. Then the opposition objects were relatively simple on the configuration, which would not say about the modern ISS, “said the chief designer of radio engineering systems of mutual measurements of the NII TP Sergey Medvedev.
in his opinion, the radio systems will remain relevant, since “on lunar and planetary orbits will not be so numerous groups of satellites, as now in the near-earth, and therefore global navigation will not provide the required accuracy.”
The Washington Post newspaper wrote that the American company Spacex destroyed the Roskosmos monopoly on the delivery of people to the ISS, but the head of NASA Bill Nelson hopes to continue effective cooperation on this project with Russia.
In the same month, the magazine “Russian Cosmos” brought a statement by the head of Roskosmos Dmitry Rogozin, according to which the state corporation plans to bring the nuclear tug “Zeus” into space.
