Commenting on the tasks facing the military-industrial complex supervised by him, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin highly appreciated the achievements of Russian gunsmiths and spoke about the exploration of the moon, which could become a super-task.

As Rogozin assured on the air of the Vesti FM radio station, the State Armament Program planned for implementation until 2020 will be implemented. After the modernization of the Armed Forces, the share of new weapons, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, will be 70%.

Rogozin named "special chemistry, special gunpowder" among the problematic branches of the defense industry. It is expected that the renewal of chemical plants will take two to three years, he said.

Despite the fact that the small arms industry is currently “in a difficult situation,” it also has great successes, the official said. According to Rogozin, the new types of weapons created at TsNIItochmash in Klimovsk - a pistol and a sniper rifle - are the best in Europe. Now the vice-premier is going to take the chairman of the government to the enterprise to show him the achievements of specialists.

It should be noted that TsNIITochmash produces the SR-1M ("Gyurza") self-loading pistol for special forces and law enforcement agencies; submachine gun SR-2M, "Veresk"; small-sized machine gun SR-3M ("Whirlwind"). In addition, special silent small arms are produced: the AS "Val" submachine gun, the VSS "Vintorez" 9-mm sniper rifle, and the PSS "Vul" silent pistol. The enterprise also created underwater small arms: the APS submachine gun and the SPP-1M pistol.

Rogozin proposed to create a base on the moon

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on the air of the Vesti FM radio station suggested that Roscosmos create a space research base on the moon. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, such a project could become a "super-goal" of the Russian space program, a stimulus for the development of science and industry.

“Russian cosmonauts have learned to be in gravity, work in orbit, conduct the necessary experiments there. Why not try to make a large station on the Moon, which would become the base for further “leaps” in science,” Rogozin said.

As the official noted, the Russian space industry now simply needs to determine the most important task, and this does not have to be a base on the moon. "There may be other proposals. We need to argue, we need to offer," he said.

Recall that the "Development Strategy until 2030" includes "operation of the lunar orbital base in the visited mode, maintenance and repair of large spacecraft and interorbital tugs in near-Earth orbits." The program suggests that a manned spacecraft could go to the moon as early as 2020.

However, recently the head of Roscosmos, Vladimir Popovkin, stipulated the conditions for the landing of Russians on the moon. According to him, this will only happen if it is confirmed that there is water on the Earth's satellite. Popovkin did not mention the ambitions of the space department for the exploration of the moon.

However, inconsistency is typical not only for Roskomos, but also for Rogozin himself. RBC recalls his directly opposite statement made in March. “Why do we need to fly to the Moon? What can we find useful there? Maybe there are other tasks related to Mars, Venus and the study of solar physics?” the Deputy Prime Minister said then.

On the crisis and "end-to-end management" in Roskomos

In an interview with the Vesti FM radio station, Dmitry Rogozin touched on the topic of the crisis in the industry, which is regularly discussed in the press in connection with a series of failed spacecraft launches. The Deputy Prime Minister said that the situation is not as critical as it might seem. "We do not have a systemic crisis in the space industry," the official is sure.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, in order to restore order in the industry, it is necessary to solve problems at individual enterprises. According to Rogozin, the main problems of the industry are a large percentage of manual labor at enterprises, their low equipment and the elderly average age of the staff.

According to Rogozin, in the next two months a new system in the management of the space industry will be formulated - "end-to-end management" will appear. "Recertification of executives will be carried out, new leaders will be appointed on a competitive basis," he promised, noting that he would personally monitor the progress of the recertification.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that purges had been carried out in the industry before. Numerous abuses of official duties of the industry management were revealed. So, some heads of space enterprises, according to him, appointed themselves salaries of 5 million rubles, with an average salary of 30 thousand rubles. According to Rogozin, Popovkin told him about this. The official noted that this topic is currently closed. “Now, of course, we have finished this whole story cheerfully. But in general, yes, these are the great directors we had,” he concluded.

At the same time, according to the vice-premier, the problem cannot be solved "by scolding and purges alone". It is necessary to work not only with personnel, but also develop uniform technical requirements for products in the space industry.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin called the poor "organization of the case" the main problem of the state corporation Roscosmos. Nevertheless, the "space" plans of the government include an early lunar landing of the Luna-25 station. Speaking about the development prospects, the Deputy Prime Minister noted that the situation as a whole "is not so catastrophic and dramatic."

Rogozin positively assesses the situation in general in this area. Russia will carry out the development, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, without imposing itself as a partner of the United States. “We will definitely not conduct any negotiations in order to impose ourselves on the Americans as partners. The situation is far from being so catastrophic and dramatic, he noted.

As for the Moon, we are going to send the Luna-25 station in 2019: this is a small landing module that should land on the moon.”

Until 2030, the lunar program involves the construction of stations both on the surface of the moon and on. “In 2022, 2023 and after 2025, more stations will be built, including those that will operate in the orbit of the Moon.

The lander will descend to the surface, enter the layer of lunar soil," Rogozin said. And at this stage, according to him, "cooperation with the United States would be very good, but not at any cost: we definitely will not go to the apprenticeship."

One Comment

In the early 1990s, the United States had already asked to become an "apprentice" in the Russian-American program for probing Mars under the auspices of NASA. The fact is that the United States did not have and does not have either the technology or equipment for subsurface probing of planets - in conditions of high-resistance and low-contrast parameters of the subsurface section. Similar to permafrost soils (permafrost zone of the Arctic), when there is no moisture, and the water is in a bound state. Ever since 1975-77. IKI of the USSR Academy of Sciences entrusted the most important research work “Investigation of the possibility of sounding the Moon” to two Saratov research institutes - NIIMF SGU and NVNIIGG. The theoretical problem was solved on the basis of the Saratov brand of electromagnetic sounding of the TSB. Then, on an initiative basis, a ZSB device for the nanosecond range was developed and manufactured and successfully tested in August 1978. in the city of Mirny, in the Batuobinsky expedition - in the permafrost zone for the tasks of prospecting and exploration of primary and alluvial diamond deposits. 40 years have passed and so far no one in the world, including NASA and Harvard USA, has been able to repeat our Saratov results. However, ROSCOSMOS, after the failure of NASA's US international program of probing Mars, completely excluded subsurface probing of planets from its programs, and NASA the USA made subsurface probing of planets a priority in all its programs! WHY?

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin proposes to build a scientific station on the Moon.

Moon exploration

“I would propose to solve a big task, such a task could be the creation of a lunar station,” Rogozin said on Tuesday live on the Vesti FM radio station. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, such an undertaking could become a "super task" for the Russian space program, an incentive for the development of science and industry.

“We have great competition between countries in space activities, and therefore there should be a big super-goal that will pull science and industry along with it, which will allow the country to break out of the captivity of problems in which we have been for 20 years,” Rogozin explained.

"Russian cosmonauts have learned how to work in orbit, to conduct the necessary experiments there. Why not try to make a large station on the Moon, which would become the base for further "jumps" in science," Rogozin suggested. “This is a big, prestigious, political task,” Rogozin added.

He added that the Russian space industry needs to determine the most important task, it does not have to be a base on the moon. “There may be other proposals. We need to argue, we need to offer, ”Rogozin concluded.

Personnel composition

The Deputy Prime Minister intends to personally re-certify the leadership of the space industry. “There should be a recertification of executives, I myself will conduct it myself, and we will introduce competitiveness when appointing directors to enterprises,” Rogozin said.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the subjective factor in the appointment of directors of enterprises leads to the "aging" of the space industry and a decrease in the level of responsibility of its employees. “A decision was made yesterday that in the next two months, together with the expert council of the government of the Russian Federation, a new structure for the manageability of the industry will be formulated, because the way it is now managed is not managed, there is no special control,” Rogozin added.

In addition, Rogozin announced the creation of a personnel reserve for the Russian defense industry. “Last week before last, the Security Council decided to support the idea introduced by the Military-Industrial Commission (under the government of the Russian Federation) and create a “thousand personnel” for the Russian “defense industry”, look for people, including from private business,” he said. . Rogozin recalled that a council on public-private partnership is currently being created under the Military Industrial Commission, which will be based on business representatives. “If they go into the defense industry, the quality of our production may change,” the deputy chairman of the Russian government believes.

The Russian space industry is about half loaded and needs a very deep reform, Rogozin said. “The industry is oversized. In our country, there are several large concerns that simultaneously produce similar products - control systems, launch systems, space satellites, engines. And we ourselves cannot load the space industry inside the country - it is approximately half loaded, and we cannot control the quality either, with such a wide range of products it is impossible to control everything," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

In addition, Rogozin noted that it is necessary to determine what tasks Russia will solve in space. “The question arose that a really deep reform is needed. But where to start it, with the struggle for quality? You won't get much from this. There is only one main task now - Russia must formulate its goals for outer space, what are we achieving?”, the Deputy Prime Minister explained. According to him, from the documents that have been prepared so far in the space industry, it can be concluded that Russia "planned to fly there and visit here, to continue manned cosmonautics to the ISS." “There is no architecture of values, no clear understanding of the intent. This was discussed at a meeting with the Prime Minister,” the Deputy Prime Minister concluded.

The head of the Russian government, Dmitry Medvedev, held a meeting on Monday with the heads of space industry enterprises on issues of ensuring the quality and reliability of space technology. In particular, the Prime Minister said that Russia's spending on space technology in the coming years will amount to 670 billion rubles. Earlier it was reported that on August 15, Roscosmos submitted to the government of the Russian Federation the draft “Strategy for the development of space activities in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030”. The head of Roscosmos, Vladimir Popovkin, noted that by the end of the year, the department plans to complete discussions on this document with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development.
