Otwarcie mówi się już o kryzysie (zapaści) rosyjskiej kosmonautyki.
Plan jest.
Rosja rozumie już, że tylko przy współpracy międzynarodowej może sięgać dalej w kosmos.
Czy w tym roku się uda z Exo Mars 2016 ? Optymizm wydaje się ograniczony.
The Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, is itself in financial limbo but went ahead and announced its programme for the next decade in January, though the plan has yet to be confirmed, said Igor Marinin, editor of Space News magazine.
"Now there is no plan, so there is no financing and Roscosmos is taking out loans just to pay salaries," he told AFP. "For this reason, I'm sceptical, and I don't think we will make a good landing platform in the time that's left."
Roscosmos chief Igor Komarov last month admitted that Russia "does not have financial capabilities for advanced space projects."
He also complained that it was difficult to import some critical components, a problem caused by Western sanctions imposed over Moscow's intervention in Ukraine.
