This is a timeline of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos). In addition to launching satellites for other countries, Roscosmos does numerous satellite missions of its own, like Earth observation, military satellites, telecommunications, and Glosnass navigation satellites.[1]

Big picture

Time period Development summary
1991< With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine inherit the Soviet space program. Russia creates the Russian Aviation and Space Agency, now known as the Roscosmos State Corporation, while Ukraine creates the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU).[2]

Full timeline

Year Month and date Event type Details
1992 February 25 Creation Roscosmos is established with the name of Russian Space Agency, and inherits part of the Soviet space program. Yuri Koptev becomes the agency's first director.[1][2]
2004 March Director Yuri Koptev is replaced by Anatoly Perminov.<w:Roscosmos>
2006 Budget The budget for 2006 is of 25 billion rubles (about 900 million USD), a 33% increase from the 2005 budget.<w:Roscosmos>
2009 January The Koronas Foton is launched as a science mission.<w:Roscosmos>
2009 The federal space budget for the year stands at about 82 billion rubles ($2.4 billion).<w:Roscosmos>
2011 The government spends 115 billion rubles ($3.8 bln) in the national space programs.<w:Roscosmos>
2011 January New weather satellite Elektro L is launched.<w:Roscosmos>
2011 July Spektr R (RadioAstron) is launched.<w:Roscosmos>
2012 January Roscosmos operated mission Fobos-Grunt, an attempted sample return mission to Phobos, fails when probe crashes into the ocean after languishing in Earth orbit for more than two months.[3][4][5][6]
2012 May Roscosmos releases highest resolution satellite images of planet earth ever, taken by the Elecktro-L weather satellite.[7]
2012 October Partnership NASA and Roscosmos announce an agreement to send two crew members to the International Space Station on a one-year mission designed to collect valuable scientific data needed to send humans to new destinations in the solar system.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
2013 January Roscosmos announces process of designing and building a replacement for its ageing Soyuz rocket and space capsule system, with the aim of putting it into operation by 2020. The budget for the new rocket and capsule is set at 2.1 trillion rubles (US$69 billion). Roscosmos has plans to visit Mars in a joint mission with the European Space Agency.[14][15][16]
2013 March 16 NASA astronaut Kevin A. Ford, together with Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin of Roscosmos, return safely to Earth aboard Soyuz TMA-06M capsule which landed on the Kazakhstan steppe, after a five-month mission in the International Space Station.[17][18][19][20]
2013 April 19 Roscosmos launches its Bion-M1 space capsule into orbit packed with mice, geckos, gerbils, snails and fish, to begin a month-long experiment to study how space travel affects living creatures. Bion-M1 is Russia's first mission dedicated to launching animals into space in 17 years.[21][22]
2013 October Russia discharges Roscosmos chief Vladimir Popovkin after less than two years on the job because of a string of failed launches and other allegedly embarrassing incidents to the country's underfunded but fiercely proud space industry.[23]
2014 May Roscosmos rocket carrying its most advanced communication satellite to date falls back to Earth 545 seconds after it took off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome that Moscow leases in Kazakhstan. The US$205-million satellite—built by Airbus Group's Astrium corporation—was meant to provide Internet access to remote Russian regions with poor access to communication.[24][25][23][26][27][28]
2014 July A new Russian weather satellite lifts off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, riding a Soyuz launcher into space with six small piggyback satellites from the United Kingdom, the United States and Norway.[29][30]
2014 September Roscosmos cosmonaut Yelena Serova becomes the first female cosmonaut lifted off for the International Space Station, becoming also the first female cosmonaut to enter space in 17 years.[31][32]
2015 April 28 Roscosmos reports its robotic Progress M-27M cargo craft spaceship having failed rendezvous with the International Space Station for a delivery, and having been destroyed during a fiery plunge through Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.[33][34][35][36][37][38]
2015 May 16 Russian proton rocket carrying a Mexican satellite malfunctions and burns up over Siberia soon after launch, in what becomes the second space mission failure for Roscosmos, in less than a month.[39][40][41][42][43][44]
2015 The Russian government merges Roscosmos with the United Rocket and Space Corporation, the renationalized Russian space industry, to create Roscosmos State Corporation.<w:Roscosmos>
2015 Spektr UV (Ultra Violet, 2016) is launched.<w:Roscosmos>
2015 Elektro P is launched.<w:Roscosmos>
2015 January Igor Komarov becomes Director.<w:Roscosmos>
2015 December 28 The Corporation is established on the basis of the now-defunct Federal Space Agency. Roscosmos was previously known as the Russian Aviation and Space Agency.<w:Roscosmos>
2016 March The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos launch a rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to Mars under joint ExoMars Mission to find life on the red planet.[45][46][47][48][49][50]
2016 April Roscosmos successfully launches its inaugural rocket (Soyuz-2.1A) from the new Vostochny Cosmodrome in the remote Amur Oblast near China's border.[51][52][53]
2016 June Partnership Roscosmos Administrator Igor Komarov announces an agreement between Russia's space agency and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to create a joint satellite constellation for remote earth sensing.[54]
2016 July Roscosmos announces project of a Moon base that will eventually hold up to 12 people. The space agency plans to launch an unmanned lunar probe in 2024 to assess where the colony could be built.[55][56][57][58]
2017 March The Roscosmos announces open enrolment to recruit cosmonauts to fly to the moon. The team is expected to be the first aboard Russia's new spaceship, Federation. Open enrolment would continue until the end of 2017, and Roscosmos plans to select between six and eight cosmonauts.[59][60][61][62]
2017 July Roscosmos plans to create a seamless, periodically updated digital model of the entire Earth’s surface with a resolution of about 1 m based on remote sensing data. The digital representation is expected to be used in agriculture, forestry, land inventory, cartography, regional administration, and also for emergency relief.[63]
2017 September 27 Partnership NASA and Roscosmos sign a joint statement to develop a space station in lunar orbit. The joint statement between the two agencies is signed at the 68th International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia.[64][65][66][67][68][69]
