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> | |
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.[1][2][3] | |
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.[4][5][6][7] | |
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.[8][9] | |
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.[10] | |
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.[11][12][10][13][14][15] | |
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.[16][17] | |
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.[18][19] | |
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.[20][21][22][23][24][25] | |
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.[26][27][28][29][30][31] | |
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.[32][33][34][35][36][37] | |
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.[38][39][40] | |
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.[41][42][43][44] |
