Russia's Exit From European Space Agency Mars Mission Gives NASA An Opportunity by sapientia(m): 11:56am On Mar 28, 2022 |
The European Space Agency (ESA) recently suspended work with Russia on its upcoming ExoMars mission, according to Space News. Not only has politics provided yet another delay for the mission to put a European rover on Mars but the decision is another step in the destruction of Russia's space program in the wake of that country's invasion of Ukraine. https://www.msn.com/en-xl/money/tech-and-science/russias-exit-from-european-space-agency-mars-mission-gives-nasa-an-opportunity/ar-AAVyN9a Mydn44 lalasticalala |

SUMMARY 1. Russia was never the first choice, they got the slot they are boasting about because Obama backed backed out ExoMars has had a history of disruption due to political decisions by partners. The project started with NASA as the primary partner with the ESA. However, as part of his fiscal year 2013 budget request, then-President Barack Obama terminated the partnership. 2. Currently, the aim have not been achieved The Angara's most recent test ended in failure from a glitch in the rocket's Persei upper stage 3. NASA have been landing probes successfully The Kazachok lander is already in Europe but since it is based on the failed Schiaparelli lander, the ESA might want to replace it as well. NASA has been landing probes on Mars successfully for decades. Something could be worked out, if not in time for the 2024 launch window, certainly for the 2026 one. 4. Russia will be loser cos whatever they were provided will be done by others Russia, of course, will be the big loser. Its ill-considered invasion of Ukraine has already made that country an international pariah. The impact on the Russian space program is beyond evaluation. Already, the One Web satellite constellation, kicked off of a Russian launcher and has found a new provider in SpaceX. Simply put, Russia never had any leverage, they just opened up lucrative deals for Elon Musk |
