🇷🇺🤝🇿🇦 The Russian Optical and Electronic Complex for Detection and Measurement of the Movement Parameters of Space Debris has opened in South Africa
🔹During the opening ceremony, Yury Borisov, Director General of Roscosmos, emphasised that the rapid growth of participants in space exploration and satellites in orbit leads to an increasing collision threats. Under these conditions, it is important to develop space monitoring stations and strive for global coverage of space by such means.
🔹Yury Borisov also expressed hope that co-operation between Russia and South Africa will develop in a dynamic manner, and the open complex will not be the last joint project.
🔹According to Humbulani Mudau, CEO of the South African National Space Agency, South Africa plans to dispatch two female astronauts to the International Space Station, and hopes to fulfil this plan in the next two years.

Modern Russian lunar probe has been successfully launched today!
🚀 The Russian space program has launched a probe to the Moon for the first time since 1976.
🛰 Luna-25 blasted off from the Vostochny spaceport in Amur Region and is aiming to touch down in the southern polar region by August 21.
The probe’s objective is to carry out scientific research in the southern polar region of the Moon. The mission is scheduled to run for one year.
🌐 The flight itself is supposed to take five days, with two trajectory corrections along the way. The last phase will take about three days and set the probe on a circumpolar orbit at an altitude of around 100 kilometers. In the fourth phase, Luna-25 will switch to an elliptical landing orbit with a minimum altitude of 18 kilometers and carry out a soft landing in the south polar region.

🛰 November 20 marks the 25th anniversary of launching construction of the International Space Station (ISS) in near-Earth orbit
🚀 A quarter of a century ago, a Proton-K rocket launched its first element, the Zarya (Dawn) functional cargo module, which remains a part of the station’s Russian segment to this day.
The ISS remains the largest multi-national project in the field of space exploration. The capabilities of this unique research laboratory make it possible to pursue a wide range of applied science objectives in the interests of all humankind.
☝️ The experience gained by 🇷🇺 specialists during the successful operation of the ISS over the years provides a solid foundation for further expanding mutually beneficial and equitable cooperation in outer space with all the interested partners.
