Six Cosmonauts to Land on Mars in 2009.
Moscow, Russia (By:Mosnews.com), |created at: 01.00gmt, 11 april 2004|.
The Russian company Aviation Space Systems has developed a project for a piloted space mission to Mars, which may be undertaken as early as 2009, an executive from the company told Interfax Friday. The landing mission will involve six cosmonauts, the news agency reported.
Oleg Alexandrov, the general director of the company, said that the project would cost less than all its predecessors.
He told Interfax the project has been redirected for an expert opinion to the Central Research Institute for Machine Building.
Meanwhile, a source in the institute told Interfax that the project's uniqueness was not based on it using new technology, but on integrating technology already in use.
'This will allow a lowering of the costs down to about $3-5 billion,' the source said. In comparison, an analogous mission from the United States costs from $14 billion to $30 billion, Interfax reported.
Aviation Space Systems plans to launch two smaller satellites in an experimental flight, using the Rokot rocket-launchers. The satellites will be used to develop a new orientation system.
The project will also include the development of a new generation of massive space modules (project Angar).
