Here’s an Early Look at Russia’s New Manned Spacecraft

While NASA and its commercial partners try hard to produce several raw American space vehicle so as to get American astronauts into Earth ’s orbit and beyond , Russia is working on its own new guile , too .

On Monday , the Russian Space Agency publisheda few exposure take at MAKS-2015 , the 12th International Aviation and Space Salon in Moscow — and amongst them are shots showing Russia ’s Modern spacecraft , presently under development . It was the first public display of the novel Russian manned transport craft , which is being work up to replace the trustworthy Soyuz - TMA that contain astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station .

The Divine of the raw foxiness ? The Russian space industry giantRSC Energia , which unveiled its so - called “ Modern - generation crew transportation spacecraft ” at the show . The Modern craft has been under exploitation for a decade now , and is something of a linchpin for Russia ’s hereafter in space , since it ’s designed to carry cosmonauts to the Moon and Mars , too . But it does n’t have a name yet — and the company launched a competitionlooking for a finalized name today .

It ’s part of a project call theProspective Piloted Transport System(PPTS ) , which is expected to replace both the Soyuz TMA manned spacecraft organisation and the Progress loading ships . RSC Energia will be test the capsules over the next few months . accord to its plans , the first unmanned orbital test flying of the Modern ballistic capsule , atop the new Angara garden rocket , is scheduled in 2021 , launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome , Russia ’s new spaceport currently under mental synthesis . That ’s a way off — so let ’s see what they ’ve got go on in 2015 . Here ’s the body of the reentry vehicle with a Russian place suit in the foreground :

It ’s no arcanum that the new Russian space vehicle is alike in design and function to the Orion spacecraft developed by NASA . Note the landing legs and thrusters on the white mockup are similar to the legs and thruster of SpaceX ’s Dragon V2 :

This looks like some kind of carbon - character - reinforce polymer :
