On Wednesday, August 20, at 20:13:10 Moscow time, a unique scientific mission, the Bion-M No. 2 spacecraft, is scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov on funding for domestic cosmonautics, robotic rovers, and landing on Venus...We expect the launch of the next Bion to take place in the next five to six years. We expect it to fly in 2030. Unlike the current apparatus, which is operated at an altitude of about 380 km, the new satellite will be launched into a higher orbit - about 800 km. This will make it possible to study the factors of space flight in conditions of even more severe radiation exposure....According to current plans, the Luna-26 orbital station will be launched in 2028. Its main task is to select suitable landing sites. Then, in 2029 and 2030, the Luna-27.1 and Luna-27.2 landing modules will be sent to the South and North Poles of the Moon. In another three to four years, the Luna-28 mission will take place, which will deliver samples of lunar soil to Earth. The Luna-29 orbital station will also be launched. In addition to research, it will act as a repeater. In 2035–2036, Luna-30 with a heavy lunar rover will be sent to the satellite for long-term scientific research....According to the plan, the new Russian automatic interplanetary station Venera-D will be launched in 2036. The draft design includes requirements for collecting comprehensive data at three levels — the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere and on the planet's surface. Special modules are being created for each of these stages — an orbital station, balloons, and a landing craft, respectively....... in 2031, Spektr-UV will be launched — a space telescope for surveying the sky in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This large-scale project is designed to study the Universe, black holes, gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars and other space objects. We assume that Spektr-UV will replace the Hubble telescope, which has significantly exceeded its intended service life.The next key project to be implemented within the boundaries of the adopted federal project is the Spektr-M (Millimetron) observatory with a 10-meter mirror. It will operate in the millimeter and submillimeter ranges inaccessible from Earth. This will allow us to study the processes of the origin of our Universe, as well as explore exoplanets and water accumulations in space, which can help in the search for alternative forms of life....— What tools are Russian scientists creating to study the Sun?— The two most significant programs in this area are the Resonance and Arka spacecraft. They are also included in the federal project. Resonance will be aimed at studying the impact of the solar wind on the magnetosphere and ionosphere of our planet. Its task is to understand the mechanisms of the star's influence on near-Earth space. "Arka" is a space observatory, which is focused on a detailed study of the physics of the Sun. This observatory will allow for a high-precision analysis of the star's surface, structure and dynamics of sunspots. It should be noted that orbital "solar" projects will be integrated into a single system with the ground infrastructure of the National Heliogeophysical Complex of the Russian Academy of Sciences - a complex of mega-installations that are being built near Irkutsk. Their joint work will create a single powerful system for monitoring solar activity. This is critically important not only for fundamental science, but also for predicting space weather, which affects the operation of satellites in orbit, as well as energy, communications and navigation systems on Earth.

In the winter of 2026/2027, Russian schoolchildren will send a unique satellite into space, assembled by their own hands....– The satellite is called MIET-SatLab, which stands for space laboratory. It includes two payloads: a probe microscope, which Boris Loginov previously spoke about, and a software-configurable radio. In addition, this satellite will also have a small camera installed, which will take photographs of outer space and the Earth from orbit.

Regarding Aist-2T 1&2, Roscosmos has informed its partners that the working launch date is December 30th. Glavkosmos previously announced the target date as December 10th. What is certain is that the launch will not take place on either the 10th or the 30th, and the exact date is unknown. Your opinions are certainly welcome.
