Russia To Carry Out Up To 20 Space Projects By 2015

Under the Federal space program for 2006-2015 Russia plans to conduct over 20 scientific projects. Russia plans to build a special-purpose spacecraft fitted with scientific equipment and focus research on fields like astrophysics, and planetary science. Current travel plans include flights to Phobos, the Mars satellite, and to the Moon.
"We are very proud that our country was the first (talking about sattelite launch in 1957). Our current space potential is sufficient for all areas of space research and exploration activity, from spacecraft development to the result, leading into orbit," Anatoly Perminov said. "The fundamental research performed within the short period [50 years] has changed our view of the world."
