welcome back you're watching our t.v. it's half past the hour every couple the headlines rebels claim they've made fatherhood falses in eastern libya meanwhile the foreign as strikes continues with claims hundreds of thousands of fleeing the conflict stricken country. and russia stop general says the coalition's as strikes in libya have brought no results and it's likely that ground troops will soon be on their way that russia's envoy to nature meanwhile believes deadlines could find itself involved in another major war such as those soon and afghanistan and iraq. and a quarter of

a million have marched in london against the british government's huge eights have been impounded public spending cuts that was serious funds from a breakaway group off the peaceful demonstration largest in the country since a massive rally against the iraq invasion eight years ago. europe's state now next update in which we ask if the space race died along with the cold war. hello and welcome to technology update april twelfth two thousand and eleven marks the fiftieth anniversary of an incredible achievement to put soviet science and innovation not just on top of the world but beyond this world altogether. it was that day in one nine hundred sixty one that saw the unprecedented launch of man

into orbit the soviet cosmonaut yuri gagarin making history aboard of us talk spacecraft going in became a hero and the whole world caught space fever but behind the scenes the technology that made man flight possible had been a top priority for over a decade with both peaceful and military objectives siggy could go along with talented specialists like but he told masterminded the soviet rocket program that emerged after the second world war as with their rivals in the us this soviets first developed rockets based on the german v. two that it was known as the r one first tested in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight soviet engineers work simultaneously on original designs that would create new rockets in quick succession within a decade to first of the now famous r seven family would be ready to launch sputnik . for me. with all its details especially the control system and its modifications to me was

like oh yeah. well the fact i would say that they need love and we will do all in love with the rocket progressed incredibly quickly. the first rockets were designed to manufactured within two years. thanks to the efforts of his builders that with the design turned out to be so good. even today only based only original construction of. a used. on the same lines that started turning out early model back in the late one nine hundred fifty s. today's most reliable use launchers are produced with unparalleled precision construction progress in the russian city of simyra continues to rely on the design pioneered by. their colleagues tapping the rockets to fit the changing needs of the

russian space program as well as those of the international clients. seems to get younger every year to its components. change the control system in the tell metric system. and upgrading the engine. of the rockets overall functionality is increasing. in more than a half century of history seven has had many faces and many firsts it was the first i.c.b.m. the first satellite carrier the first to put humans in space and in modifications today is still the only launcher ever used to put soviet or russian cosmonauts into orbit. distinctions for the developers of tomorrow's best rockets progress is actively evolving new designs to meet new challenges in the aerospace

industry and it's not just the russian spacecraft said to shoot skyward on progress built site a recent breakthrough in international cooperation has been keeping them busy since the european space agency chose a new generation rocket noticed this i used to ask for a soon to be opened new package at its south american space complex. business you would not. now for two of our rockets are currently stationed the go on a space center true though the infrastructure was created and developed are complex . missiles past the test security that they are both on the move up in it think we should this launch pad is functional and in a full it will take a rocket in the mobile service tower for a draw when you see just what i know that women were counting down to list. for russian space engineers it's a new mission on a new con tropico french guyana is a far cry from the traditional russian launching ground on the cossacks step and

they've been working with european partners for the better part of a decade to ensure the site is ready to launch pad will be unique in sight use a storied history first incorporate a mobile service tower and the first to install the rockets payload in vertical instead of horizontal position. the launch melt will also be fixed instead of rotating so the rocket itself has been designed as the first in our seven family capable of roll maneuvers for proper post launch positioning with first liftoff slated for august or september of this year the caruso use center will give european satellite launch capacity a much needed boost and will be yet another in a long list of high points produced by russia's progress. the technological level in capacity of this plant and several other high tech factories that work among other things with cryogenics equipment will allow us to develop

a new launcher under the name we're use. it will be used at russia's new launch pad the cosmodrome. both russia many of the world watches have cared for a conflict on the privilege of crossing russia over one hundred fifty million dollars a year. hold the oil. program but here is. the soviet and russian space programs have blasted off from several sites spread across the country's vast territory but with the real heavy lifter now left outside russia's borders future hopes are being pinned on the plan cosmodrome russian for east. could be hosting launches by twenty six tuesday and it's appealing for more reasons than independence from russia's neighbors building from the ground up

lets the site be fully outfitted in twenty first century technology proximity to the pacific ocean both for transporting equipment to the base and for homeless descent of rocket boosters expended with each launch russian prime minister vladimir putin made his way to the future in the region of russia's far east groundbreaking in august of two thousand and ten. stages as a leading space. prove a country's access to space as will be capable of launching ships into orbit this includes. positions to the moon and. it's central to these plans may have been designed. but it will lift off on the power of engines built by another key player in russia's aerospace industry moscow based in the. following and. we've chosen the.

world that we've developed for sale to american. the v. one of the stores. we've made some adjustments to adapt it to the rockets that will fly from the. primary design elements will be changed a little of the technical name to improving the. engines will be made. back in the late soviet period in a marsh where the makers of the r d one seventy the most powerful liquid fuel rocket engine in history in the ninety's they started work on a new model they cut down to two combustion chambers instead of four and found a powerful partner in the u.s. aerospace giant lockheed martin now enjoying with boeing in a joint venture called united launch alliance the americans used to already won eighty as the first stage engine on their workhorse applets five rocket previous editions of the atlas launchers used three engines in place of the one powerful in

march model the already won eighty produces nearly a million pounds force of thrust with the thrust to weight ratio more than fifteen times that of the engines used to fly just supersonic concorde jet since the already won eighty first gave the hapless five a lift back in two thousand and two there's been two dozen successful launches for american military commercial and space equipment but not all the hardware on board the atlas five has been american in the summer of two thousand and nine an unprecedented move mapping mission was launched with the help of russian ingenuity in february two thousand and eleven the kremlin rolled out the red carpet to recognize the innovative work of young space research institute scientists maxime and until one sun in whose lunar exploration new trying to tech to lend for sure is playing a key role in nasa's lunar reconnaissance orbiter fact finding mission. based business who are the main eat fish or is the high spatial resolution seen over

previous missions measured hydrogen levels with a spatial resolution of one hundred fifty coleman says they had a spot on the moon one hundred fifty kilometers in diameter oh a device narrows that down to a ten kilometer spot you can send a man there to dig with a shovel and it will probably find something that. was a political something like that. such a discovery. would be no small matter since interest in the movie's resources has created a buzz beyond space science circles so what role does the new trying to take to play. the way our device works is quite simple from the point of view of physics where you introduce those neutrons emitted from the moon when you transit formed a bad two meters under the moon ground due to cosmic rays they lose their kinetic charge once they reach the surface rubbing against surface mass a. lot of hydrogen and that mass. will be slowed down more

efficiently device can register vets. we were selected following an open and fair competition assured of what the laboratory of los alamos but also took part in the contest but tell device turned out to be better we've suggested narrowing down the visible area by using a passive color meaning based on boron ten. in all the lunar reconnaissance orbiter or l r o consists of six instruments intended to produce the most detailed analysis of the lunar environment today this includes not just high resolution imaging of the moon's terrain but also tests for the potential biological impact of radiation from cosmic rays and ultraviolet mapping of the moon surface to detect possible deposits of water ice in cold traps

and topographical studies that help survey for future landing sites and hazards the impact of data is already being felt. the program was recalibrated based no devices indications the knew for sure that they changed the planned landing location and i'm confident that when the european space agency are discussing their programs countries that into. and to launch a mission to the moon countries like china and japan they will take our data into account any muscle you might after a virtual decades long dead spell the international space community is again turning its attention to our nearest neighbor with lunar exploration projects in the plans of space programs the world over but even before these are set to bear fruit we'll be getting data back from even further afield as main kind reaches towards the red planet and its satellites almost grew into some much hyped sample return mission to mars this mysterious moon this is

a russian led project that will also transported chinese made mars orbiter when it lifts off this november a sign from the longstanding attraction to the planet speech scientists interest thanks to theories it's actually an asteroid captured by mars as gravity a living laboratory of primordial space matter. the solar system. of course. is. being. used. as is. updated since its first plane launched in two thousand and nine group is bigger and better in addition to the transport and return vessels as well as soil sampling equipment the complex now carries the chinese martian orbiter as well as an additional expendable fuel tank to propel the extra weight.

meticulous testing is underway at the mosque l. space research institute to assure the functionality of each focus group component . dormitory trajectory of mars and its moons reaches its closest point to earth just once every twenty six months. any other time is both more complicated and more costly after missing the first launch window. oh do delays scientists understand time is of the essence. the unfamiliar environment of the martian moon surface means every single piece of the more than twenty scientific instruments that make up the probe has high standards to meet and exceed. unlike lunar programs here the task was undoubtedly called located by the need to collect samples under tricky conditions gravity is virtually absent and.

those aren't conditions easily recreated here on earth teams at the space research institute have gone to great links to prepare the high precision sampler that's at the heart of the focus mission a computerized full scale model of the robotic arm and sampling device was constructed for the purpose as these samples could hold the secret to his origin. is the key this sampling device achieves that just five watts of energy and under two hundred grams of mass in addition to testing the hardware simply the model has been helpful especially designed software. and soil samples are on the mission. not only to. the adjoining optical devices including cameras and microscopes even. from colleagues in geochemistry to be the closest possible simulation of the mars moon. there's every reason to be confident that apparatus will execute the mission's main objective. when focus groups arrives in orbit around mars ten month

journey the chinese orbiter will split off after orbiting the red planet. spacecraft will make its landing on the surface of. there will take its samples and send them back. in mid two thousand and fourteen unprecedented research a testament to the long term long range capability of state space programs. no matter how much i were. my designs there's little chance of them leaving my room let alone leaving the earth's atmosphere but increasingly independent initiative and private funds are becoming legitimate players in this space industry. and a host of a model rover made by a private russian company. snow might not be an analog for the moon's terrain but the models makers have lunar ambitions and perhaps just the right incentive. to do that this in september two thousand and seven the company google and the x.

prize foundation announced the most ambitious contest in history they wanted to send the first of a private lunar robot to the moon the google x. prize we started coming together as a team around the same time and when we found out about the competition we started forming an initiative group that was served as the core of the team. then we made it official with the competition's sole representative from russia. but the lunar x. prize entrants will not be alone in russian history as the. moon rover program offers a formidable foundation. but the moon surface is in sight. yet a unique one for the team still in the hold has an important ally this dramatization from the seventies features real life luna hold the pilot gets a slow. movement. forward to.

the trail decreasing beautiful it has made contact with the moon. three devaluating surroundings. meters to the right a lucky man over thirty centimeters high in the. solution. two metres back so you can turn sixty degrees to the right three the rover is moving. today don't get his team would still in accord to bring sylvia expertise to bear on a twenty first century project. she's. she. everything is new. no computer no it's all computerized. over was essentially. seven hundred fifty six kilogram. five to six. look at the size of.

forty centimeters this was for me. it was much larger significantly. the subject of serious scientific debate. in the one nine hundred sixty s. . perhaps the most important question was how exactly. many of the questions. campaign. overlap between form and function. they've narrowed the field to the true.

option. but its advantages are becoming clear. as a result. you need to make. to make design functional. instance we're working with expanded shapes which can save us up to fifty percent of mass by redistributing pressure in. just a plastic toy. it is actually quite a complicated machine which has to stream conditions. and if we manage

to make it. we will be happy. never of the expense of the engineering. team. with funds to raise and a second prototype to fabricate a company with a total of twenty nine teams from seventeen countries in the race to put their rover on the moon surface and unique is google's twenty five million maybe the lunar x. prize is just one example of the expanding arena of private space entrepreneurship . and eileen country of eighty thousand people in the middle of the irish sea may not seem a likely player in the space exploration game usually dominated by world superpowers but if you believe the hype the next giant leap for mankind might be coming from

the isle of man it's a place best known for its beautiful landscapes tasty cheeses clean scallops and business friendly tax code generally means a focus on offshore banking but the arrival of two soviet made space stations owned by the company excalibur almaz in early two thousand and eleven showcased the island's expanding emphasis on space commerce. to be in the business of launching rockets. satellites. high high end high technology. manufacturing. helped facilitate the private sector. into the space industry through having a. joint russian cosmonaut and project consultant. on a visit to the island home of the former soviet station. spacecraft for a return to orbit they're banking on the tried and tested expertise already

invested in their design and construction to stay a step ahead of space tourism competitors. because it's history's first multiple spacecraft of its. so this is it. for use on a single flight mission for ensuring up to thirty. nine hundred sixty military launched a program to provide a million surveillance station in lower. consisting of a service module and the reusable reentry vehicle were to be launched on the heavy lifting proton rocket this station's flew under two three and five in the seventies and work with advanced observation and communication equipment even modified artillery to protect against enemy satellites the original project was divided in

cosmic we should see more spacious weightless visitors floating between floor and ceiling. cooperates with the u.s. and european space. flight by twenty thirty. with the service module by twenty four. combining the experience of seasoned russian space men and savvy american businessmen excalibur almaz is getting down to work on making the dream a reality after raising money and international interest on the isle of man they expect russia to be the logical launch partner by their calculations six capsule launches a year would be the magic number for making. station economically viable sooner than you might think with would be already in line so more than a half century and a manned space flight are still finding. the vast expanse of our solar system now

more than ever there's a chance to be taken. and when you're finally comes enjoy the ride.
