the. brazenness if you move it soon from constant pressure. starts on t.v. don't come. here without you live from moscow to recap now about top stories casualties a rise in libya with a turkish humanitarian ship taking hundreds of injured from the fighting in the west to the rebels' stronghold meantime kind of the day after using desperately searching for a way out of the crisis while it's early joins the list of countries to recognize libya's rebels as the legitimate government of. the russian pilot who brought to the u.s. to face trial on drug trafficking charges claims that he was kidnapped by washington

some say there's no way a wiring tendency in america snatching people in order to try them on its own soil . and three spacemen are set to fly up to the international space station from the piper north cosmodrome in kazakhstan the launch it takes place almost exactly fifty years after your government became the first american to go beyond earth's atmosphere. because he spoke with the head of the russian space agency about the country's space program and the importance of the soyuz spacecraft and the totally off side that the with the u.s. shuttle program ending this year russian ships are now more than ready to fill the void that's coming up next.

disappeared but no thank you very much for being with us today space tourists used to be one of the sources of income for the russian space agency are you trying to raise you or maybe even expand this program. of course we would like to resume this program fortunately we are unable to do it now and we won't be until space shuttles resume delivering space crews to the i assess which won't happen before twenty fifteen or even twenty seventeen according to nasa experts the only other possibility is if we build a new spacecraft within the next two years then we'll be able to take space tourists to the i s s. four of course everybody wants to know how much that's going to cost and if you already have some people who want to go with. your work we have many people who want to go many obligations from various countries both official requests and applications from common people well i guess you can't really call somebody a common person if they can pay more than fifty million dollars for

a flight because that's approximately the amount that space tourist will have to pay the price has gone up a little juice a currency rate all to asians and to the rising cost of materials. using one day space tourism may become available to all people. definitely when we first started sending tourists to have their space we straight away notice that they felt quite well during short flights all you need is to be a normal healthy person some of the tourists were over sixty and they felt quite well so i think that space tourism will continue a developer and the only concern i have is that nobody should ignore safety measures safety regulations for space tourists should be. as for regular nasa at all schools most space programs. that's not a bit about the march five hundred protractor how important is it for a preparing long term space experience. of course it's important that's the second

time we're conducting such an experiment there was a similar project in the soviet union the current project is international yes if i could leading space agencies like the european space agency i'm china take part in it indicates how important this project is ask for specific results will have to wait for the project to be completed this nature of the experiment is mostly psychological we want to see if a big group can stay together for a long period of time and still perform their duties. or. not do you have any major international programs besides the s.s. today. you need in russia yes yes of course we have cooperation agreements with forty countries of course with some of them we don't have any serious joint projects even though we have an agreement but in some cases we have very big projects we actively work with china and many programs we also work with the indian moon exploration carrier rocket programs and some other

issues like the balloon as navigation system as you may know we also work with japan a lot in europe france and germany our biggest partners also we have a few joint projects with italy of course in terms of finance all these programs are inferior to the ins projects and their significance for science for the future is great some of these are really important also we've recently started working with the newly established u.k. space agency and we are developing our cooperation with canada. within the c.i.s. i should mention kazakhstan ukraine because we have joint projects with ukraine in virtually every area of the bedrooms. you have talked about creating a system of systems what does that mean does it mean that we should establish cooperation with. what i meant was a security system a warning system it's called the international global aerospace monitoring system it's official now twenty three countries have joined this project we see different

countries engaged in space exploration have different data depending on what kind of satellites they use for remote sensing and meteorological research we suggest the countries should send their data to data processing centers which could be located in various consonants north america south america africa asia europe these data processing centers will produce recommendations for world leaders based on the data they receive there are also countries that are small and poor they don't have their own spacecraft satellites and so on at the same time these are the countries that are often eat by floods and earthquakes indonesia in fact other nations can also benefit on those reports. computer centers will process all the data distributed to all the countries in the form of risk warnings saying for example that an earthquake hazard will be high in several places around the globe in the next two weeks so mankind will be ready for an earthquake near zero another warning

may concern some distant galaxy because there is a possibility that the stars concentrated in it will produce an impact on the earth without an asteroid is going to approach the earth in four years' time it will pass in two hundred kilometers from the earth well that would be a really serious threat that's the kind of data that governments need rather than just telemetry from the spacecraft which is of no use to them they wouldn't even know how to decode it so we suggested creating this global monitoring system twenty three countries have already joined the project which i've been appointed head of was it your right to set up such a system. the idea came from russian researchers at the moment china is nasa seriously considering joining this project i don't like to use the word saving mankind but we do need such a system to warn us about potential threats actually this isn't won't get out expensive all that members have to do is to share the data they obtain from their national space is the best perhaps there will be a small membership please help me. but every time i talk to somebody and explain

why we need such a system everybody supports the idea. that we actually start working. we don't have a timeframe yet because first we need to complete all formalities and obtain permission from governments to start building those data processing centers in all the continents. construction of. recently the russian government had a special meeting gerrard by prime minister vladimir putin which decided that in a month's time the ministry of economic development should submit a programme for the construction of infrastructure was launched. and that the russian space agency should set up its office at the cosmodrome everything should be ready in a month so we monitor the situation and work together with the ministry of economic development on these issues the construction of infrastructure will start in june. and what will happen to baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan after russia it's.

nothing special like you nor will continue functioning because it will be impossible to abandon it immediately after we launched our first spacecraft from. that's not the way things are done in the space industry we won't stop the operation of soyuz spacecraft we are going to use another carrier rocket it was bulging with haul flight tests will be held there we will have no continuing launching spacecraft from baikonur so you spacecraft will also carry various satellites including commercial ones like global star etc we're going to use baikonur together with kazakhstan ukraine and other countries it's just like in the case of this anything. down wants to enter this joint stock company and operate as anything launchpad together with united states ukraine russia and kazakhstan and so then it will stay there forever but the proton launch pad will be used until i'm car of causes all flight test in the north which means at least ten launches and by

tareq causes flight test in the south that will take almost ten years and that's all three complexes will function for at least another ten years before they will be financed mainly by private investors rather than from the state budget i'll figure out what about the crew space center is it a good example of space cooperation. yes of course but only as far as carrier rockets are concerned and when will the first cities take off from. european countries a recently announced it won't happen before august or even september first and they're going to launch to galileo spacecraft for their navigation system and they will be manufactured before august or september but construction works the crew have been finished. today russia is an indisputable leader in space launches but also other countries are catching up on what should russia do to keep its positions on the market. you know we constantly come under

criticism our critics say we only work as a space taxi i beg to differ i agree with you that we should do our best to keep our superior in this area too if we don't seek leadership anywhere we're not going to be the leaders anywhere but his leadership in a number of space launches me the most important thing is that we should have no accidents this means tough competition and carrier rockets and liquid and solid fuel angels and then there is competition in control systems also not a single space launch can take place today without a booster i don't like to compare russia with other countries but i can say that china will be catching up with us in the next few years strange as it may seem it's going to be china not the us and we should be ready for this. work. on one hand the united states need us to put their satellites into orbit but how much do we depend on here as manufactured parts for our carrier rockets let's say we have

a little conference for the united states where we'll be able to build carrier rockets on our own. we are absolutely independent russian carrier rockets use only russian made components never and under no circumstances can we have such a situation especially with military rockets where one hundred percent of parts a russian made spacecraft is different since the sixty's. seventy or eighty percent of materials used for their construction are foreign made i wish it weren't so but today it's simply impossible to produce everything yourself besides russians electronic industry literally ceased to exist in the one nine hundred ninety s. it will take a long time to restore it so as far as spacecraft are concerned we should seriously consider this issue before we decided that we in the space industry should produce materials and parts ourselves because we don't expect our electronics industry to recover anytime soon going to come from erika has suspended its space shuttle program and will you say you spaceships and start giving so you stations alone can

ensure the normal operation of the assets. yes i think some russian has been sending crews to the i s s on so you space ships for the past two years and shuttles fly to the i s s to deliver foreign astronauts aboard take them back to work like replacing italians with canadians or canadians with germans or would we definitely can handle the job if we have to launch four man spaceships and five cargo craft plans so. it's a pain and if thank you very much for this interview. twenty years ago in the largest country in the. us how did you can. be challenger. where did it take you.
