Excalibur Almaz details plans for capsule and space station
"Excalibur Almaz has detailed its plans to launch spacecraft to space stations in
orbit around the moon, the first time the secretive company has done so publically. The British company will use legacy Russian hardware, capsules from the Soviet Soyuz space programme and space stations from Salyut, to launch people into orbit around the moon. Both capsules and stations will undergo upgrades, but the basic hardware has flown in space up to nine times, and is described by Excalibur CEO Art Dula as have a technical readiness level of nine, the highest possible. The capsules will initially be launched by Russian Soyuz FG launch vehicles from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Once in low Earth orbit (LEO), the capsules will dock with a Salyut station, which will use electric Hall thrusters to propel itself into orbit around the moon."

30 year old unused Military Soyuz craft (4) and refit Salyut space stations (2)? To head to the moon? With tests suggesting they could reuse the Soyuz craft maybe 15 times each without a refit of their thermal protection?
Would someone with a little more rocket science experiance like to throw in on this one, because I don't know what to make of it.

I think they mean to say 30 year old TECHNOLOGY, which is the same technology used by the chinese, which isn't a bad thing if people remember the space shuttle was also a 30 year old technology (they used the Intel 8086 procesor).

Meet ‘Flame’, The Massive Spy Malware Infiltrating Iranian Computers
"A massive, highly sophisticated piece of malware has been newly found infecting
systems in Iran and elsewhere and is believed to be part of a well-coordinated, ongoing, state-run cyberespionage operation. The malware, discovered by Russia-based anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab, is an espionage toolkit that has been infecting targeted systems in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, the Israeli Occupied Territories and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa for at least two years."

The image might be the Descent module for the Soyuz 7K-ST. (the military version that eventually became the Soyuz T for use with their Salyut stations.) It certainly isn't the Orbital Module, since Soviet versions of that were usually spheres instead of cones.
Otherwise it looks a whole lot like the new Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX.

SpaceX Dragon Capsule Splashes Down in Pacific, Ending Historic Test Flight
"The world's first commercial space cargo ship dove through Earth's atmosphere
and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean early Thursday (May 31), ending an historic test flight to the International Space Station. The SpaceX Dragon capsule made a water landing off the coast of Baja California, Mexico at 11:42 a.m. EDT (1542 GMT). Recovery ships have spotted the capsule and are en route to collect the vehicle to tow to Los Angeles." See: http://www.space.com/15939-spacex-dr...g-pacific.html |
