Scientists from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) plan to participate in missions to the Moon and deep space. This was announced by the rector of the university, Viktor Sadovnichy.
Sadovnichy recalled that MSU has its own space program. On December 28, the university's cubesat (small satellite) "Scorpion" was sent into orbit from the Vostochny cosmodrome.
Each launch is another step towards students, graduate students and young engineers gaining unique experience on real spacecraft.
According to him, the university will continue to invest in the development of the program and expand international cooperation. It is important not just to fly into space, but that the whole of Russia, together with MSU, develops space technologies, Sadovnichy concluded.
