On January 12, 1907, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was born - a Soviet scientist and designer in the field of rocket science and cosmonautics, chief designer of the first launch vehicles, artificial satellites, manned spacecraft, founder of practical cosmonautics, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1958, corresponding member 1953), member of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1960-1966), twice Hero of Socialist Labor (1956, 1961).

A giant Soviet telescope looks like a remnant of an older and more advanced civilization.

Its history matches this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope was developed to support communications with robotic missions to Venus and Mars and to prepare for possible manned expeditions to these planets.

The telescope is located near the city of Kalyazin, and still in operation today. Its scientific tasks include deep space communications and astrophysical research.

The Engineering Differences Between US and Soviet Spacesuits From the 1960s
Savage noted the engineering differences between the two. The Apollo suit was a bit complicated, requiring separate pieces of the suit to be put together before a backpack could be attached. The Krechet had a one-piece hardbody interior that could only be entered via backpack, a design that NASA is currently using in their Artemis space suits.

Life seems to have been found. But not where they were looking


...
It is unlikely that it will be possible to explore even the nearest exoplanets with the help of automatic spacecraft in the current century. It is quite possible, however, that the answer will be found very close, on our closest neighbor in the solar system - on Venus. The surface temperature of the planet (735 K, or 462°C) and the enormous pressure (87–90 atm) of its gas envelope with a density of 65 kg/m3, consisting mainly of carbon dioxide (96.5%), nitrogen (3.5%), and traces of oxygen (less than 2·10–5%), are close to the physical conditions on many exoplanets of a special class.

Recently, television images (panoramas) of the surface of Venus, obtained thirty years ago or more, have been re-examined and processed. They found several objects ranging in size from a decimeter to half a meter, which changed shape, position in the frame, appeared in some images and disappeared in others. And on a number of panoramas, precipitation was clearly observed, which fell and melted on the surface of the planet.
