Today is the Cosmonautics Day. I wish more people today remember great words of Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space: "Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!"

The #BionM No. 2 launch will take place between of July and September 2025, said Sergei Chernishyov, the vice president of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Currently, the spacecraft undergoes various numerous tests.

Today is the landing day! #SoyuzMS26 with Aleksey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner and NASA astronaut Donald Pettit is ready to return home. The hatches between the ship and the ISS are closed now. The undocking is scheduled for 21:58 UTC, the landing should happen at 01:21 UTC.

A planned #ISS orbit correction was performed today at 00:08 UTC. The engines of #ProgressMS30 fired for 639.7 seconds with an impulse of 1.22 m/s. The station’s average orbit altitude was increased by 2.1 km and became 419 km above the Earth.

The launch of the #SpektrUV space observatory is now scheduled for 2031. The previous launch date was 2029. Originally it was 1997.

There will be two flight models of #Luna27, confirmed the new head of Roscosmos Dmitry Bakanov in his interview. In the best Soviet traditions, Luna-27 will be build with a backup spacecraft. If the first one succeeds, the second one will be launched to a different location.

As many people in space community, I'm waiting for the #kosmos482 reentry tomorrow morning. My friend Vitaly Egorov Zelenyikot will host a live stream on Youtube (in Russian). Join us at 03:00 UTC: youtube.com/watch?v=U_HzI4…

Pavel Shubin, famous space exploration historian and expert in Soviet space industry, believes that there's a small chance that #kosmos482 may have positive buoyancy and theoretically can be found floating on the surface by one of the nearby ships. t.me/pole_of_the_mo…

Do you have a special idiom in your language for a haircut with artistic disorder? My grandma called it "let's go to the cave to scare the mammoths". There are also "an explosion at the pasta factory" and "I fell off a dump truck, braking with my head". Do you know any?

The launch of #BionM No2 satellite is currently scheduled for July 20 at 15:13 UTC by Soyuz 2.1a rocket from Baikonur Pad 31.
