In the next 20 years, humanity approach to understand the laws of the universe. This, speaking at the Congress of Young Scientists, which takes place from 8 to 10 December in the Park of Science and Arts of the Sirius Educational Center, said the executive director for promising programs and science of Roskosmos State Corporation Alexander Bloishenko.
In his opinion, in the next 20 years, humanity can solve the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the conditions for the occurrence of possible forms of life in the Universe and begin use the data obtained for the benefit of humanity.
Alexander Blooshenko stressed that today many studies of the structure of the universe, the search and study of supermassive black holes are carried out when using the “Spectr-RG” apparatus. More than two million new facilities in the Far Cosmos have already been discovered by the efforts of world scientists, and in future plans to explore the South Pole of the Moon and Satellites of Jupiter. In addition, by the 2040th year it is planned to hold a complete census exoplanet at a distance of 50 light years from the ground, to create their description and begin to determine their composition.
During the Space Development session, Congress participants discussed the importance of space research and presented advanced Russian projects in the Space Region. Alexander Bloishenko also told about the closest prospects in the development of space, studying coronavirus on the ISS.
Details on the study of Coronavirus reported co-founder and managing partner 3D Bioprinting Solutions Yusef Hesuani. He stated that in the near future it is planned to carry out special experiments on the crystallization of proteins of coronavirus particle elements to determine their structure with the subsequent selection of possible inhibitors. To do this, on board the ISS it is planned to send highly purified membrane proteins and “spikes” isolated from the virus itself to grow super-free crystals.
Participants also discussed the use of cosmic funds for the benefit of human development – for global multichannel surface monitoring and the Earth’s atmosphere, ensuring global space communications and navigation, as well as monitoring and preventing asteroid-cometa danger.
Doctor of Technical Sciences, Chief Designer of Opto-Electronic Devices ICA Roman Besonov spoke about the development of autonomous orientation technology and navigating spacecraft, critical for the implementation of promising lunar missions implemented by Russia in the coming years.
