“Analog could be, roughly, in 2025 we are talking about a combination of rockets “Soyuz-5” — said the expert.
However, he did not rule out technical feasibility for this kind of Russian rocket technology of the returned steps.
Missiles that derive payload, often work with underload. The amount of fuel that remains can theoretically be used to return first steps. In the theory of the “Soyuz-5” you can try to implement this idea, all depends on the frequency of launches. Falcon flies often, there is economically justified.Ivan Moiseev
According to him, launched by the company Space X into space Tesla Roadster poses no threat to the orbiting satellite constellation.
“The launch of this car is not serious, he poses no threat to the orbiting satellite constellation, as has long left the earth’s orbit and reached the asteroid belt. There are a lot of such objects and the first will be on average once every three years, undergo in relation to the Earth at the same distance that separates the Earth from the Sun,” — said the expert.
