According to RIA Novosti, the launch of #SoyuzMS22 with Sergei Prokopiev, Anna Kikina and Dmitry Petelin is scheduled for Sept 21, 2022. If the Proton-M with #ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover launches in time (Sept 20), it will be busy days on Baikonur! https://ria.ru/20210929/mks-1752246290.html

Rogozin wrote in Telegram that Khrunichev Center prepared the #ProtonM rocket to launch #ExoMars rover to Mars this year, and they are waiting for the final decision of @ESA on the fate of this mission: https://t.me/rogozin_do/1996. IMHO there is a very small chance for a positive outcome for ExoMars.

ESA officially suspended #ExoMars rover mission "acknowledged the present impossibility of carrying out the ongoing cooperation with Roscosmos". https://www.esa.int/Newsroom/Press_Releases/ExoMars_suspended

Dmitry Rogozin in Telegram regarding the #ExoMars mission: in few years, Roscosmos will "duplicate" the Kazachok lander and will launch it on the Angara rocket to Mars "independently". He also posted the scan of the ESA official letter. https://t.me/rogozin_do/2034

The #ProtonM launch vehicle and #BrizM upper stage originally intended to launch #ExoMars rover to Mars will be delivered to Baikonur as planned, informed Roscosmos. They will be used to launch another payload. https://t.me/roscosmos_gk/3183

According to RIA Novosti, @ESA resumed the discussion with @Roscosmos regarding the #ExoMars mission. “New information may appear after the ESA Council meeting at Wednesday, June 15”, said the representative of the press service to RIA. https://ria.ru/20220613/eka-1795051771.html

Roscosmos shared a note about the current status of the #ExoMars mission. According to them, Roscosmos and ESA continue to discuss the options for the mission, one of which may be to return to Russia the Russian equipment located on the territory of the EUand to return to ESA the European equipment located on the territory of the RF. A regular meeting of the Council of ESA member States is planned in July, following which the European side will decide on the future of the project. The final decision on the Russian side on the fate of the ExoMars project, including with possible international participation, will be made by Roscosmos after receiving official information from ESA.

On July 15 Roscosmos expects an answer from ESA regarding the possible launch of the joint #ExoMars mission in 2024, but the answer will highly likely be negative. In this case, Roscosmos plans to launch a national mission to Mars in 2026, said Rogozin. Well, promises, promises… https://ria.ru/20220629/exomars-1798892498.html

In response to the suspension of the cooperation on #ExoMars, Rogozin announced the suspension of the cooperation on #ERA manipulator on the #ISS. The problem is that Roscosmos will suffer from his decision more than ESA. How on Earth they will transfer radiator and airlock from Rassvet to Nauka without ERA?

The specialists of NPO Lavochkin went to Turin to perform the preparation for the return of the #Kazachok landing platform and the Russian equipment from the #RosalindFranklin rover to Russia. The agreement to return the #ExoMars Russian equipment was made in February 2023.
