Russia and ROSCOSMOS
Going to the number two spot and very intense space agency on the map of space explorations, we present Russia and Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency that has a very ambitious plan for the next 5 years.
With a 5,6 billion dollar budget announced in 2013 and another 50 billion dollars ready to be merged into the space program until 2020, Roscosmos is a pioneer in the space industry with a plan to build an operational base on the moon with the purpose to launch future Mars missions from there.
Through the hands of this space agency many projects came alive and many more will come as they plan to beat the only nation capable enough to have a higher budget.
Science, rockets, space mission with plants and lizards, the contribution to the International Space Station are some of the activities that the Roscosmos is a part of.
