RuSpace 🇷🇺🚀 – Suzy’s Russian space site
“RuSpace” (Russian Spaceflight, космический полёт России) is a personal site about one of my interests, the Russian manned spaceflight program, with emphasis on the contemporary space program. The site covers the elements of interest to me, so it is not intended as a comprehensive guide (links to other sites are provided for more information).
From late 2020, I did not have the energy to maintain and update the many pages this site had, so I much reduced these to what is below. (Archive.org has captured a few earlier pages.) Content is now mainly tables of the Cosmonaut Group and launches on Russian spaceships (the Soyuz) to the International Space Station as this is the Russian program’s current focus. But I may re-add more pages if I get around to revising them.
RuSpace has been online since 21 September 2003!
Note: As of September 2024, this site is no longer updated and is archived.

The Russian intervention in Ukraine from March 2022, and subsequent harsh Russophobic sanctions from Western nations, meant that many Russian spaceflight sites, such as those of Roskosmos and Energiya, have become inaccessible via normal channels due to the unfortunate policy of increasing isolationism by the Russian government for their Internet presence, so links to these are broken. (I unapologetically “stand with Russia” on the issue, and am furious at the blatantly one-sided reporting on the intervention from the West – see my Journal from March 2022 onward.) The international spaceflight partnership is also fractured, possibly permanently; how this will evolve is yet unknown.
