The story with the first Russian android “Fedor” was continued. Recall that last year Roscosmos was considering the possibility of sending an unmanned Soyuz MS to the ISS with two robots on board. The flight should take place this summer. The program is called "cyber crew."





Theoretically, the FEDOR robot would be ideal for the passenger role for the aforementioned mission. In addition, representatives of the NGO Android technique"Have already managed to demonstrate their brainchild to Dmitry Rogozin, placing the" mechanical man "in the command chair of the Soyuz spacecraft. The developers could only get the approval of Roskosmos for the participation of Fedor in flight.

And so, on the eve it became known that in the near future active preparations for the first Russian android to be sent to the ISS will begin. We are talking about an unmanned mission using the Soyuz MS. The presence of the robot on the "Federation" will be discussed separately.

It is worth noting that the multifunctional humanoid FEDOR (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research) is a completely Russian development. Due to one of his skills (the ability to shoot), the robot fell into disfavor with foreign companies that refused to provide their components. Therefore, the body of the "Fed" consists exclusively of domestic spare parts.
