In Russia, they talked about Dragon's advantages over Progress MS.
Despite certain problems, the American Dragon cargo transport spacecraft has a number of advantages that the Russian Progress MS ship does not have.
Портал "Star" conducted a comparison of Russian and American spacecraft.
The undoubted advantages of the domestic "Progress MS", the publication includes the delivery of liquid cargo, docking system, cost of launch and statistics of successful starts.
However, according to the publication, the American Dragon is more promising due to its following characteristics: reusable use, the ability to work in near-Earth orbit four times longer, it can be used as a full-fledged segment of the orbital station.
Also, the Mask spaceship has a greater carrying capacity and can deliver cargo both ways: from Earth to the International Space Station (ISS), and in the reverse order - from the ISS to Earth.
The publication believes that the engineers and management of Roscosmos are responsible for the position of the Russian truck in the space transportation market, and if nothing changes in the near future, “progress will eat up Progress.”
If the statement of Dmitry Rogozin that the Russian manned space program has long paid off due to cooperation with the United States, made by him in May, it becomes obvious that the sad forecast of Zvezda was not made from scratch.
