Its grandiose plans shared with journalists "Roskosmos". Representatives of this organization said that by 2022 they are going to launch the spacecraft in a relatively deep space, namely to Jupiter. More precisely, not back to Jupiter, and one of these called Galilean satellites, Ganymede. The head of Roscosmos told that the spacecraft will descend to the surface of Jupiter's moon, and the other space probe will set the beacon on the asteroid Apophis. This asteroid has a high probability of threat to Earth, but because the Federal space Agency wants to monitor its status.

Originally about such an ambitious project of the Federal space Agency said last summer on Max, but now Vladimir Popovkin decided to talk about the details of the project.

The head of the Russian space Agency reported that the flight is to begin in 2022 in the framework of the project "Laplace-P". Popovkin, telling about the purpose of the expedition spacecraft to Ganymede, says that the goal of finding life on this space object. In addition, Putin announced that the project was already has had time to listen specialists from Europe, but because "Laplace-P" can become an international space project of exploration of the Solar system.

When flying to the moon of Jupiter will have to solve many problems, including overcoming gravity, the largest planet of the Solar system, and its magnetic field, which can disable even the best electronics. However, Vladimir Popovka determined and says that by 2022 such problems will be solved, and the device will start to execute its mission.
The head of Roscosmos said about that in the period between 2020 and 2022 years it is planned another ambitious project to launch a spacecraft to asteroid Apophis, which, according to scientists can come ever closer to the Ground. Popovkin said that the research project, whose ultimate goal would be that the Apophis will happen establish beacons that can transmit information to Earth. The head of the Agency said that minerals from asteroid to Roscosmos not interesting, but because they are on the Earth will not be delivered.

Previously the specialists of Sciences reported: Apophis really planned to send a spacecraft that will monitor the orbit of the asteroid, and also to determine the likelihood of its collision with the planet Earth. This program is part of a large program of exploration of the Solar system, is planned for the entire period until 2025.

Today scientists have information that the asteroid Apophis, the linear dimensions of which is about 300 km, in 2029 may come to Earth just to 36 thousand kilometers. If to consider, that at such a distance from the planets move geostationary satellites, the distance looks really small. But in 2036 Apophis may collide with the Earth, if the trajectory of its movement will remain unchanged.
