2026 Cosmonautics Day and IKI Doors Open Day During Space Week in Russia and on the eve of Cosmonautics Day (aka International Day of Human Space Flight), IKI RAS held its traditional open day for schoolchildren, students, and everyone interested in space. This year it was held jointly with the Polytechnic Museum, which prepared an extensive program of events for children and adults — the family festival “It's a Technology Matter: Space”. A recording of the festival’s lecture program is available.
Design of Low-Energy Trajectories for Multi-Purpose Missions to Near-Earth Asteroids Using Orbital Manifolds The work cycle describes possible flight scenarios for scientific spacecraft that can be implemented using the resonant dynamics method and gravity assist maneuvers.
