By the end of 2030, Russia will invest 770 billion rubles ($14.5 billion) to strengthen its aviation sector in an effort to increase domestic aircraft production, according to a report from the Russian state news agency TASS on June 27, 2022.Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin stated during a meeting with his deputies that of the 770 billion rubles, 150 billion (US$2.8 billion) will be allocated to the nation’s air transport industry by the end of 2022.
To build the effective infrastructure that the sector needs, a lot of effort needs to be done, according to Mishustin. By 2030, “Russian airlines fleet should contain 81 percent domestically made aircraft. “The news comes just one week after Russian Minister of Trade and Industry Denis Manturov announced that Russia will produce more than 1000 local airliners by 2030.
The aviation firms demonstrated their ability to meet the needs of civil aviation by 2030 while replacing foreign-made components with Russian-made ones and updating the manufacturing process where appropriate, Manturov added.
As a result of sanctions put in place by the West in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian aviation industry has suffered. Russian planes are no longer permitted to travel to locations in Europe, the United States, Canada, and other countries. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and Bombardier have also stopped working with Russian airlines.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.
The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.
“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.
The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
