The Russian Space Forces () is a branch of the Russian military responsible for military space operations. Established on August 10, 1992, following the breakup of the Soviet Union and the creation of the Russian Armed Forces,〔 the organisation shared control of the Baikonur Cosmodrome with the Russian Federal Space Agency. It also operated the Plesetsk and the Svobodny Cosmodromes. On December 1, 2011, it was replaced by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces.〔 but reestablished on August 1, 2015 as part of the Russian Aerospace Forces. ==History== In 1967 the Troops of Anti-Missile and Anti-Space Defence was formed () under General-Lieutenant of the Artillery Yu. Votintsev.〔 They were reorganised as the Ministry of Defence Space Units in 1982. In 1991 the Soviet Union was broken up. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were established on May 7, 1992, enabling the creation of Russian Space Forces later that year on August 10. In July 1997 the Space Force was dissolved as a separate service arm and incorporated to the Strategic Rocket Forces along with the Space Missile Defence Forces (Russian: Ракетно-космическая оборона), which previously were part of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. In the view of some experts, this was a mistake that prevented the Russian military from developing space-based capabilities. Russian Public TV said of the merger:〔 The Russian Space Forces were officially reborn on June 1, 2001 as an independent section of the Russian military. They regained independence under one of the many military reorganisation plans of the mid-late 1990s. Colonel General Anatoly Perminov was appointed to lead the new Space Forces.〔 He was succeeded by General Vladimir Popovkin in 2004 and General Oleg Ostapenko in 2008 until dissolution in 2011.〔 On August 1, 2015, the Space Forces were reestablished as part of the Russian Aerospace Forces which unite under one roof the Space Forces and the Russian Air Force. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russian Space Forces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
