The Russian Federal Space Agency ((ロシア語:Федеральное космическое агентство России) ''Federal'noye kosmicheskoye agentstvo Rossii''), commonly called Roscosmos (Роскосмос ''Russpace'') and abbreviated as FKA (ФКА) and RKA (РКА), is the government agency responsible for the Russian space science program and general aerospace research. It was previously the Russian Aviation and Space Agency ((ロシア語:Российское авиационно-космическое агентство) ''Rossiyskoe aviatsionno-kosmicheskoe agentstvo'', commonly known as "Rosaviakosmos"). The headquarters of Roscosmos are located in Moscow, while the Main Mission Control space flight operations center is located in the nearby city of Korolev. The Cosmonauts Training Centre (GCTC) is in Star City. The Launch facilities used are Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (with most launches taking place there, both manned and unmanned) and Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia which is used primarily for unmanned, military flights. The current General Director since 21 January 2015 is Igor Komarov. In 2015 the Russian government announced it was merging Roscosmos with the United Rocket and Space Corporation, the re-nationalised Russian space industry to create the Roscosmos State Corporation. ==History== The Soviet space program did not have central executive agencies. Instead, its organizational architecture was multi-centered; it was the design bureaus and the council of designers that had the most say, not the political leadership. The creation of a central agency after the separation of Russia from the Soviet Union was therefore a new development. Russian Space Agency was formed on February 25, 1992, by a decree of President Yeltsin. Yuri Koptev, who had previously worked with designing Mars landers at NPO Lavochkin, became the agency's first director.Later renamed to Roscosmos. In the early years, the agency suffered from lack of authority as the powerful design bureaus fought to protect their own spheres of operation and to survive. For example, the decision to keep Mir in operation beyond 1999 was not taken by the agency; instead, it was made by the private shareholder board of the Energia design bureau. Another example is that the decision to develop the new Angara rocket was rather a function of Khrunichev's ability to attract resources than a conscious long-term decision by the agency.〔 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 Federal Space Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
