Ongoing projects

• Energia builds Russia's Soyuz TMA spacecraft for 3-person human spaceflight missions and Progress M robotic spacecraft for cargo missions.

• Russian segment of ISS: providing its own cosmonauts for ISS expeditions; responsibility for all Russian scientific experiments.

• Sea Launch project participation - production of block DM-SL as the upper stage for Ukrainian launch vehicle Zenit-3SL.

• Universal Spacecraft Configuration - usage for development of: communications satellites, remote sensing satellites, navigation satellites and unmanned orbital servicing satellites. USC was a basis for "Yamal-100" and "Yamal-200" satellites.

Future projects

• Further assembly of ISS Russian segment: development of Multipurpose Laboratory Module (together with Krunichev Space Centre) and "Oka" space production modules (not permanently attached to ISS).

• Development of new spacecrafts with 3 stages:
  1. Modernization of "Soyuz TMA" spacecraft for manned circum-lunar missions - if will be a commercial orders for space tourism.
  2. Development of "Parom" space tug (in order to replace "Progress M" cargo spacecraft).
  3. Development of multi-aimed Prospective Piloted Transport System (PPTS, Rus') (instead of abandoned Kliper project) for 6 persons.

• Development of manned lunar program: landing by 2025, creating of permanent lunar base by 2030 in order to extract helium-3.

• Development of manned Mars mission: landing beyond 2035.

• Development of "Yamal-300" and "Yamal-400" communication satellites for Gazprom corporation.

• Development of "Smotr" remote sensing satellites.
