Remember my warnings..

MR ZAK ,shows all the classic signals to be a disinformation Snowden like , agent of the
CIA , but focused in Space news..  When Russia ever land on Moon or mars.. that moron
popularity will be the center of promoting doubts of the success of Any important Russian
space program..  

he already used his disinformation propagand ,when Russia cooperated with Europe..
for mars mission.. he claimed Russian rocket "exploded"..and failed.. and obviously he had no way to know that from any source if Russia and Europe don't report about it.. neither NASA.
Europe actually told that all was going according to the plan ,when the rocket modules were flying towards mars..

So is likely he is a Tin Tank , disinformation agent on the important things..
and his main role will be to discredit any important success of Russia space program
to try to minimize as much as possible the success of Russia in space.. and don't be
surprised if he one day claim ,Russia faked a moon landing or Mars landing..  
Popular people in media usually are recruited to damage the image of the adversaries of the West..

This doesn't mean that 100% of what ZAK says is a lie..  Disinformation agents.. the best ones ,are those ,that most of the things they say are true.. but lie in the big things.
So he will get exclusive photos ,faster than anyone with help of their NASA and ESA contacts ..but be careful with his stabbing , he will create major disinformation propaganda on the important things.. like deep space exploration missions or create negativity around Russian satellites purposes. His goal seems to be ,to try to deny any Victory for Russia in
any space exploration race.. and help his American friends..  Is not surprise he live in America..  and talks about Russia as a repressive communist state.

KOROLEV /Moscow Region/, August 24. /TASS/. The Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft with the android robot Fedor aboard, has not docked with the International Space Station yet. The docking was scheduled for 8:30 Moscow time, according to the broadcast on the website of Russia’s State Space Corporation Roscosmos.

The ship was already at a distance of 96 meters from the ISS, when it began to move away from it. Now the distance to the ISS is about 280 meters, a TASS correspondent reported from the Mission Control Center.

The Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket blasted off from the Gagarin Start launch pad of the Baikonur spaceport in Kazakhstan at 06:38 Moscow time on Thursday, delivering the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft with the android robot Fedor into the near-Earth orbit. The spacecraft with the robot on its board was set to dock with the International Space Station at 08:31 Moscow time on August 24 after a two-day flight.

From 2002, Russia used Soyuz-FG carrier rockets to deliver international crews to the orbital outpost. From 2020, Russia is set to switch to Soyuz-2.1a rockets, which previously delivered only freight spaceships and satellites into orbit. The launch on August 22 is a test blastoff before a manned mission to the International Space Station.

The robot Fedor (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research or FEDOR) has been developed by Android Technology Company and the Advanced Research Fund on a technical assignment from Russia’s Emergencies Ministry.

The android robot has received its own name of Skybot F-850 where the letter F stands for its affiliation with the Fedor family of robots.

As Roscosmos Chief Rogozin said, the Skybot F-850’s basic goals include transmitting telemetry data, determining parameters related to the flight safety, including overloads, and carrying out experiments to test the robot’s operations useful on the external side of the space station.

The robot will stay about 17 days in orbit. In general, the robot Fedor will act as an artificial cosmonaut, the Roscosmos chief said.

Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft redocks to another ISS module

The redocking process was conducted manually by Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov with the assistance of NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan and European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano

KOROLEV /Moscow region/, August 26. /TASS/. The crew of the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft has redocked it from the International Space Station’s Zvezda service module to the Poisk module, where a Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft carrying a humanoid robot failed to dock on Saturday, a TASS correspondent reported from the Russian Flight Control Center.

The redocking process, which took 25 minutes, was conducted manually by Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov with the assistance of NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan and European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano.

After the redocking, experts will test the equipment that is believed to have led to the docking failure.

The docking of the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft to the International Space Station was aborted on Saturday morning due to potential problems with a signal amplifier on the station's Kurs rendezvous system. The second docking attempt is scheduled for the morning of August 27.
