"There is a task - to learn how to land an apparatus on an asteroid, and not a simple spacecraft, but to land a spacecraft," RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to him, such work has already begun.
“This task is clear to our engineers, and enterprises are initiating such work. We know how to implement it, ”Rogozin stressed.
He added that the technology could be created by 2030.
In February 2019, the Japanese space probe Hayabusa-2 landed on the asteroid Ryugu, which was approximately 340 million km from Earth.
