TV Roskosmos (Russian: Телестудия Роскосмоса - TeleStudio of Roskosmos) or TV Roscosmos is the television station of the Russian Federal Space Agency[1], Roscosmos. Both the channel and the studio are managed by Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky (Russian: Александр Николаевич Островский). Unlike its United States counterpart, NASA TV, it does not operate 24 hours a day, broadcasting live occasionally on YouTube. During coverage related to the International Space Station, NASA TV will sometimes carry Roskosmos TV segments with English voiceover translation.
Also affiliated with Roscosmos, Roscosmos TV-Studio produces and promotes documentaries that highlight the most significant historic events in Russia's national space industry and aboard. The studio's films, programmes, and reports focus on cutting-edge space technology and the people involved in space programmes, including scientists, designers, and cosmonauts. Videos on the history of Soviet and Russian cosmonautics also cover topics in astronomy and planetology.
