which country is more advance in space technology, USA or Russia?

Answer 1

Undoubtedly, USA have a more modern space technology than Russia.

Whether or not this produces real advantages and, more importantly, cost effectiveness, is an open discussion.
Working in the space industry, I've been always surprised by the capability of the Russians to solve problems by always preferring simple and cheap components instead of fancy, complex, "advanced" technology.

In recent decades, Western countries have developed an alarming tendency of stuffing computers everywhere. You would be surprised to know how many microprocessors are in your car, for instance. The same tendency is present in space technology.

The point is: complexity breeds weakness of design and increases failure probability. If I can get the same functionality of a microprocessor with a pure electro-mechanical device, that would be preferable.
Well, Russian engineers have this amazing ability to see solutions in terms of pure electro-mechanical devices. This is something we forgot long ago.

In conclusion, what we may perceive as advancement is not always an advantage.

Answer 2

Well, to be perfectly honest with you the Russians had a shot at it for awhile. We no longer had Skylab or the heavy lift Saturn V rockets. They had the Mir space station and man rated Soyuz spacecraft and the heavy lift launch vehicle Energia along with the Buran, copied from the Space Shuttle.

But Mir was abandoned in 2001 and there have been no new flights of Energia and Buran has been abandoned. There is no question that the US is more advanced today in Space technology. So, Russia is second however it should be noted that Japan and the European space agency both claimed that they would have man-rated vehicles by now and neither one does yet. China and India are supposed to be working on these as well.

Currently, only the US is working on ion engines for space vehicles, scramjet engines, robotic space construction, and advanced spacesuits. Only the US has a Space Telescope and has collected dust from a comet. The former Soviet Union did send out a number of probes to the Moon and Venus. I believe that only the Soviet Venera probes actually landed on the surface of Venus.

Another reason the Russians had a shot at it was that although we had extraordinary missions in the two Voyager probes and the Viking Mars landers there had been quite a gap before we picked up again with a mission to view an asteroid up close plus the Galileo mission to Jupitor and new landers plus remotely controlled roving vehicles on Mars.

Answer 3

Russia

Answer 4

Russia

Answer 5

Technology ---- The USA is the winner. However Russian rockets and Soyuz space craft are well known for their reliability and robust guidance systems.
No doubt that the Space Shuttle has been a failure.... just look at the claims before it flew compared with what it has actually achieved.
Don't knock the Russians because they are Russian, the cold war is over after all.

Answer 6

India - most of the scientists who do research work are Asians and mainly Indians - Since recent - it is the US of A who has all the resources compared to Russia.

Answer 7

Easily it's the USA. How many men have the Russians sent to the moon? How many Russian spacecraft have probed the heart of a comet? How many Russian spacecraft have landed on an asteroid?

After Germany exchange into concurred the two the U.S. and u . s . a . of america divided up the German scientists and the race exchange into on ..

Answer 9

China and India

USA... HELLO!! We went to the moon first and we're headed to Mars next!!!
