Roscosmos decided to create a Russian orbital service station

20

On July 31, the State Corporation Roscosmos hosted a meeting of the Scientific and Technical Council, dedicated to the further work of the Russian segment of the International Space Station. During the event, reports from industry organizations and individual specialists were heard, and it became known that the termination of operation of the ISS is planned for 2028.

The Council of Chief Designers, having considered the current state of the ISS RS, noted that due to the aging of a significant part of the station equipment, the further operation of the ISS Russian segment after 2024 creates additional risks.

- said in a communique posted on the Roscosmos website.



The specialists decided that it was necessary to create a new manned complex in low earth orbit - the Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS). This must be done in order to continue the development due to the incessant exploration of the near-Earth space infrastructure.

ROSS should become a "springboard" for the exploration and study of the Moon and Mars, as well as contribute to the implementation of other programs of the Russian Federation in space. It will be created using the latest scientific and technical achievements, solutions and developments.

At the same time, NTS instructed RSC Energia, PJSC, to develop a scenario “agreed with partners” for the completion of the ISS operation. In addition, the enterprise needs to conduct an additional analysis of the ISS RS and take steps to maintain its operability and safety in the process of creating the ROSS.

NTS also recommended Roskosmos to start technical elaboration of the possible appearance of ROSS (as part of the ISS or as an independent national station), adding the development of a preliminary design to the Federal Space Program 2016-2025.

Note that recently Russia sent to the ISS with the help of the Proton-M launch vehicle, the heavy multipurpose laboratory module Nauka, which replaced the Pirs module located there.

As a reminder, in June, China successfully dispatched three of its taikonauts (cosmonauts / astronauts) to the Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) National Orbital Space Station.

    Not as part of the ISS, but as our independent national station!
    The main thing is, away from amers who like to drill holes in the casing!

      Russia is the only country in the world with extensive experience in the construction of long-term orbital stations, so everything will work out. It remains to find funding, we have already been forced to pay honest VAT, now it remains to break the American RusAl, which is still exporting millions of tons of aluminum at bargain prices.

        I agree with you, with one addition - IN THE PAST !!! And we know how to break, to build is WEAK, but to break it FUCKLY turns out!

        RUSAL owns 3 of the 4 largest hydroelectric power plants in Russia. "It so happened" in the 90s. How an "effective private owner" is able to develop production can be seen from the results of RUSAL's activities at Aviakor

        Can the taxes on the export of aluminum be raised?

    Resignation of Sergei Krikalev from Roscosmos. That now this post will be occupied by a thirty-five-year-old graduate of the Physics Department of Moscow State University, Aleksanr Bloshenko, who has been working in the Republic of Kazakhstan since 2018 and previously has nothing to do with outer space

    The Chinese are certainly worthy of respect. And the station has its own. And the sports coaches of their national team are also only Chinese.

      the ship "Shenzhou" both externally and internally resembles the Soviet "Soyuz", and one of the world-famous Russian scientists was sentenced to 11 years in prison on charges of transferring space technologies to China.

      spacesuit "Feitian", created in the likeness of the Russian "Orlan-M"

      China launched its first space station, Tiangong-1, into orbit in 2011. Outwardly, the station resembles the early devices of the Salyut series.

      In the design of the 22-ton "Tianhe", there are noticeable similarities with the base module "Mira" and "Zvezda" of the ISS, which originated from the "Salutes".

        So, what did you expect that China would build its equipment in the likeness of "Matchak" from plywood and self-tapping screws, and seals based on BublGum?

          No. It's just that all their achievements are from folders in which Academician Reshetin obligingly passed on to the PRC residency for 7 years.

            Igor Reshetin headed the TsNII MASH-export company, which, in particular, investigated the behavior of space capsules in a wind tunnel. The company contracted the results of these studies to China, having previously received permission from the Russian Export Commission, which checks the presence of dual-use technologies in the product - military and civil. After the contracts ended in 2003, the FSB opened a criminal case, claiming that the reports of Reshetin's company did contain these dual technologies.
            So the Russian special services themselves allowed it! Do you have anything to share with China today?

            Well, you know, use it wisely, you also need to be able to. An example Ukraine here could not, the tyam was not enough. And yet, someone somewhere invented the wheel and everyone still uses this invention, for example. And besides the drawings, you need to have technology and equipment.

    and so that there is not a single one there - no one will spoil other people's property. Let them drill holes in their stations
