The advantage of the Russian space station will be a new orbit

15

Work on the creation of the national orbital space station is ahead of schedule. The head of the state corporation "Roscosmos" Yuri Borisov told the President of Russia during a personal meeting on Cosmonautics Day.

At the moment, work on the creation of a draft design of the station is being completed, but its main parameters and stages of creation have been determined. The first block of the future Russian orbital station is also practically ready. It will be the scientific and energy module, which was created for the ISS, but will be used in the interests of the domestic program. Roscosmos has big plans for a new space station. In the future, it will become a base for the study of near space, as well as for the study of the moon.



The preliminary design will be ready this summer, but today the main parameters and appearance of the station, the stages of its creation are already well known to us. A new orbit, a new radiation environment will allow us to go deeper and master those Technology, which will be necessary for deep space, in particular for the lunar program. This is one of the advantages of the new orbit of the Russian station

- said Yuri Borisov.

After the launch of the scientific and energy module into orbit, other elements of the future station will begin to dock to it. The second stage will send the nodal and airlock elements into space using the Angara-5M launch vehicle. The first of them will become the center for further construction of the complex, and the second will be used for spacewalks for astronauts.

It is expected that no later than 2028, Russian cosmonauts will start working on the domestic orbital station. In order not to interrupt manned launches of spacecraft, the operation of the Russian segment of the ISS has been extended for just such a period.

Vladimir Putin stressed the importance of developing space projects in the Russian Federation and congratulated all industry workers on the holiday.

I would like to wish all your huge team success in space exploration. We keep saying that this is extremely important for our country, for all of humanity.

Said the president.

    it is for this period that the operation of the Russian segment of the ISS has been extended.

    What does extended for such a period mean? Sediq Afghan calculated everything mathematically (as in his time for the USSR in 1987 that it would collapse in 1991) So he said that in 2024 a financial collapse will begin in America and in 2025 it will fall apart into several parts and the US state will cease to exist. In principle, there is not much left to wait, we stock up on popcorn and we will see. And the main question is who will finance this dryna (ISS)? It seems to me that everything will be flooded. Watering near our MIR station (if the flooding is controlled and planned)

    The priority needs of the state are always financed and satisfied. Today there is a war with Ukraine and a proxy war with NATO. The first ones need military satellites - tracking and communications and other anti-satellites. There are problems with this, first of all, to cover this gap. Orbital stations can wait, because there are enough developments on the old ones, and later you can return to them with new opportunities and ideas.

    And why not raise and digitize the MIR station, why cut the budget, everything was compact there, and Buranas could receive, what's wrong again?
    And in aviation, it’s high time to do the Tu-334M project, and not all the garbage in the face of the ss-100, on its basis and cargo for the army to do with an engine with saber-shaped propellers.

      Well, it's not the ship that sank. The station flew from orbit to earth and burned in the dense layers of the atmosphere, and those debris that did not burn fell into the ocean. Yes, I think you can’t find the wreckage, they only know the approximate area where it should fall, but no one knows where it fell. Yes, and disposed of it because its term has come. Worked with a vengeance.

    That is, if in a nutshell - more stringent radiation conditions of the orbit are considered a plus, as conditions for experiments on protection from cosmic radiation.
    So what? Then you should not expect records for the duration of stay in orbit from this project. This means that the station will be uninhabited, like a testing ground for new materials. Arrived, loaded samples, flew away. It turns out something like this.

      And what is the meaning of these "stay records"? The parameters of the impact (including long-term) of low gravity have been fully studied, but the problems of ERP and outer space behind them, incl. with testing of materials and protection technologies are quite appropriate.

        - no, but is it really impossible to simulate cosmic radiation on earth?
        We seem to have enough accelerators to test materials for protection.
        It seems that the orbit parameters were chosen taking into account the need to constantly cover the polar regions of the country, including the Northern Sea Route.
        And they make a habitable station solely so that you can fly in and change electronics that have been irradiated beyond the limit.

    I still don't understand! What the hell are we supposed to do on Mars. Who has extra money in the state budget, then let them fly. We have PROBLEMS !!!!

      You are shortsighted.
      Can you imagine how the life of every Russian will change if water is found on Mars!
      All at once, with joy, they will begin to give birth, give birth, give birth ...... even men.
      And we will confidently overtake China in terms of population.
      PS It's always like this in Russia, while some people borrow money before their payday, others plan to plant fruit trees on Mars.

    Projects, projects, projects.
    It's a must - it's a must.
    But.....! Now the war is on + officials are stealing.
    What a station! Airplanes can't fly here.
    We will be able to build the station because our country will be able to produce such products in the singular or in small series

    All such statements are perceived very skeptically (as well as about the fact that we will "throw" the Americans to the ISS and end them), especially in the current conditions ...

    Hague Arbitration or new orbit with "Turn to the East" (天宫, Heavenly palace) for one of the VIP officials, as during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome?

    In 2001, Putin flooded our orbital station "Mir"

      Well flooded and flooded, forgot, drove. The main thing is that he PROMISED a new one. And the President keeps his promises.

    I understand that all this is designed to evacuate the elite? Work is running ahead of schedule.
