According to the head of Roscosmos, the years of the ISS are numbered

ST. PETERSBURG, June 3. /TASS/. Russia and the United States are facing problems on the ISS, which arise from the aging of the structure. This was announced on Thursday in an interview with TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2021), the Director General of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin.

"Both we and the Americans have real problems with the aging of the structure, because it [the ISS] is about 20 years old: metal fatigue, we need to change the electronics," Rogozin said.

According to the head of Roscosmos, the years of the ISS are numbered. "At most until 2030, I do not think that we will operate [the ISS] longer," Rogozin expressed his opinion.

The General Director of the state corporation recalled that the Russian Federation has begun to create a scientific and energy module. He also considered it wrong that it would be used as part of the ISS for five years instead of 15-20 years. Therefore, it can be launched to a new space station.

"When you operate a unit that has been operating for a long time beyond its designated time limit, you will need more money to maintain the station in the necessary condition. We must also keep in mind that there are people there, God forbid there will be an emergency situation that will endanger the lives of our cosmonauts," Rogozin concluded.

Earlier, the head of Roscosmos said that the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia was tasked with ensuring the readiness of the first base module for the new Russian space station in 2025. According to him, it is already in the works. The head of the state corporation also published a video of the first module being created - it will be a scientific and energy module, which was previously supposed to be launched to the International Space Station in 2024.
