Astronauts will fly to ROSS on a shift basis

MOSCOW, August 26. /TASS/. The Rocket and Space Corporation (RSC) Energia is working on the launch of the first in the history of the domestic orbital station with the functions of a space port. This was reported on Thursday on the YouTube channel of RSC Energia in a program dedicated to the activities of the corporation.

"ROSS is a Russian orbital service station. The next stage of Russia's space activity. <...> There will be no permanent crew on the station; ROSS will become a space port for small spacecraft, " the broadcast reported.

According to representatives of RSC Energia, astronauts will fly to ROSS on a shift basis, and the station's infrastructure will be able to service orbiters. ROSS is planned in the form of a cloud station, when the station has not only a core, but also autonomous modules flying around it, which periodically approach the station for its maintenance.

"ROSS is a creatively rethought and technically more perfect return to the idea of the Mir-2 station. The placement of the Mir-2 was also supposed to be at high latitudes of the planet. This would allow us to fully observe the territory of our country and especially interesting areas of the Arctic from an economic point of view," the report says.

In April, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that the state of the ISS leaves much to be desired, so Russia can focus on creating its own orbital station. The task of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia is to ensure the readiness of the first base module for the new Russian orbital station in 2025, it will be a scientific and energy module, which was previously supposed to be launched to the ISS in 2024.

The general director of the state corporation Dmitry Rogozin in an interview with TASS said that he sent a letter to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov with a detailed roadmap of the project and materials of the presidium of the scientific and technical Council of Roscosmos. He specified that the inclination of the ROSS orbit (51.6 degrees or 97-98 degrees) will be determined during the preliminary design.
