Modernization costs will exceed 2 billion rubles

Moscow. November 5th. INTERFAX - Roscosmos State Corporation plans to modernize simulators for training astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) for 2 billion rubles, it follows from the materials of the public procurement portal.

As noted in the contract, the state corporation allocated 2.1 billion rubles for the creation, modernization and maintenance of the technical means of training astronauts (TSPK). The work must be completed by November 10, 2025.

According to the document, it is planned to create TSPCS and their systems for the Russian segment of the ISS, the Soyuz manned transport spacecraft, as well as for promising spacecraft.

The current agreements provide for work on the ISS until 2024. The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, reported that about 80% of the equipment of the Russian segment of the ISS has exhausted its resource and the cost of maintaining it after 2025 will be comparable to the cost of creating a new station.

It was reported that Russia may withdraw from the ISS project from 2025, transferring responsibility for its segment to station partners. At the same time, it was noted that Russia can continue to support its segment with the financial participation of the United States.

On August 4, Roscosmos Executive Director for Manned Programs Sergey Krikalev announced that Russia will continue to work with international partners on the ISS after 2024.

"There is a discussion that it is advisable to extend the flight after 2024. We had a lot of debates about how astronautics will develop in low Earth orbit. But now it is becoming obvious that after 2024 we will continue to work together, including on the ISS," Krikalev said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel (VGTRK).

On July 31, Roscosmos reported that the completion of the ISS operation is scheduled for 2028. By this time, an independent Russian orbital station should be operational.

On August 23, Rogozin told Interfax that a decision on its configuration would be made based on the results of the development of the preliminary design of the station. So Russia can use the existing segment of the ISS as a basis or build a station from scratch.
