MOSCOW, November 15. /tass/. Experiments in the multipurpose laboratory module "Science", which was docked to the International Space Station in the summer, may begin in the near future. This was announced in an interview with TASS by Roscosmos cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, who is now on board the station.

In addition, the urine water regeneration system installed in the module may soon start working. "I hope we will launch it in the near future, and it will work, give us additional water to the station," Shkaplerov said.

The Nauka module was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on July 21 and docked to the ISS on July 29. It is intended for the implementation of the Russian program of scientific and applied research and experiments, and will also provide astronauts with additional space for the arrangement of workplaces and cargo storage, placement of equipment for the regeneration of water and oxygen.
