Moscow. November 27. INTERFAX - Roscosmos will develop a new manned and spacecraft for the new orbital station, the head of the state corporation Dmitry Rogozin said.

"We also pin great hopes on the development of new technical means, which should appear at the turn of 2026-2027. They will be determined as part of the preliminary design for the creation of a Russian orbital service station. That is, the preliminary design will involve both work on the new station and on a new transport system for low orbits," Rogozin said, quoted by the state corporation's website.

At the same time, according to him, at the first stage of the deployment of the new orbital station, existing spacecraft will be used - the manned Soyuz and cargo Progress.

Russia, as reported, has decided to build its own orbital station, an exit from the International Space Station (ISS) project is being considered, and this is due to the deterioration of the technical condition of the Russian segment of the station.

Rogozin stated earlier that about 80% of the equipment of the Russian segment of the ISS has exhausted its resource, and the cost of its maintenance after 2025 will be comparable to the cost of creating a new station.

It was also 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.

An alternative would be the creation of a national orbital station, the first module of which is planned to be launched in 2025, and the deployment will be completed in 2035.

On July 31, the Scientific and Technical Council of Roscosmos approved the creation of a new Russian orbital station.

The ISS is scheduled to be completed in 2028, by which time Roscosmos should launch a new Russian orbital station.

On September 21, the Scientific and Technical Council of Roscosmos and the Space Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences approved the concept of the new station and recommended submitting it to the Government of the Russian Federation.

Russia will be able to finance the construction of a new orbital station itself, but it is also ready for cooperation, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said on April 19, noting that the station could be "a kind of intermediate point for flights and exploration of the Moon, lunar space."
