In the space sphere, it is important not to allow interruptions in the development of technologies, and therefore Roscosmos will go into a kind of "technological overlap," said Dmitry Rogozin, CEO of the state corporation, in the 17th issue of the Internet program "Chronicle of Russian Space. The General Manager's line".
According to him, Roscosmos currently uses, in particular, efficient and reliable Progress and Soyuz spacecraft.
"But 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," the head said.
In June 2015, Rogozin announced at the Technoprom-2015 international forum that he had come up with a new term. "I came up with a term, and I really like it: "technological fitness", when the industry needs to be "dried". And only the "dried up" industry will give a breakthrough," he said .
