The tasks of a possible Russian replacement of the International Space Station (ISS) are revealed in the presentation of the General Director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin. This is reported by TASS .
"The advantages of the new station are: transformable modular architecture, extended service life, work in the interests of national defense and security, use for the assembly of an interplanetary expedition complex," the material notes.
The advantages of ROSS are, in particular, the storage and maintenance of spacecraft, the station's ability to reconfigure, conducting scientific experiments, the availability of universal workplaces outside and inside the facility, and the commercial segment.
