MOSCOW, January 25. /tass/. The Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS) under development can be used to develop various technologies that will be used in the future as part of the lunar program. This was announced by the head of the ballistics department of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (part of Roscosmos), Rafail Murtazin.
"Last September, at a joint meeting of the Bureau of Roscosmos and the Russian Academy of Sciences, it was proposed that this station would necessarily have an additional task to use for the development of technologies in the interests of the lunar program," Murtazin said at a round table within the XLVI Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S. P. Korolev (Royal Readings).
In April 2021, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that the state of the ISS leaves much to be desired, so Russia can focus on creating its own orbital station. The rocket and space corporation Energia was tasked with ensuring the readiness of the first module for a new domestic orbital station in 2025, it will be a scientific and energy module, which was previously supposed to be launched to the ISS in 2024.
The Scientific and Technical Council of Roscosmos recommended that work on the creation of a technical project for a new orbital station be included in the Federal Space Program - 2025.
XLVI Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S. P. Korolev (Royal Readings) started at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University on January 25. They will last until January 28. They are attended by specialists of the space industry, as well as students of specialized universities.
