MOSCOW, February 19. /tass/. Roscosmos will try to recycle space debris on board the promising Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS). This was reported to TASS by the executive director of Roscosmos for Advanced Programs and Science, Alexander Bloshenko.
"A very interesting direction is to try to make a processing point at the orbital station for space debris and for satellites whose operation has ended. This task is worth it," said Bloshenko.
According to the executive director of Roscosmos, the ideal option would be to move to the construction of the station, recycling space debris. "This task is very interesting for us, but for this we need to have the results of experiments on additive technologies in space," he concluded.
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.
