There are not enough Japanese and European modules, Roscosmos cosmonaut Dmitry Petelin said.

ISS, July 20. /tass/. Russian crew members of the International Space Station (ISS) have printed most of the models of its modules, reports the special correspondent of TASS, cosmonaut of Roscosmos Dmitry Petelin.

According to him, about 12 elements have been printed, including Japanese and European modules are missing. "We plan to complete the production of the ISS mock-up before returning to Earth," the cosmonaut said.

In April, Petelin reported that Russian crew members of the International Space Station had begun printing mock-ups of its modules in order to conduct spacewalk training. According to him, the printed models fit in the palm of your hand.

The 3D printer was delivered to the ISS for experiments on the Progress MS-20 spacecraft in June 2022, cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev was the first to test it. The experiment is devoted to the development of additive technologies for the production of products from polymer materials in space conditions. In the future, the use of these technologies will allow astronauts at near-Earth orbital stations to manufacture the necessary parts and tools directly in space, without waiting for their delivery on transport ships from Earth.

On November 17, 2021, TASS and Roscosmos signed a memorandum of cooperation, according to which the agency's office was opened on the ISS. Cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin became the first special correspondent of TASS. His flight lasted 12 days. Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev became the second special correspondent of the agency. Dmitry Petelin is currently working at the TASS office on the ISS.
