Roscosmos General Manager Yuri Borisov said that the state company plans to link the flight tests of the promising Orel spacecraft with the deployment of a new Russian orbital station (ROS). It has been reported TASS.
“Originally, flight tests of the PTK (promising transport ship) were planned to dock at the International Space Station. “But taking into account the fact that we are simultaneously working on the creation of a new orbital station, it seems logical to connect the ship’s systems and ROS to synchronize flight tests with the deployment of ROS.”
Previously, it was known that Energia Rocket and Space Corporation (RKK), part of Roskosmos. sent An order for the development of the working concept of the Russian orbital station, as evidenced by the materials.
“The purpose of the events is to prepare a reasonable position on the intended use and purpose and the business model of the Russian Orbital Station,” says the materials.
