In the Yuri A. Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center (part of Roscosmos), it was said that the crew of the Russian Space Station would consist of two cosmonauts.
«The ROS crew at the initial stage will consist of two cosmonauts, this means that each crew member on ROS will have a wider range of duties and areas of responsibility than on the ISS. This will accordingly be reflected in the training of cosmonauts», - said in the Cosmonaut Training Center.
It is planned to test key technologies for future space flights on ROS, including to the Moon and Mars.
«It is planned to test devices, advanced technologies, new components, systems and prototypes of equipment in the real conditions of space flight, made on domestic element base on the ROS station. This in turn determines the tasks of development of all components of the cosmonaut training system in the CTC for new space programs», - explained in the Cosmonaut Training Center.
It is reported that the sketch design of the station is currently underway, it will be completed in summer this year.
