The state corporation "Roscosmos" presented at the International exhibition "Russia" in the VDNH pavilion "Cosmonautics and aviation" a model of the new Russian orbital station. It will replace the rapidly aging ISS for Russian cosmonauts and scientists. The development of the scientific and experimental module is already underway, the first station module will be launched in two years.
When creating the ROS, technologies of "Rosatom" will be used, and the station itself will become a testing ground for various experiments. With its help, fundamental and applied tasks will be solved for artificial intelligence, cosmology, laser physics, supercomputer modeling, and experimental astrophysics.
It will differ from the ISS not only in technical content, but also in a polar orbit, which will provide a view of all Russian territory. It is assumed that, in particular, the new station will be able to survey the strategically important Northern Sea Route 16 times a day. Now, from the ISS, astronauts can see only 15% of Russian land. But for the development of science and technology, and for safety, this is not enough.
The exposition also includes other interesting objects. For example, the new launch vehicle "Angara", the prospective launch vehicle "Corona", or a model of the demonstrator of the reusable winged rocket stage "Wing-SV".
The International Exhibition-Forum "Russia" will last until April 12, 2024.
