Russian engineers have developed a project for a reusable spaceplane for the Russian Orbital Station (ROS), according to Vladimir Solovyov, General Designer of RSC Energia.
According to him, the spaceplane is an aircraft with a composite glider of the \"lifting body\" type and a swept V-shaped wing. It will be launched into orbit by the Angara rocket.
The spaceplane has a number of advantages - it reduces the stress experienced by astronauts during transportation, and also reduces the cost of search and rescue operations. It is expected that the device can be used in space tourism.
The first ROS module will appear in orbit at the end of 2027. Earlier, RSC Energia showed a model of the station's nodal module.
