These plans to equip the ROS were revealed by the General Designer of the Russian Federation for manned space systems and complexes, General Designer of RSC Energia, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Solovyov in an interview with TASS News Agency. According to the scientist, mini-satellites will be located near the station.
They will first be sent to the ROS, and then deployed from the ROS to the desired location.
We are laying down new tasks that are completely uncharacteristic of current domestic and foreign spacecraft. For example, a family of small spacecraft will be controlled directly from the station. [...] This flotilla will fly in the vicinity of the station. And these are also fundamentally new tasks for management; no one has ever done this before!
Earlier in July, Russians and guests of the country were shown the full configuration of the ROS at the INNOPROM exhibition in Yekaterinburg. The first cosmonauts are scheduled to go to the ROS in 2028.
