Russia's Plans for a Space Station Includes "Recycling" its ISS Modules


According to a recent statement from Oleg Orlov, Director of the Institute of Biomedical Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), the new Russian Orbital Station (ROS) will include the modules that make up the Russian Orbital Segment of ISS - Zarya, Zvezda, Poisk, Rassvet, Nauka, and Pricha. "The Scientific and Technical Council of Roscosmos supported this proposal and approved the deployment of a Russian orbital station as part of the Russian segment of the ISS as the main possible scenario," said Orlov, who was quoted by the Russian state news agency TASS.
