Projected Russian Orbital Station to Support Flights to the Moon Every 15 Days

Ballistics specialist at the Rocket and Space Corporation (RSC) Energia Nikita Chudinov spoke about the prospects of the new Russian orbital station ROS.

According to him, quoted by RIA Novosti , ROS will be a key element in the lunar program, providing the opportunity for regular flights to the Moon from the station plane every 15 days. High flight activity will ensure a long stay of the crew with two-launch schemes.

According to Rafail Murtazin, head of the ballistics department of RSC Energia, the altitude of the ROS orbit will be 370 kilometers, which is 60 kilometers less than the current ISS. This will reduce the risk of the station colliding with space debris, since atmospheric effects at this altitude remove debris from orbit more quickly.

The first ROS module is scheduled to launch in 2027 , with completion of on-orbit construction planned five years later. The main feature of the station will be its orbit with an inclination of 96.8 degrees, which will allow it to cover the entire territory of Russia. Unlike the International Space Station (ISS), which has an inclination of 51.6 degrees, the ROS will see all corners of the country.
