A meeting of the Presidium of the Scientific and Technical Council (STC) was held at Roscosmos. It was used to decide what to do next with the International Space Station (ISS), which will soon expire.
The Council of Chief Designers stated that due to the aging of a significant part of the ISS equipment, it could be risky to use the Russian segment of the station after 2024. Therefore, experts suggested creating a national station in low earth orbit. It will be called the Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS).
Roscosmos stated that ROSS should become an evolutionary step in developing a program for the study and development of the Moon, flights to Mars, etc.
The Council recommended Roskosmos to start working on the design of the new orbital station.
Recall that an air leak is observed on the ISS, due to which the pressure in the Zvezda module drops.
