In 2028, a new Russian spacecraft will deliver its crew to a promising orbital station for the first time. This follows from the program signed by Roscosmos head Yuri Borisov on July 2. The first module of the station is planned to be launched into orbit using the Angara-A5M rocket at the end of 2027.
The program also assumes that the universal node and gateway modules will be launched in 2028, and the base module in late 2029 or early 2030. The station will be serviced by modernized Progress-ROS cargo ships. They will fly from Baikonur for the first two years, with plans to switch to launches from Vostochny by the end of 2029.
Borisov also signed contracts for the creation of a station and space complex, including a new manned spacecraft and a heavy Angara launch vehicle. The general program includes flight tests, the creation of launch vehicles, ground infrastructure facilities and the work of scientific institutes that will support the project.
