Russia wants to place space station on another planet

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that people should put the future international space station on another planet, not on earth orbit as it is today.

RIA Novosti reported that Russia's deputy prime minister attended a conference on the future of space exploration on March 2. During the conference he talked about the possibility of placing a future space station on a planet.

'Perhaps placing space stations on other planets would be a more meaningful strategy for space exploration. We should think about that idea , 'said Rogozin.

The International Space Station (ISS), launched in 1998, is an artificial satellite flying on Earth's low orbit. Countries continue to add modules to expand ISS. It takes on the role of a space lab, where people have conducted experiments in the fields of biology, physics, astronomy and many other fields. Future spacecraft and spacecraft equipment can also be tested on ISS.

According to the original goal, the operating time of ISS will end in 2015, but it will likely operate until 2028.
