Russian space station will replace the US ISS global surveillance

Russian space station modules (ROS) are able to work immediately after the ISS international space station completes its flight program in 2024-2025 in case of appropriate decisions and funding.

A modue belongs to an outer space ISS complex.

That is the affirmation from Executive Director RSC Energia, Mr. Vladimir Solntsev answered Russian international news agency RIA Novosti.

According to Mr. Solntsev, the company's experts are actively working on the ROS project to replace the ISS international space station. Unlike previous generation space station versions - with a fixed age, the original ROS was built with the ability to replace all modules and operate in an infinite amount of time.

Mr. Solntsev said that the control of ROS will borrow from ground-based infrastructures being exploited by the Russian ISS universe (RCC, NPC, search and rescue devices, medical support on ground, train crew and management staff).

In order to ensure rotation of the crew as well as cargo transport, Soyuz MS, Progress MS and special transport spacecraft Energia are designing to take over the task.
