such a tilt provides more opportunities to study deep space."
Earlier in 2022, Roscosmos signed a contract with the S.P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to develop a preliminary design for the ROS for 2.7 billion rubles. Vladimir Kozhevnikov, Deputy General Designer of Energia, noted that in Russian space history, the creation of the ROS is the largest project in the entire history of the country: "This is our main challenge. We need to do everything at the same time: the orbital segment, the manned spacecraft, the spain whatsapp resource ground infrastructure, and the ground control systems."
a ComNews correspondent, a representative of external and internal communications for Roscosmos responded that the media had been provided with exhaustive information at the moment, while a representative of RSC Energia reported that he could not provide additional information. Representatives of the Khrunichev State Space Research and Production Center also did not respond to questions from a ComNews correspondent.
Science journalist Mikhail Kotov believes that the creation of the Russian orbital station by Roscosmos is a natural course of events in the current situation: "Two decades ago it seemed that the basis for conquering space was the joint work of many states at once, but subsequent years of work have shown that this model is highly dependent on political trends, currents, actions, and the impact of everything else. The world is gradually moving towards national stations, such as ROS or the Chinese Tiangong."
Mikhail Kotov told a ComNews correspondent that Roscosmos has no problems preventing the creation of the ROS within the stated timeframe: "Yes, it will not be easy and will require efforts from all parts of Roscosmos, but it seems to me that it is absolutely realistic if there is desire, serious administrative and financial support, if it is exactly on the scale and volumes that were announced at the beginning."
