ISS Deorbit in 2030: Russia Launches New Orbital Station
6 Apr
Summary
- Russia plans to complete ISS deorbiting by 2030.
- The new Russian Orbital Station (ROS) will launch in 2028.
- ROS will share the ISS's 51.6-degree orbital inclination.
Russia is set to complete the deorbiting of the International Space Station (ISS) by 2030, following an agreement with NASA. This significant milestone will mark the end of Russia's collaboration on the ISS.
Preparations for Russia's independent space future are underway, with the first module of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) scheduled for deployment in 2028. Bakanov emphasized the importance of synchronizing the ISS's deorbiting with the ROS's launch.
The new ROS is planned to be a fully-fledged, independent national station in orbit, facilitating domestic scientific experiments. The approved orbital inclination for the ROS is 51.6 degrees, identical to that of the ISS.
