OREANDA-NEWS There are many questions about the choice of the inclination of the orbit of the Russian Space Station (ROS), related to the prospects for international cooperation. Dmitry Bakanov, Director General of the Roscosmos state Corporation, told RBC about this.
"Because the orbit that we choose, the orbit that the United States and other countries choose for their promising space station, will determine the ability of astronauts to dock, undock, and transfer between the two modules," the head noted.
Bakanov did not say which alternatives to tilt the ROS orbit could be discussed.
In April 2024, the state corporation announced that it had approved a preliminary design of the spacecraft with an inclination of 97 degrees versus 52 degrees than that of the International Space Station, which "will provide an overview of the entire Earth's surface, including the strategically important Northern Sea Route for our country."
