Roscosmos Executive Director: We will probably continue flying to the ISS until we have a new orbital infrastructure

October 4 2022 28

Discussions continue on the topic of further participation or non-participation of the Russian Federation in the work program of the International Space Station. In Roskosmos, they decided to speak out on this at a press conference dedicated to the upcoming first stories the flight of a Russian cosmonaut on the American private spacecraft Crew Dragon of SpaceX company Elon Musk.

Recall that the day before, so to speak, Elon Musk's non-space publication made a lot of noise, especially in Ukraine. The American inventor, engineer and billionaire proposed his own version of the end of the armed conflict, pointing out that Kyiv first needs to recognize the Russian status of Crimea, provide the peninsula with water and choose a truly non-bloc neutral status.

Meanwhile, cosmonaut Anna Kikina is preparing for the flight on Crew Dragon. Preparations are being made under the ongoing cross-flight program between Roscosmos and NASA. Recall that just recently an American astronaut was delivered aboard the ISS with the help of a Russian launch vehicle.

According to the executive director of Roscosmos Sergey Krikalev, the final decision on whether Russia will operate the ISS after 2024 or withdraw from the project will be made next year, 2023. Krikalev himself, answering questions from Western journalists, expressed the hope that the partnership within the project would continue.

Sergey Krikalev pointed out that Russia is considering creating its own orbital station, but everyone is well aware that this is a process that will take time:

In this regard, apparently, we will continue to fly (to the ISS) until we have a new orbital infrastructure that supports the presence of a person on it.

He also added that the partnership between NASA and Roscosmos is maintained and is quite active.

  And before that, Ragozin told us about trampolines, and now we will fly on the Dragon.

    Why not? Their astronauts along with the cosmonauts on the Soyuz, our cosmonauts along with the astronauts on the Dragons. But Rogozin really was a fan of telling tales. Yes, even here on the site, some still talk about the RD-180, which must be stopped supplying so that the Americans cannot fly into space.

      The supply of RD-180 and RD-181 engines to the United States has been discontinued. The previously received stock of such engines allows them to carry out launches of Atlas-5 and Antares carriers for some time. Once the engines are exhausted, these carriers will stop flying.

    Of course. There is a preliminary design of the ROS station, which should be completed next year.

    As part of cross-flights at the request of NASA, which is not sure about the availability of its astronaut on the ISS in case of force majeure.

        About the fact that "The Chinese look at your statement with laughter"? Well, the stump is clear.
        
        The man was mistaken, he wanted to say that we were the only ones who delivered our "partners" to the ISS for the only 9 years. By the way, to the detriment of our space program at the station, as they were forced to reduce the number of our part of the crew.
        
        As for China, it uses space technologies bought from us or peeped in the West for its space program, and the rare flights of their spacecraft in the past decade did not make the weather. They are only now approaching the acquisition of research data at the level of our Mir station. Therefore, they need new technologies - hence all their statements about possible international participation in their OS program. But under their patronage.
        
        As for our country, we do not welcome such a format of OS cooperation with other countries. Therefore, we are now considering working with them mainly only within the framework of the MLNS.

        Your statement is also false. After the termination of the transportation of the United States, we did not increase the number of our astronauts on the ISS, but even reduced it. The problem was not in the production of ships, but in money, and money became even less after the cessation of transportation.

        Wrong. The pilot program is not paid from extrabudgetary sources. The number of our part of the ISS crew was again increased to three cosmonauts. If you still know how to count to three, then cosmonauts Oleg Atemiev, Denis Matveev and Sergei Korsakov have just returned from a six-month flight. Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin have been launched to the ISS and Anna Kikina will soon join them.
        
        Until the end of the ISS RS operation, the number of our part of the crew will correspond to the quota. The crew will also be periodically increased as part of visiting expeditions - from one to two such expeditions are planned during the year.

In principle, nothing new has been announced.
Leaving the project "after 2024" did not mean leaving it in 2025.
And of course, you need to work there as long as possible. There would be a real scientific program.
And by the way, can you later count on a summary report on Russia's achievements on the ISS?

What was studied, what was discovered, what was practically created.

    Under current conditions, ROSS will be in a semi-frozen state for the next 3 years. For there is no money. 23 years stung everything they could (deficit 2%), 24-25 a little less (1%) - but you still have to live up to them. Every year is scarce, which they are going to cover with loans.
    
    And yes, if there are new 300-500k mobilizations, then the deficit will be even greater. And in general, it will not be up to space, but you will have to spend everything on a small victorious one and on a refrigerator so that 1917/91 does not happen.

      Wrong. Funding for the preliminary design of the station has been allocated in full.
      
      Our Scientific and Energy Module is planned as the first module of the station, the state of readiness of which has been brought to the moment of the start of the EP at the ROS station. In 2024, the construction of the module will continue in accordance with the new design solutions - new components will be installed on the module that will be required for it as its first module.
      
      The launch of the first module of the ROS station is scheduled for 2027-2028.

The fact is that for us it is precisely the presence. They are gaining experience which for us has already passed the stage. The main amount of money is theirs, therefore, the composition and volume of work depend on them

It seems to me that we will no longer be able and will not have an orbital station, damn it, as a child, 30 years ago, I dreamed of space, I was proud of the orbital stations of the USSR, and then 2022, we lived, we can’t even have our own orbital station (((shame and shame. .. and shame!
