Russia begins designing its own new space station

The start of work on the design of a new space station has been announced by the Russian state space enterprise “Roskosmos.”
Sergey Krikalyov, executive director of manned space flight projects at Ross Cosmos, stated at a press conference that “we are thinking about establishing a new space station and starting the preliminary design work.”

The final answer is still a work in progress, but trips to the International Space Station will go on as long as our new infrastructure is being built, he continued.
We don’t yet know how it will be constructed, he continued. However, I am confident that we will maintain our worldwide relationship, and that it will also exist for the future station and infrastructure as long as we continue to go to the International Space Station.

This happened following yesterday’s, October 5, launch of the American Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station with Russian cosmonaut Anna Kekina aboard.
