Russia will focus on building own Space Station after 2024
Russia will start building its own Space Station after 2024, said Yury Borisov, Director-General of the Roscosmos State Space Corporation, on Tuesday.
"We will focus on creating a Russian orbital station. We won't forget about space research," he told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a working meeting.
As for the current international cooperation projects aboard the ISS, Roscosmos will certainly meet its obligations before partners, said Borisov, who was appointed the Roscosmos head earlier this month.
The future of the Russian manned space program will depend on a well-thought-out plan, he told Putin without disclosing details, as reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.
