The issue of the inclination of the Russian orbital station needs to be discussed again!
It should be studied about the docking transfer with other countries' space stations.
Russian TASS published an article on July 29.
The head of the Russian space agency pointed out: The issue of the inclination of the Russian orbital station (ROOS) has not been resolved yet, and the inclination of the Russian orbital station needs to consider issues including international cooperation.
In an interview, Bakanov said, "There are many issues regarding the orbital inclination and international cooperation now. Because the selected orbit will determine whether other countries can dock, separate from our selected orbit or the space station in the US orbit, and transfer astronauts between two modules."
Russia is currently working on building its future orbital space station.
For a long time, there have been plans to launch a Russian orbital space station (ROSS) on a polar orbit close to a 97-degree inclination.
This would allow the observation of the entire territory of Russia and strategically important Arctic sea routes from the space station, but it would also bring new risks related to radiation and other factors.
Bakhanov did not specify the orbital inclination options being considered as an alternative to the previously reported high-latitude orbit.
The orbital inclination refers to the angle of the space station's orbital plane relative to the Earth's equatorial plane. The value of the orbital inclination ranges from 0° to 90°, where 0° is an equatorial orbit, and 90° is a polar orbit.
The orbital inclination of the Chinese Space Station is 41.5 degrees to 43 degrees, and the orbital inclination of the International Space Station is 51.6 degrees.
