Interview with Vladimir Solovyov, General Designer of RSC "Energia", quick summary after video

 

  • ISS future - Russia is going out of the programm for several reasons, American side recently also started to think of the way to end programm and think about plans to do their own new station. (Taking into account that according to him about 5-6 times per year ISS does "dodging" from space junk, movement is done by Russian part of the ISS, while American part can do rotations/orientation of the station, but can't move station i guess reasons for American side to go away from ISS is that they will have hard time or too costly to run station without Russian part)
  • ROSS station - design of the station is currently being worked on. Planned to be long term. 
  • Oryol ("Eagle", Ex-"Federation") transport ship is in development, good progress made, planned first prototype in 2023. Currently they made parts and tested them, including hull. Ship is being designed for Angara. One of design goals - Moon flight.
  • "Orlyonok" (small Eagle) - smaller, cheaper ship for cheaper rockets (something other than Angara), preliminary design is being worked on.
  • A lot of "fresh blood" in Russian space industry. Company is being re-structured to improve work.
