MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th February, 2023) In two years, Russia has carried out enough work to repair and retrofit the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) to extend its lifespan through 2028, Vladimir Solovyov, the general designer for manned space systems at Energia RSC, said.
Earlier, Roscosmos said that the Energia RSC Chief Designers Council had recommended extending the life of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) through 2028.
