The new manned spacecraft "Eagle" with a crew may fly in 2025 not to the International Space Station, but to the Russian station, Dmitry Rogozin, General Director of the State Corporation Roscosmos, said on Friday.
Eagle spaceship
“If in 2025 we deploy the base module of the new station, then we will fly with a new ship. We plan to launch a new manned spacecraft Eagle in 2025, and we plan to fly to the ISS. Yesterday I met with a detachment of cosmonauts, collected them all, and we are now considering the possibility of changing the flight mission, that is, to fly not to the ISS, but a new manned spacecraft with a crew will fly to our Russian station, ”he said.
Russian Lunar Station
Earlier Rogozin reported that the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (part of the State Corporation Roscosmos) was tasked with ensuring the readiness of the first base module for the new Russian space station in 2025. According to him, he is already at work. The head of the state corporation also published a video of the first module being created. It will be the Science and Power Module, which was previously supposed to be launched to the ISS in 2024.
