MOSCOW. Nov 26 (Interfax) - The new Russian orbital station is expected to consist of three to seven modules and to have a crew of up to four members, Energia Rocket and Space Corporation Deputy General Director Vladimir Solovyov said.
"Presumably, the ROSS [Russian Orbital Service Station] will consist of three to seven modules and will be staffed by two to four crewmembers," Solovyov said at the Thursday meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Council on Space Research.
The station will also be able to operate in an uncrewed mode, he said.
