Russia will abandon the International Space Station (ISS) program starting in 2024 due to a dispute with the United States over the conflict in Ukraine. Roscosmos has already announced that they will build their own space station after this. At the Army-2022 forum this week, a model showing the design of the station to be used was shown.
It is similar to the Mir space station used by Roscosmos from 1986 to 2011 but on a larger scale. There are similarities with China's Tiangong space station as both use the same technology. The only difference is that the Tiangong is T-shaped when completed while the Russian station is cross-shaped.
In addition to Russia, China and the United States, two more space stations will be built by private companies Blue Origin and Axiom Space.
