“Preliminarily, on November 24, we plan to launch another module on the ISS - Uzlovy (Berth).
We call it a "ball" among ourselves.
This will allow us to expand the possibilities of docking with the station of our ships, including the new "lunar" spacecraft "Eagle", - he wrote in Telegram.
As previously reported, the "Prichal" will have six docking hubs for receiving and placing other modules and ships around it.
In December 2020, Energia Corporation assembled a mock-up of the Oryol spacecraft to begin static tests.
"Eagle" differs from existing spacecraft in that it is made for the conquest of deep space and flights to the Moon: its thermal protection allows you to return to Earth at the 2nd space speed, Rogozin noted.
On July 29, the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module successfully docked to the International Space Station.
