MOSCOW (Sputnik) – From November 20 to 23, Moscow hosts the Third International Conference "Science on the ISS".
The Russian Orbital Station, whose construction is expected to start in 2024, will be equipped with optical sensors to conduct a round-the-clock monitoring of the Earth's surface, said Yuri Borisov, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos during the third International Conference "Science on the ISS" in Moscow on Monday.

"The station will be presumably stuffed with optic sensors in different ranges, including in far-infrared range, X-ray-range. It will be a flying laboratory able of constantly monitoring the Earth's surface and Russia's territory," Borisov said

The Roscosmos chief also said that the designers of the new orbital station would ensure that all flaws detected during the International Space Station's (ISS) operation are taken into account to provide for more productive scientific research.

Roscosmos Invites Brazil, Turkey & South Africa to Participate in Russian Orbital Station Project
The first module of the Russian Orbital Station is expected to be launched into orbit by 2027, and in five years, the construction of the station will be completed. Russia is planning to leave the ISS by 2028.
The ISS, whose construction began in 1998, was initially intended to be operated for only 15 years. The period was later extended until 2020, and then until 2024. In 2022, NASA announced a planned date of January 2031 to de-orbit the ISS.
During the Third International Conference "Science on the ISS", participants you will get the details about to the promising Russian orbital station and will discuss the tasks, achievements, and research conducted on the International Space Station.
The conference "Science on the ISS" began in Moscow on November 20-23. It was organized in honor of the 25th anniversary of the launch of the International Space Station in 1998.
