4 Upcoming Space Stations That Will Change the Future of Space Travel

The International Space Station is the current biggest and most valuable Space Station in the world, a modular space station in low Earth orbit. It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies, But as space becomes more accessible and cheaper, more and more space organizations and companies will try to send their one space station.

More space station is better for sustainable space infrastructure and it will also help space to become accessible to normal people in future.

The Lunar Orbital Station is a proposed Russian space station in lunar orbit. In 2007, the concept was presented during a presentation at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City. It is one of two components of the Russian lunar infrastructure, the other being a base on the Moon’s surface.

Six docking ports, a high-power antenna for communications, maneuvering and attitude control engines, solar panels, and a robotic arm would be included in LOS. The station’s components would be launched on a super-heavy Angara rocket.

Russia has expressed dissatisfaction with its position in the international Lunar Gateway, prompting the government to move forward with plans for its own lunar base. The first LOS module is scheduled to deploy in 2025.
