On October 26th, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin inspected korolev Energy Rocket Space Group in Moscow State. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Manturov and President of Russian National Aerospace Corporation borisov accompanied him and showed Putin the Russian orbital space station module that has been manufactured. Russian astronauts will use Russian-made space stations after withdrawing from the International Space Station project.
On the same day, Putin said in a discussion with the staff in the space rocket field that he expected the first part of the Russian space station to be launched into orbit in 2027.
Putin also said in the discussion that he was saddened by the crash of the "Moon -25" probe, but it was also an experience. Russia will not stop the lunar exploration project and will continue. Borisov, president of the Russian National Aerospace Corporation, later said that the launch of Russia’s next lunar probe "Moon -26" may be advanced from 2027 to 2026.
After the inspection and discussion, Putin held a working conference in the space field. Putin said at the meeting that although Russia decided to extend its participation in the International Space Station project until 2028, this move is only a temporary transitional step, and Russia should develop its own orbital space station.
