RUSSIA AND THE US WILL BUILD A DEEP SPACE GATEWAY ORBITING THE MOON
The United States and Russia will work together on building A Moon Base.
There have been lots of rumors going around that Russia and the US are going to join forces
to build a lunar base.
Roscosmos, the head of the space organization, along with NASA have now revealed a partnership
agreement, and they said that both countries have the same common vision for human exploration.
LUNAR ORBIT BUILDING TO START BY 2020 They said that the US and Russia are going to cooperate
on a Moon program and they gave the name Deep Space Gateway a mention specifically.
This is the base that NASA has been planning on building in lunar orbit and they plan on
doing so by 2020.
The release from the two set a 2020 goal as the start of the project.
The press release also stated other internal partners are now considering signing into
the lunar base project.
The statement to come from Roscosmos outlined a plan in rough for the creation of international
technical standards for the space station on the Moon.
It talked about life support systems along with docking ports that will have the base
of a design by the Russians.
This is down to the fact that the Russians have a great deal more experience in regards
to the running of a space station along with the life support systems on-board the ISS
being in the Zvezda Russian section.
US WANTED TO WORK WITH RUSSIA FROM THE START At the moment the ISS has ports that are different
from the multiple vehicles that are docked within it.
The Russian Soyuz capsule makes use of a docking port that has a different style than that
of the space shuttle.
The US had to put in adapters so as to convert the Shuttle docking ports along with allowing
private crafts such as the SpaceX Dragon to connect with them.
The US said that the wanted to work with the Russians from the start instead of carrying
out plans of their own and then getting the Russian on-board at the last minute.
NASA is relying on the heavy lift rocket by the name of SLS when it comes to building
the Deep Space Gateway, however, they are only going to launch it once a year and this
is something that really does not seem to be all that feasible.
However, the statement from Roscosmos has shed some light on that as the rockets of
Russia are going to help with construction.
US AND RUSSIA WILL WORK TOGETHER DESPITE TENSIONS The US and Russia working together is a big
deal, for a lot of reasons as they are working as one even though there is a great deal of
tension between them.
It may mean that the countries will be less likely to turn to hostilities outright.
The aims of NASA have not been very clear up to this point and haven�t been for a
long time.
They did reveal goals that are very ambitious but they did not have a plan that was clear
on just how they achieved it and without any budget to be able to support it.
The organization has slowly been scaling back since that time, however, thanks to international
agreement with cooperation it does now look like the Deep Space Gateway is really going
to happen.
Due to this they have international partners and so Congress might not cancel the project,
bear in mind that the International Space Station managed to get passed with just one
single vote.
