Russian Reusable Re-entry Vehicle and Space station?

posted by [personal profile] purplecthulhu at 11:18pm on 18/08/2009
If true, then this is rather interesting - a commercialization of the former USSR military manned space station and associated reusable rentry vehicle. The claims that it will turn a profit rapidly are interesting and have to be taken with a pinch of salt, but the prospect of a new way of getting science operations into space for 10 day durations has got to be interesting.

Given the continuing problems with the NASA replacement for shuttle, ARES-Orion, this just adds extra pressure to the US space programme...

Are they leaving the 23mm cannon installed on the Almaz? Could enliven the long journey round the moon.
