Russia will conduct 15 launches of the Angara heavy-class rocket between 2027 and 2033 as part of the Russian Orbital Station project, Yury Borisov, head of Russia’s Roscosmos State Space Agency, said.

"The mission is challenging. We will need to conduct 15 launches of the Angara heavy-class rocket in 2027-2033, as well as 19 launches of the Progress cargo spacecraft, to complete the construction of the Russian Orbital Station. We also need to develop infrastructure on Earth and prepare a spaceport.

The model of an advanced cargo spacecraft has already been provided to the Cosmonaut Training Center, and crew training has begun. This work will involve dozens of enterprises across Russia," Borisov told the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
