Roscosmos chief confirms ISS deorbiting schedule, plans for 2030 ocean plunge

Russian Aviaton » Tuesday March 10, 2026 12:07 MSK

The International Space Station (ISS) will begin its gradual deorbiting in 2028 ahead of its scheduled plunge into the ocean in 2030, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Bakanov said in an interview with Razvedchik Journal.

"First and foremost, we are working on the ISS project; we've got a few years left of its joint operation. In 2028, we will begin the gradual deorbiting of the station, with its subsequent plunge into the ocean scheduled for 2030," the state corporation CEO noted.

The launch of the first module of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) from Baikonur Spaceport into a 51.6-degree orbit is also planned for 2028, Bakanov said. Later, the launch of the universal node and gateway modules is planned from Baikonur.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
