Forget the ISS, get ready for the ROS: Russia reveals plans for solo space station

Daily Mail  

Russia has revealed plans for its own new space station to replace the ISS when it comes to an end. It is believed the station could become integral to Russia's plans to return to the moon and build a lunar base by 2030. British astronaut Tim Peake is already dreaming of joining a mission to the moon days after returning from orbit as the European Space Agency unveiled ambitious plans to explore the lunar surface. Earlier this year the European Space Agency said it planned to work with Russia on its mission to land on the moon Currently Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, which are built by RSC Energia, are the only vehicles capable of sending humans into space. However, Russia's ambitious plans to return to the moon could now trigger a new race to exploit the minerals and other resources on the lunar surface.
