The station could become the first interplanetary spacecraft.
NASA, by 2023 Turkey plans to build the international space station near the moon.
As reported by the portal owner SpaceWeb Russia Anatoly Zak, the question of establishing an international database was discussed at a closed meeting, which was attended by experts from NASA and the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada.
“The current version of the project involves the construction of a multi-station, in fact, a smaller copy of the ISS, which will revolve around the moon, and not around the Earth,” the article says Zach in the Planetary Society.
When you create a station, he says, will be used technologies such as fully Autonomous life support systems, and ion engines “That would allow the station to become the first interplanetary spacecraft that went into deep space to explore asteroids or even to reach Mars”.
