TL;DR Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the construction of an Orbital Station as Russia's human spaceflight program heavily relies on the International Space Station (ISS), which is expected to be decommissioned by 2030. The first component of the new station is planned for launch in late 2027, with subsequent modules to follow. Russia's space program has faced setbacks and reputational damage in recent years, while China and NASA are advancing their own space station and lunar exploration plans.
