Lunar Orbital Station

The Lunar Orbital Station (Russian: Лунная Орбитальная Станция, romanized: Lunnaya Orbital'naya Stantsiya; LOS) is a proposed Russian space station which would orbit around the Moon.

[1] The design was presented in 2007 at a conference at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City.

LOS would have six docking ports, a high-power antenna for communications, maneuvering and attitude control engines, solar panels and a robotic arm.

The station components would be launched atop a super heavy version of the Angara rocket.

Russia has expressed discontent with its role in the international Lunar Gateway, which prompted the country to go ahead with the planning of its own lunar station.
