Russia is ready to start building its own space station with the aim of launching it into orbit by 2030 if President Vladimir Putin gives the go-ahead, the head of its Roscosmos space agency said.

俄罗斯国家航天集团公司总经理罗戈津表示，俄罗斯将开始建造自己的空间站，并计划于2030年前将其送入轨道，目前正在等俄罗斯总统普京批准。

[Photo/Agencies]"If in 2030, in accordance with our plans, we can put it into orbit, it will be a colossal breakthrough," said Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin.

罗戈津说："如果能按照我们的计划，在2030年前将其送入轨道，那将是一个巨大突破。

"Rogozin said the Russian station, unlike the ISS, would most likely not be permanently crewed because its orbit path would expose it to higher radiation.

But cosmonauts would visit, and it would also use artificial intelligence and robots.

罗戈津表示，与国际空间站不同，俄罗斯空间站很可能不会永久性载人，因其轨道路径将使其暴露在更高的辐射中，但宇航员可以前去空间站，也会使用人工智能和机器人。

He said Russia was ready to consider allowing foreign crews to visit.

他还说，俄罗斯准备考虑允许外国人员访问。

An unnamed source said that Russia planned to spend up to $6b to get the project launched.

一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士说，俄罗斯计划斥资60亿美元启动该项目。

Russian deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov told Russian TV over the weekend that Moscow would give notice to its partners that it would leave the ISS project in 2025.

俄罗斯副总理尤里•鲍里索夫在上周末向俄罗斯电视台表示，莫斯科将通知其合作伙伴，其将从2025年退出国际空间站项目。

Russian cosmonauts have worked with counterparts from the US and 16 other countries on the ISS since 1998.

自1998年来，俄罗斯宇航员在国际空间站与美国及其他16个国家进行了合作。
