International Military - The Russian Federal Space Agency ( Roscosmos ) revealed the initial design of the Russian space station known as ROSS (Russian Orbital Service Station). The Russian Orbital Station which consists of two stages is designed to accommodate 4 to 6 cosmonauts (astronauts).
Roscosmos for the first time shows the public a model shape of the new Russian orbital station during the Army-2022 International Military Technical Forum on August 15, 2022.
Quoted from parabolicarc, Wednesday (24/8/2022), currently Energia Rocket and Space Corporation (part of Roscosmos) is developing the design of the Russian Orbital Station, which consists of two stages.

This module will provide a crew of two with a total pressurized volume of 228 cubic meters, including up to 19 cubic meters to accommodate scientific equipment. In the second stage, the Russian Orbital Station is planned to be equipped with target and production modules, as well as a service platform.
Therefore, the total volume of the pressurized station for a crew of two to four people will increase to 667 cubic meters, of which up to 49 cubic meters will be used for the installation of scientific equipment.
