The Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex ((ロシア語:Орбитальный Пилотируемый Сборочно-Экспериментальный Комплекс), ''Orbital'nyj Pilotirujemyj Sborochno-Eksperimental'nyj Kompleks'')〔http://www.russianspaceweb.com/opsek.html〕 (ОПСЭК, OPSEK) is a Russian proposed third-generation modular space station in Low Earth orbit. OPSEK would initially consist of modules from the Russian Orbital Segment of the International Space Station (ISS). The proposal would use OPSEK to assemble components of manned interplanetary spacecraft destined for Mars, the Moon, and possibly Saturn. The returning crew would also recover on the station before landing on Earth. This Russian space station could form part of a deep-space network, supporting manned exploration of the Solar System. ==Overview== Before the predicted decommissioning of the International Space Station in the 2020s, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) plans to detach some of its modules, such as the Multipurpose Laboratory Module (which has not yet launched to the ISS), and use them as the basis for a new space station. On 17 June 2009, Roscosmos officially informed its ISS partner NASA about its intention to "build and prepare for operation the first elements of the orbital assembly and experimental piloted space complex by the end of the ISS life cycle."〔 According to the Russian manned spaceflight contractor RKK Energia, the new station must be able to perform the following tasks: *Large spacecraft assembly *Flight tests and launches *Creating, servicing and completing inter-orbital tugs *Providing medical and biological conditions required for the rehabilitation of interplanetary expedition crews after their return to Earth orbit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
