Description
The international space station "Alpha" consists of the American, Russian, European and Japanese segments. Its integration in the orbit will take place in November, 1997 starting from the injection of 20-tonn energy block on the basis of the unified functional cargo block (russian abbreviation as EFGB) by means of the "Proton" LV. The EFGB is designed by the KHRUNICHEV State Research and Production Space Center (KSRPSC). The orbit hight with the inclination of 51.6 deg for EFGB is so selected thai by the end of December, 1997 it can be decreased upto the hight (approx. 150 nautical miles) at which the first American muihile~NODE-l of 14 tonns would be injected by the "Space Shuttle11 SV and then integrated with the EFGB.
