The newest habitable module for the International Space Station (ISS), Nauka, has arrived at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for final preparations before launch. The module’s launch – which has been delayed for more than 13 years – will mark the resumption of Station expansion.
Nauka is currently scheduled to launch on a Proton-M rocket in April 2021 and will be attached to the ISS at the location where the Pirs Docking Compartment is currently located.
