ScienceExpert: Uniform orbit inclination for Russian, Indian and US stations could improve flight safety
A common orbital inclination for planned Russian, Indian and US space stations could enable flights and crew exchanges between them, improving crew safety, researcher Sergey Yazev said. Russian crewed spacecraft have used a 51.6-degree inclination since 1967; the Russian, Axiom and Bharatiya Antariksh stations are planned for that orbit by the mid-2030s.
