dawn is the first module of the international space station, but initially russia was not supposed to take part in this project. the americans wanted to build their own space station with freedom freedom. well, the concept of freedom, he became a victim. eh, as they say. well , if so roughly speaking, the greed of the designers, because they wanted to do something, generally speaking, they are practically incredible, having no experience in creating a station from a set of various modules, when the american idea failed, they decided to use 25 years of russian experience in orbit from the side. it was a purely commercial deal, the americans have the money, we have the technology, but in fact it was a well-timed moment of prime minister chernomyrdin, us vice president city signed a joint statement of cooperation on the international space station in the early nineties in russia technology and experience could be purchased at a fair price. for the e russian cosmonautics, e, not the best times have come, constant lack of funding, constant secrets. in general, they significantly delayed ou
