NEW RUSSIAN LOW ORBIT SPACECRAFT ON THE WAY

Russian Spacecraft Mockup

According to BBC News, the Russian Space Agency is planning to develop two new models of spacecraft to be used in lunar and low Earth orbit missions. The two crafts would be able to dock to the International Space Station and are set to replace the current Russian dockable (I made that word up!) spacecraft, the Soyuz (It got namechecked in Y:The Last Man). The plan is to have these new craft completed and in use by the end of next decade. Seems like a long time, but with space travel, you want to take your time and do it right.
