Везение останется, но не такое очевидное. Неповезёт только тем кто на экваторе, ну там Куру, Морской старт, аборигены Полинезии и т.д.

А у нас оно станет примерно как Байконур к нынешнему наклонению. Может чуть получше.

Скорее похуже, но лучше чем сейчас Флорида. Если китайцы будут выводить свою станцию на наклонение с широтой космодрома, то у них тоже будут абсолютные преференции. Скорее всего к "быстрым" стыковкам первой перйдёт Поднебесная.

Для следующей станции сделают наклонение 65 градусов и везение кончится.

Пардон, я что-то пропустил? Это не ККС, да и ИМХО, ОБСЕК, "собирались делать" из РС МКС.

Уже принято решение, что следующая ДОС будет на наклонении 65 градусов?

Не волнуйтесь - здесь обсуждается только теория.

FARNBOROUGH: Boeing, Bigelow to build space station by 2015
By Gayle Putrich


Boeing and Bigelow Aerospace are teaming up to build a commercial space station system, with a 2015 target for a fully operational station in low Earth orbit (LEO), the companies announced on the first day of the show.

The aggressive schedule - with assembly in 2014 and testing to include an uncrewed trip to the station - is contingent upon the US Congress coming through with funding for NASA's proposed Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) Space Act Agreement programme this fall.

"We need the funding. The money that NASA has proposed closes the business case. Without that, we would have a difficult time," says Brewster Shaw, former astronaut and vice-president and general manager of Boeing's space exploration division.

The plan, crafted largely by Robert Bigelow, the US hotelier turned aerospace company owner, is to build a modular 690m3 (24,000ft3) space station in LEO, starting a second, larger station within years for the first. The first will consist of four modules, four habitats and one propulsion and docking unit.

Bigelow says he is already expanding his factory outside Las Vegas by 17,000m2 (185,000ft2) to mass-produce the modules.

The programme would also include ground, mission and recovery operations systems as well as launch vehicles and a capsule based on the commercial crew transportation system already in development by Bigelow and Boeing as an offshoot of the CCDev programme. The capsule will be compatible with Atlas V, Delta IV and Falcon 9 launch systems, Shaw says.

Renting time on the first station would cost sovereign and commercial customers about $95m for a year, plus a per-astronaut cost of $24.9m, Bigelow says - a relative bargain compared with NASA's cost of $56m to send each astronauts to the International Space Station.

Bigelow also says he has already secured permission from the US State Department to run the project without any International Traffic in Arms Regulations concerns. "It's not a transfer of technology," Bigelow says, likening commercial space travel to commercial air travel.

"We believe space commerce will be a reality," Shaw says.

The Obama Administration, in a departure from previous US space policy, has proposed more emphasis on commercial space, with companies taking on major research and development and creating new launch capabilities, leaving NASA to focus on planetary exploration. Funding, however, has yet to materialise, with many in Congress concerned that the commercialisation of space is too dangerous an undertaking to support at this time.

International Space Station Program (ISSP) managers at NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston held a two-day meeting this week to discuss the prospect of adding a Bigelow Aerospace inflatable module to the ISS. The Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) ran on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th January.

In-spite of their soft shell, Bigelow's inflatable modules are more resistant to Micro Meteoroid Orbital Debris (MMOD) strikes than current metallic-shelled l ISS modules, in part due to Bigelow's use of multiple layers of Vectran, a material which is twice as strong as Kevlar. In ground tests, MMOD objects that would penetrate ISS modules only penetrated half-way through the skin of Bigelow's modules.

The same proposal shows that an inflatable module would be attached to either the Port or Starboard CBM ports of Node 4. At this time, however, no berthing location has been decided for the Bigelow inflatable.

Research into inflatable technologies was listed number three under NASA's Flagship Technology Demonstration (FTD) program, and funding for such research was proposed in NASA's 22nd February 2010 budget proposal.

Bigelow Aerospace was founded by Robert Bigelow in 1998. The company is a pioneering world leader in the area of expandable space station modules.

Bigelow Aerospace, who make inflatable space hotel modules, are in talks with NASA to put an inflatable expansion module onto the International Space Station.


The Bigelow demonstration proposal has been received and is being evaluated, said NASA's Jason Crusan, chief technologist for space operations within the Space Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

If the green light is given, BEAM would be a sub-scale demonstration of the Bigelow Aerospace expandable technology.

First and foremost, use of the private module would be to meet the commercial demonstration needs that Bigelow as a company is looking to address, Crusan said. But at the same time, NASA has a general interest in expandable habitats and "soft-sided" modules, as well as gaining experience on how they perform in orbit.

"That performance data would also be valuable to NASA," Crusan added. The base plan is that crew would be going in and out of the module.

A secondary benefit of the BEAM demonstration on the ISS is that it provides logistics, stowage and experience in on-orbit operations of a non-rigid aluminum structure, Crusan said. "It's an exciting opportunity for both commercial and NASA to work together."

Так, поправьте меня если я неправ.
Получается, что сначала к АС должен стыковаться самоходом Node-4 а уже к Node-4 - Бигелоу?
