Another week, another grandiose Russian space plan: Russia To Build an Orbital Construction Plant
Russia plans to build an orbital plant for the production of spacecraft (link to sketchy Google translation of the Russian original) that are too big to build planetside, or are just too bulky to fire into orbit once built…Plans seem to be rather sparse at the moment [no kidding?], with the tentative construction date set for 2020, after the ISS is scheduled for decommissioning.
