He clarified that in the future it is possible to launch ships to the station from the territory of other countries, for example, from the European cosmodrome in French Guiana or from the USA and Japan, but not from the Russian Federation.
“In the case of Russia, there is one factor. Its territory is located at a very high latitude, and for docking with our station there is a requirement: the latitude of the launch pad should not be higher than 42 °,” Yan explained.
