Ingcamango yalo mculi ibonisa iSitishi seSithuba saMazwe ngaMazwe xa ukulandelelana kwendibano kugqityiwe ngo-2004, kubandakanya utshintsho oluncinci kulungelelwaniso lwesitishi sokugqibela ekuvunyelwene ngaso ngamaqabane amazwe ngamazwe ngoMeyi ka-1998.I-NASA Kwinyanga ezayo, imodyuli enkulu ebizwa ngokuba yiPirs iya kugxothwa kwisiqingatha saseRussia seSitishi saMazwe ngaMazwe kwaye iwele kumhlaba ojikeleze umhlaba. Akukho sidingo sokukhathazeka malunga nesiqwenga sesinyithi esiwa esibhakabhakeni, nangona kunjalo, njengoko kubalwa kucetyiswa ukuba inkunkuma enkulu kufuneka itshise ngokupheleleyo ngaphambi kokuba yenze emhlabeni.
Okwangoku, iya kuba yimodyuli yokuqala ye-ISS eya kugxothwa ngokupheleleyo kwaye ilahlwe esithubeni. NgoLwesithathu, isibini sabahlali be-ISS, oosomajukujuku baseRussia u-Oleg Novitsky noPyotr Dubrov, baphume ngaphandle kwelebhu ye-orbital kwaye benza i-spacewalk yeeyure ezisixhenxe ukulungiselela ukukhutshwa kukaPirs.
Kuba Isibhakabhaka sendawo yeNASA 'Ingxelo, oosomajukujuku banqamle ikhonteyina evumela imodyuli yePirs ukuba ibaluleke kakhulu kwinkqubo yokusebenza ye-KURS. Baye basebenza kwimicimbi emincinci eyahlukeneyo, kubandakanya ukuqinisa iibholiti ezimbalwa, ukujonga ezinye iindawo zesikhululo sendawo, kunye nokusombulula umlawuli wokungaphumeleli kwamafutha kwimodyuli eyahlukileyo kwaye wayilahla.
Iipiriti zazisetyenziselwa njengezibuko lokumisa iziphekepheke phantse iminyaka engama-20. I-Russia ayijolisanga ngaphambili kuka-Julayi 17 ukukhupha imodyuli. Emva kokuba ihambile, imodyuli entsha ebizwa ngokuba yiNauka iya kusiwa kwi-ISS ukuxhasa uphando lwenzululwazi lwexesha elizayo.

I-Russia ibingumlingani ophambili kwi-International Space Station, izixhobo ezibhabhayo rhoqo kunye noosomajukujuku, ukusukela ngo-1998. Nangona kunjalo, ukuzibophelela kwayo ngoku kwi-ISS kuyaphela ngo-2024, emva koko iRussia iyeke ukuguga ISS ngokulungileyo kwaye wakhe isikhululo sendawo ngaphambi ko-2030.
Ngo-Epreli, I-Nkulumbuso yase-Russia u-Yuri Borisov wathi ngexesha lodliwanondlebe lwe-TV ukuba i-Russia ayonwabanga ngemeko yangoku ye-ISS. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa emva koko, intloko ye-Roscosmos, iarhente yesithuba sikarhulumente wase-Russia, uxelele oonondaba ukuba imodyuli yokuqala yesikhululo sasemajukujukwini saseRussia izakube isilungile ngo-2025. I-arhente kwathiwa ilinde ukuvunywa kokugqibela nguMongameli Vladimir Putin ukuze iqhubeke.
