I'm John Baxter with David Livingston, doctorate space of the space show. This is Hotel

Mars. We're talking about the future 10 years to 20 years, which is not very far away.

Anybody can remember 2013. So what low earth orbit Leo as David refers to it. What Leo

will look like in 10 years time. We begin with the plans of Russ Cosmos to create a new

station beginning in 2027, anticipating the retirement or de-orbiting or selling off

for or in some fashion wreak a decommissioning the original International Space Station.

And until you've heard David's imagination of the 10 years from now, how do you picture

low earth orbit in all of these competing claims, hotels, experimentation, of course,

then there's the military and there's always the Chinese entering into this. What do you

imagine a look like? Right. So for Russia and that what at least was declared right now

for the new station, one of the kind of central features which Russians want to implement

with this new space station is the so called high inclination orbit. So that means essentially

that unlike the space station of today, for example, International Space Station and

other stations which Chinese and other private companies are developing, which fly roughly

along not far from the equator, plane of the equator. Russians want to do put the station

kind of perpendicular. They want the station to fly from one from North Pole to South Pole.

So kind of if you look at the globe, the plane of the orbit will be vertical unlike the

horizontal plane which you look if you look normally at the globe, as we know it. So the

idea is is that the station will be heavily used for observation of the earth's surface.
