Russian Research Module

Russian Research Module

The Russian Research Module (RM) was to be a Russian component of the International Space Station (ISS) that provided facilities for Russian science experiments and research. The original designs of ISS featured two research modules, but Russian budget problems caused one of them along with the Universal Docking Module to be cancelled early in the program, leaving only one Research Module and the Multipurpose Laboratory Module. The Research Module was schedule to be built and launched in 2010 or later.

In 2007 it was decided that, due to the continuing budget problems, the last Research Module was to be cancelled as well. Its replacement, the Russian Mini-Research Module 1 (MRM1) will be launched in 2010 onboard the Space Shuttle by NASA.
