| ISS Russian Science and Power Platform | ||
The RSPP was originally going to be launched on six Russian Proton rockets fairly early during the ISS assembly phase. The Science and Power Platform would only power the Russian laboratory modules, so it was not crucial to the success of the whole ISS project. Further Russian cutbacks led to the RSPP being cancelled and replaced with one of the four American solar arrays. Typical orbit: 407 km circular orbit, 51.6 deg inclination.
