Russia's Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center will finish assembling the new module for the International Space Station (ISS) in February 2016, the center's acting chief said Wednesday.
"We will finish equipping the module in February 2016. Then the module will be transferred to [Russian rocket and space corporation] RSC Energia for final adjustments. After that, it will be ready to be launched and subsequently integrated into the international space station," Andrey Kalinovsky said.
The launch of module Nauka ("Science" in Russian) initially planned for 2007, has been repeatedly delayed.
Nauka will perform a range of functions including life-support, steering the ISS with an attached motor and docking with cargo vessels.
The modules of the ISS are canister- or sphere-shaped areas of the station where the astronauts live and work.
Currently, the ISS comprises more than a dozen modules, including five Russian modules, according to NASA.

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL -- Astronauts on the International Space Station completed a spacewalk Sunday despite the appearance of water inside an astronaut's helmet, NASA reported.
In a tweet, the space agency said astronaut Terry Virts experienced water inside his helmet, just as he did Wednesday, but "it's a known issue; no concern."
The spacewalk lasted five hours and 38 minutes, NASA said.
"Crews have now spent a total of 1,171 hours and 29 minutes conducting space station assembly and maintenance during 187 spacewalks," the agency said in a release.
NASA previously said the suit worn by NASA astronaut Virts has a history of "sublimator water carryover." Water in the sublimator cooling component can condense when the suit is repressurized after a spacewalk, causing a small amount of water to push into the helmet, NASA said.
NASA said International Space Station managers had "a high degree of confidence" in the suit.
On the upcoming spacewalk, Virts and Barry Wilmore installed antennas to provide data to visiting vehicles and deploy 400 feet of cable along the edge of the station.
Virts said he first noticed traces of fluid and dampness in his helmet Wednesday while he was waiting for the crew lock cabin to repressurize.
He and Wilmore had been outside the space station for nearly seven hours working on the station's robotic arm and performing some maintenance.
Virts immediately alerted fellow astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti about the water, and she alerted Mission Control in Houston.

Orbital ATK, Inc. (NYSE: OA), a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, today announced a major milestone in a deep space science mission aimed at uncovering the mysteries of the solar system. NASA's Dawn spacecraft has arrived at and is now orbiting the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn, designed and built by Orbital ATK, accomplished this feat with the innovative use of solar electric ion propulsion, the world's most advanced and efficient space propulsion technology. Ceres, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is the largest unexplored world of the inner solar system. Dawn, now in its eighth year of a nearly nine-year-long mission, has already advanced human understanding of planetary formation by giant leaps with the data it has returned to date.
"Orbital ATK's flight-proven technology and extensive experience played key roles in integrating the ion propulsion system provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory," said Frank Culbertson, Orbital ATK Space Systems Group president. "This technology is revolutionizing solar system exploration and made Dawn's historic journey to two planetary bodies possible. We were committed to developing this spacecraft in an innovative way that was reliable and affordable. To see the Dawn flight system enter into this complex science phase fully functional is quite a testament to the design and workmanship."
Launched in September 2007, Dawn has been traveling toward Ceres since its September 2012 departure from Vesta, the second most massive object in the main asteroid belt and the first destination on this two-stop planetary mission. The spacecraft spent nearly 14 months orbiting and mapping Vesta, returning more than 30,000 images and other measurements about the protoplanet.
Since January, Dawn has returned increasingly sharper images of Ceres, showing a heavily cratered surface with multiple intriguing, bright features. Dawn's image quality now exceeds the best available from the ground-based W.M. Keck Observatory and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. In its lowest science orbit around Ceres, Dawn will return images more than 800 times the resolution of Hubble. The images will provide mission scientists with data to understand how Ceres evolved so differently from Vesta.
"This is the world's first chance to get an up close look at two bodies which date back to the formation of the solar system, but evolved very differently," said Mike Miller, Orbital ATK vice president, Science and Environmental Programs, Civil and Defense Division. "Ceres is thought to contain substantial water, perhaps up to 27 percent of its mass, a quantity roughly equivalent to the fresh water on Earth. It's expected to be mostly in the form of ice, but there may also be a liquid subsurface ocean. The Dawn detailed image and compositional data will help us understand this very exciting prospect."
Orbital ATK's Space Systems Group designed and built Dawn over the course of four-and-a-half years at the company's facilities in Dulles, Va. Measuring 65 feet in length and weighing nearly 2,700 pounds at launch, Dawn melded features of Orbital ATK's earth science and commercial communication spacecraft technology.
Dawn's mission is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

Packing for Mars by Mary Roach - and the trouble with NASA - Video
NASA astronomers and engineers breathed a sigh of relief Friday morning, as the Dawn spacecraft became the first Earthly vessel to achieve orbit around a dwarf planet.
Mission controllers at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., received confirmation from the craft at 5:36 Pacific time, NASA reported.
After a journey of 3.1 billion miles and 7.5 years, Dawn calls Ceres, home," Dawns chief engineer Marc Rayman said in a press release Friday morning.
The 3.1-billion-mile journey included a 14-month layover on the asteroid Vesta, the second largest object in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is the largest, not quite big enough to be considered a planet.
Astronomers are hoping that data gathered by Dawn from Ceres and Vesta will offer clues to understanding the conditions that existed in the region when the planets were forming some 4.56 billion years ago, the Monitors Pete Spotts reported Thursday.
These are two intact protoplanets from the very dawn of the solar system, JPL planetary scientist Carol Raymond said during a briefing Thursday as Dawn closed in on Ceress orbit. They are two fossils we can investigate to understand what was really going on at that time.
Ceres is believe to be 25 percent water ice. Researchers have speculated that the presence of that ice could suggest that the dwarf planet hosted liquid water early in its history, Mr. Spotts reported.
Dawn's measurements of surface features, especially the shapes and sized of the numerous craters that pock the surface, will provide an important test of this hypothesized blueprint for Ceres' structure.
The relatively high abundance of water ice researchers attribute to Ceres has raised the intriguing possibility that the dwarf planet briefly hosted liquid water in early its history, as radioactive decay from minerals in a rocky core heated the underside of the ice layer and melted it.
This could have provided a habitat for microbial life, notes Dr. Raymond.
