This sounds like something from a sci-fi novel.
The only tangible new thing in production is the Angara heavy rocket that will replace Protons. It's an actual thing that exists and flies. There is also a new piloted ship (Eagle/Federation) in development tailored for Angara, but I don't expect to see it in serial production until late 2020s.
Beyond these two things, everything else is basically concept art.
