Dmitry Rogozin, director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, told TASS and RIA Novosti agencies on Saturday (30): Russia will withdraw from the International Space Station (ISS). According to this BloombergThe departure of the Russians from the space laboratory after nearly 22 years is due to the sanctions imposed by the occupation of Ukraine.
Earlier this month, Rogozin threatened to end Russia’s mission to the ISS unless the United States, European Union and Canada lift sanctions against Russian aviation companies. Since this did not happen, “the decision has already been made”, the manager said, adding that partners will be notified “one year in advance” of the end of work on the ISS.
Flying with “American Broomsticks”
The Earth-orbiting space laboratory is one of the few places on the planet where some kind of coexistence between Russians and Americans is possible today, despite the tensions that have existed since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
As soon as economic sanctions by Western countries came into effect, Rogozin USA could be launched into space with ‘American broomsticks’. He was talking about American astronauts being transported to the ISS by the Russian Soyuz spacecraft after the space shuttles were decommissioned in 2011. They will now use private flights.
