RUSSIA IS LEAVING THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

  • 26/07/2022

Russia has stated that it will leave the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 and build its own station in its place.

Yuri Borisov, the new head of Russia's space agency, stated that Roskosmos would fulfil all of its commitments until then.

Since 1998, the United States and Russia, together with other partners, have successfully collaborated on the International Space Station.

However, relations have deteriorated since Russia invaded Ukraine, and Russia has already threatened to abandon the project due to Western sanctions.

The International Space Station (ISS), a collaborative effort of five space agencies, has been in orbit around Earth since 1998 and has been used to conduct hundreds of scientific experiments.

It is permitted to run until 2024, but the US intended to prolong it for another six years through the pact.
