The newly appointed head of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, has caused uproar when Russia has decided to leave the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024. However, the explanation was vague. Although Roscosmos said after 2024, it did not specify when it plans to leave, only that Russia will focus on establishing an orbital base of its own after this process. In addition, the White House announced that Russia has not made any formal notification to the United States that it will leave the International Space Station (ISS) project after 2024, while NASA administrator Bill Nelson said that none of the partners on the ISS were notified of the agency’s decisions. told. So it was pretty messy.

“WE DON’T GET ANY SYMPTOMS”
“We’re not getting any indication that anything has changed at any study level,” Lueders told Reuters, adding that NASA’s relationship with Roscosmos continues “as usual”.
“WE MUST CONTINUE OPERATING THE ISS” EXPLANATION
Roscosmos published an interview with Vladimir Solovyov, flight director of the Russian division of the International Space Station, on its website on Wednesday. “Of course, we must continue to operate the International Space Station until we have a more or less tangible backlog for ROSS. We must take into account that if we stop manned flights for a few years, it will be very difficult to restore what has been achieved,” Solovyov said.
