Russia to quit International Space Station ‘after 2024’

Al Jazeera  

Roscosmos chief says space agency will focus on creating its own orbital outpost as it exits multilateral project. Russia has decided to quit the International Space Station after 2024 and focus on creating its own orbital outpost, according to the newly-appointed chief of the country’s space agency. Borisov, who was appointed by Putin earlier this month in a shake-up of the Russian space agency, said Russia would “begin to form” the proposed Russian Orbital Station as it exits the multilateral endeavour at a time of high tensions between Moscow and the West over the former’s invasion of Ukraine. Asked by reporters whether she wanted the US-Russia space relationship to end, Gatens replied: “No, absolutely not.” NASA, Roscosmos strike landmark deal Elizabeth Pearson, a space journalist, said there was uncertainty about the longer-term fate of the ISS in light of Russia’s announcement. Borisov’s remarks came after Roscosmos announced earlier this month that it had signed a landmark deal with US space agency NASA regarding integrated flights and crews on the ISS – a rare instance of cooperation between Moscow and Washington in recent years.
