Russia to quit International Space Station after 2024
MOSCOW (AA) – Russia will leave the International Space Station (ISS) project in two years, the head of the Russian Space Corporation (Roscosmos) Yury Borisov has said.
After 2024, it was decided to leave the ISS, Borisov added. He, however, said Russia would continue to fulfill its obligations in the program.
During a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Borisov said his country continues its international cooperation as a part of the ISS.
He said Russia will build its own orbital station.
NASA administrator Bill Nelson in early July said he assumed cooperation between the US and Russia on the ISS will continue until 2030.
