Russia is suspending its space cooperation on the International Space Station (ISS) according to Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russian space agency Roscosmos.
Rogozin said
Rogozin said he sent a letter to NASA, the ESA, and the CSA demanding that they lift sanctions against a number of enterprises in the Russian rocket and space industry. Insider has not been able to independently verify the authenticity of the letter, which said: "The US continues to support international government space cooperation, especially those activities associated with operating the ISS with Russia, Canada, Europe, and Japan."
Per Rogozin's tweets, ESA's director-general Dr Josef Aschbacher said he would forward Rogozin's request to the ESA member states "as these matters fall under their responsibility."Lisa Campbell, CSA's president, gave Rogozin a response similar to NASA's, according to the screenshots. "I can assure you that Canada continues to support the ISS program, and is dedicated to its safe and successful operations.
