After more than two decades of partnerships that led to innovative discoveries, scientific research, and collaboration, Russia had announced that they would leave the international space station after 2024. The newly appointed Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos, Head of Yuri Borismov to President Vladimir Putin , Roscosmos, Head of Yuri Borisov to President Vladimir Putin, President Putin, “The decision to leave the station after 2024 was made.\While the announcement was unexpected, it was indeed surprising for many people, who had hoped that two nuclear powers would continue to work together outside the earth, while they were involved in hot political chaos on the ground. However, resting in bonds, now seems to have exceeded the border between land and space.
Development has existed on the card since Putin announced the invasion of Ukraine and Russian troops lined up to Kyiv almost four months ago, in one of the most bloody battles in this new decade. What is endgame now?
Announcement by the Head of Roscosmos is being seen as his first action to please his boss in Kremlin, who has competed to end the relationship that is seen as a post-war symbol. Before serving, Borisov was responsible for the weapons industry.
Borisov replaces Dmitry Rogozin, another supporter of the Russian War in Ukraine and a vocal critic of his colleagues in the West. Rogozin has regularly provoked with his threat to Moscow walking out of the partnership to a certain extent where he even said that if the US did not lift sanctions, they could crash into space stations.
This announcement opened the way for Moscow’s long -term plans to launch his own station in orbit, increasing his domestic research in this sector. Russia has become a leader in the exploration of space until NASA landed the first man in the moon in what was one of the biggest developments that came out of the Cold War.
The news will be well received in Beijing, which built his own space station, Tiangong, and approached its solution at the end of this year. The latest developments are regulated to increase opportunities for Chinese national space administration to attract not only scientific research proposals but also investment.
China is on the list considering that there are already plans to go up to the issue of ISS at the end of this decade. Space Station, which has been more than three decades in manufacturing has become a center of deep space exploration and a symbol of cooperation between the West and Russia after the Cold War ends.
Moscow and Beijing have vibrated when they come to space exploration and both have plans to jointly develop a research basis on the moon. Both in June last year launched the Lunar International Research Station (ILRS) plan, which included building facilities both on the surface and in the moon orbit. While the engineer doubtful at the final location of the Bulan Bulan, the initial study placed the Amundsen crater at the South Pole as a potential site.
Russian withdrawal from space station will open a new door for private companies to enter the space station because the laboratory requires permanent presence and funds to defend itself. The private sector will not only bring new research but also the big dollar for NASA to continue to push it until 2030.
