Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russian space agency Roscosmos, announced in a thread on Twitter<\/a> that the \u201crestoration of normal relations between partners\u201d on the ISS and other projects is only possible with the \u201ccomplete and unconditional lifting of illegal sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n In translated versions of his tweets, Rogozin says he appealed the sanctions in letters to NASA, the European Space Agency, as well as the Canadian Space Agency. Rogozin also posted images of what appears to be each country\u2019s response \u2014 the CSA confirmed the letter\u2019s authenticity to The Verge<\/em> but declined to comment any further. The Verge<\/em> also reached out to the ESA but didn\u2019t immediately hear back.<\/p>\n While NASA didn\u2019t directly confirm the letter\u2019s authenticity, the agency did acknowledge Rogozin\u2019s comments and maintains that the ISS is still operating with Roscosmos\u2019 input. \u201cNASA is aware of recent comments regarding the International Space Station. U.S. sanctions and export control measures continue to allow U.S.-Russia civil space cooperation on the space station,\u201d NASA Administrator Bill Nelson\u2019s statement reads. \u201cThe professional relationship between our international partners, astronauts and cosmonauts continues for the safety and mission of all on board the ISS.\u201d<\/p>\n \u0413\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u041d\u0410\u0421\u0410 \u0441\u0435\u043d\u0430\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u041d\u0435\u043b\u044c\u0441\u043e\u043d, \u0440\u0443\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c \u0415\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043e\u0441\u043c\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0430\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430 \u0419\u043e\u0437\u0435\u0444 \u0410\u0448\u0431\u0430\u0445\u0435\u0440 \u0438 \u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u041a\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043e\u0441\u043c\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0430\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430 \u041b\u0438\u0437\u0430 \u041a\u044d\u043c\u043f\u0431\u0435\u043b\u043b \u043e\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u043c\u043e\u0451 \u043a \u043d\u0438\u043c \u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u0441 \u0442\u0440\u0435\u0431\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435\u043c \u043e\u0442\u043c\u0435\u043d\u044b \u0441\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0446\u0438\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0432 \u0440\u044f\u0434\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043f\u0440\u0438\u044f\u0442\u0438\u0439 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0438\u0439\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0440\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043d\u043e-\u043a\u043e\u0441\u043c\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u043e\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0441\u043b\u0438. pic.twitter.com\/rnMYiK9wal<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \u0420\u041e\u0413\u041e\u0417\u0418\u041d (@Rogozin) April 2, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The CSA\u2019s letter has a similar response to Rogozin\u2019s request, stating, \u201cI can assure you that Canada continues to support the ISS program, and is dedicated to its safe and successful operations.\u201d Meanwhile, ESA head Josef Aschbacher replied by saying he\u2019ll pass on Rogozin\u2019s request to the agency\u2019s member states for assessment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe position of our partners is clear: the sanctions will not be lifted,\u201d Rogozin says. \u201cThe purpose of the sanctions is to kill the Russian economy, plunge our people into despair and hunger, and bring our country to its knees.\u201d Rogozin adds that Roscosmos will soon determine a date on when to halt Russia\u2019s involvement with the ISS, which will then be reported to Russian government officials.<\/p>\n Rogozin reacted strongly to the sanctions<\/a> imposed by President Joe Biden<\/a> in February, making an insinuation that the space station could come crashing down to Earth without Russia\u2019s involvement. As my colleague Loren Grush points out, Russia\u2019s withdrawal from the station has the potential to do real harm, as NASA relies on Russia to maintain the ISS\u2019s position and orientation in space.<\/p>\n Roscosmos has an agreement with NASA to cooperate on the ISS through 2024. Last year, the Biden administration announced plans to extend the ISS program until 2030, which Russia hasn\u2019t signed on with yet. NASA said Russia was \u201cmoving toward\u201d extending its cooperation<\/a>, but Rogozin\u2019s statements make this seem unlikely. Earlier this week, NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei safely returned to Earth<\/a> aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket with two cosmonauts. Prior to his arrival, there had been concerns about his return home amid Russia\u2019s ongoing war in Ukraine, but Roscosmos maintained that it would not strand Vande Hei<\/a> on the ISS.<\/p>\n
