Rogozin: the decision on the duration of the operation of the ISS will depend on the situation in Russia

“For the time being, we will not rush to announce our position and will continue to work within the deadline set by the government – ​​until 2024.

The decision on the fate of the ISS will largely depend on the situation that will develop both in our country and around it, ”he said in an interview with TASS.

Rogozin added that if a decision is made to withdraw from the project, Moscow will warn partners for a year.

At the end of March, NASA announced progress in negotiations with Roscosmos to extend the operation of the ISS until 2030. 

Earlier, Rogozin said that colossal funds would be required to extend the operation of the ISS until 2030, otherwise the station would "fall apart."
