Russia won't quit international speculation after 2024. Russia's announcement comes as the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine threatens to affect everything from European energy supplies to global food stops. Russia said Tuesday it won't withdraw from the International Space Station after 2024. Singling the end of a joint project that has served as a key symbol of post-code work cooperation with Washington. The move comes as Moscow and the West clash over the Kremlin's war in Ukraine and cast new doubt over the future of global collaboration in space. Russia has intimated that it sees its future as primarily a cooperative effort with the Chinese space program rather than NASA, its main partner of the last 25 years. The head of Russia's space agency Roskosmos told President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that the country would exit the ISS and focus on building its own space station, according to state media. The decision on withdrawal from the station after 2024 has been made. Newly appointed Roskosmos had Yuri Borisov said, according to the task news agency. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said Tuesday afternoon that the agency plans to continue operating the orbiting outpost through the end of the decade. Nelson said in a statement, NASA is committed to the safe operation of the International Space Station through 2030 and is coordinating with our partners. NASA has been made aware of decisions from any of the partners that we are continuing to build future capabilities to assure a major presence in low Earth orbit. Kathleen Lewis, a curator in the space history department, other Smith-Soonian institutions of National Air and Space Museum said that, does it mean they will no longer send cosmonauts or space ferries from other nations to the space station or will they truly detach and deorbid their components? She said, we really don't know what it means. The way Russia handles the withdrawal will have logistical consequences for NASA and its other partners. Including weather different space agencies or commercial providers step in to build the gaps. That's it for today. Thank you and see you in the next videos.
