Russia leaving ISS
The International Space Station (ISS) has been serving as an integrated research spacecraft for astronauts from around the world for more than two decades. However, this bond is not going to last long as Russia is leaving the ISS to focus on building and using its own space station.
Not just a research lab rather the ISS program started defining the relations between the enemy and allied countries. Russia, the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan jointly operate the space station.
But now world politics is putting the risk of working together there. With this in mind, Russia is working to unveil its own space station by 2025. And the country is withdrawing itself from the ISS program.
The country's space research firm Roscosmos has already begun working on the main module of their station. Russia lost control of the ISS after conducting missions on the SpaceX International Space Station last year. Vladimir Putin thinks the United States is also trying to build a military base on the space station and conduct operations there. It deems sending space forces to the ISS as a threat and risk for the station.
Earlier, Russia had built a modular space station, which had been in space for 15 years.
