where is the ISS.

It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The International Space Station (ISS) is a modular space station (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit.

Russia has started preparing to leave the International Space Station (ISS) to build its own space station. Recently, the sourness of relations between Russia-US Ties is being considered as the reason behind this.

Russia starts preparing to leave ISS, know why it is doing so

Russia was associated with the International Space Station (ISS) since 1998. 

The International Space Station (ISS) is working longer than expected. But now it is becoming less likely to run more. Many parts of it are slowly becoming useless. But Russia has decided to break away from it and it will remain connected till 2025. With this, he has also started preparing to build his own space station. The reason for this is the change in Russia-US Ties some time ago.

Russia is the largest cooperative PARTNER in ISS

The International Space Station has been in operation since 1998 with the cooperation of 16 other countries including Russia and the United States and it has been the highest cooperation program between the US and Russia. But now that the relations between Russia and America have soured, Russia has decided to completely separate from the International Space Station.

Russia announced

For the past few years, especially after the US presidential election, relations between the two countries have deteriorated. Not only this, she has not been warm in relations with Russia's European agency before. The Russian space agency Roskosmos has recently announced that it has begun preparations to build its own space station. If all goes well, it has been placed in the Earth's orbit in the year 2030.

Sorrow in Russia-US relations

Russia-US relations soured recently when US President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin an 'assassin' in an interview. He even said that he would have to pay for it. Before this, Russia has also registered its objection to the Artemis Accord of America.

It Will be a big step

Russia's separation from the International Space Station will open a new chapter in Russian exploration in space research. Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roskosmos himself, has said that the orbiting of the Russian space station will be a major achievement and will be a major step in space research.

What will be special in the space station

The special thing about this Russian space station will be the use of artificial intelligence and robots and it will not be run by humans like ISS and humans will have a presence only as passengers. That is, there will not always be people in the station because too much radiation has to be encountered on the way to this orbit.

How much will Russia spend

Russia is going to invest 6 billion dollars in this project. Although foreign passengers will also get a chance to come in it, it will be a completely Russian space station. Space stations are placed in the lower orbit of the Earth 250 km above its surface. At present, the ISS is also in this situation.

In the last few years, competition in space is expected to increase rapidly due to the deterioration of relations with China and now Russia. China is already trying to separate itself a lot from the US in the race for supremacy. It is set to become the first country in the world to send a rover, lander, and orbiter to Mars. Apart from this, he is working fast on setting up his own International Space Station. Now Russia's separation from ISS may be a matter of concern.
