The Russian Space Agency Roscosmos will improve the costs for the International Space Station (ISS) project to be carried out, announced tonight the state agency for Space, collected by the TASS agency.
“Roscosmos plans to optimize the costs that will be spent on the operation of the ISS project,” the agency said after a meeting with its director Dimitri Rogozin.

The office recalls that Rogozin had previously indicated that the work on the ISS “was not effective in the current geopolitical situation.”and also that the ISS will need a large amount of funds so that it can extend its operations until 2030.
Rogozin announced a week ago that Roscosmos will not supply its engines to the US, for the Atlas-5 and Antares space rockets, in response to the sanctions that many Western countries, including the US, have imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

Who is Rogozin?
He is a controversial man. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this man has taken the path of threatening people who are against the regime on social networks.
He was deputy prime minister of his country and fits into the group of those people who believe that power is everything. He recently warned that he would let the International Space Station (ISS) leave orbit to fall in Europe or the United States, something that raised controversy. But he did not stay there.
He pointed out that he would leave an astronaut marooned on the orbital platform and not bring him back to earth.
The international media have reacted to these proposals. Surely the Russian has hit the nail on the head and has made everyone talk, fulfilling his objective.
“Rogozin doesn’t seem to care about the climate of international cooperation achieved over decades in space. At the end of February, he practically hinted that Western sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine, which affected its aerospace industry, could cause the fall of the ISS on the United States or Europe”, wrote ABC of Spain.
And I add: “Since the 500-ton laboratory does not fly over Russia, your country would be spared. Last Saturday, the head of Roscosmos returned to the fray with the same catastrophe: If the blockade continues, it could separate the Russian segment from the station. Without orbit correction, the ISS could fall out of orbit and be forced into a “splashdown or landing.”
“The populations of other countries, especially those led by the ‘dogs of war’.”
It is that his writings are not for less. It seems that he had marked the persecution and sentence of one to the people who do not agree or who criticize his thinking with messages like this.
“The populations of other countries, especially those led by the ‘dogs of war’ (Western countries) should think about the price of sanctions against Roscosmos,” he said.
. A few days earlier, the head of Roscosmos, a staunch supporter of Putin, announced that Russia would no longer supply the United States with engines for its Atlas and Antares rockets. “Send them into space on their broomsticks,” he commented.
With Scott Kelly, who is a space veteran, he has clashed on several occasions. Kelly has been one of the people who has not been silent. Commander of three different missions had the luxury of criticizing Rogozin, after he shared images of international flags torn from a Russian rocket.
“Dimon (short for Dimitri), without those flags and the badges they bring, your space program will be worth nothing,” Kelky said.. The reaction was almost immediate, he blocked it from his social networks.
The head of Roscosmos, who defends Putin’s actions and encourages the invasion of Ukraine, said that his country would stop giving the United States engines for its rockets, an announcement accompanied by this phrase: “Send them into space on their brooms.” .
