Yuri Borisov, head of Roscosmos, says Moscow will fulfil obligations to ISS partners before quitting project
Russia will opt out of the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting outpost, the country’s newly appointed space chief said on Tuesday.
Yuri Borisov, who was appointed earlier this month to lead the state-controlled space corporation Roscosmos, said during a meeting with Vladimir Putin that Russia would fulfil its obligations to its partners at the ISS before leaving the project.
