Russia has said it will no longer supply rocket engines used in launches by the United Launch Alliance joint venture.
he said through an interpreter that Russia “will closely monitor the actions of our American partners and, if they continue to be hostile, we will return to the question of the existence of the International Space Station.”That followed tweets last week asking whether the United States wanted to ruin the cooperation in operating the station.
“Why?” he asked. “Because it is impossible to manage the space station without us. We’re responsible for its navigation and fuel delivery.”. Earlier this week, Kathy Lueders, NASA’s associate administrator for space operations, said the two space agencies “are still talking together. We’re still doing training together. We’re still working together. Obviously, we understand the global situation and where it is, but as a joint team, these teams are operating together.
She added, “Obviously we need to continue to monitor the situation. … We’ve operated in these kinds of situations before and both sides always operated very professionally and understand the importance of this fantastic mission and continuing to have peaceful relations between the two countries in space.”
Later this month, NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei is scheduled to return from the space station with a pair of Russian cosmonauts on a Russian spacecraft. When asked about that flight, Lueders said NASA was still expecting Russia to fly Vande Hei home safely and that no changes had been made.
