New Delhi: The head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos has said that there is also the option of dropping a 500-tonne structure to India or China and the sanction by US have the potential to destroy our cooperation on the International Space Station (ISS).
“There is also the option of dropping a 500-tonne structure to India or China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect? The ISS does not fly over Russia, so all the risks are yours. Are you ready for them?” Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Rogozin’s said in a tweet.
The US President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sanction on Russio for launching an invasion on Ukraine.
The ISS is home to four American, two Russian and a German astronaut working side-by-side in microgravity.
