Moscow,
As Russia understands war on Ukraine, the United States, Europe and many other countries are imposing sanctions on the country.
In response to these sanctions, the Russian space agency has already announced that it will suspend cooperation with Europe in space launches and stop supplying rocket engines to the United States. With a Russian rocket to carry a European-made rover to Mars later this year, space projects are currently on hold.
In this regard, the head of the Russian space agency Dmitry Rokosin said, “Very soon we will begin work on the implementation of the mission to Mars in the near future.
Just because Russia’s current landing gear designed to carry a European – made rover can do the necessary scientific work does not mean that the rover will necessarily be needed.
It would take the European space agency at least six years to operate alone without Russia, which had the rocket, launch pad and landing block. Thus he said.
