First launched in 1998, the station has been in operation for more than two decades.<\/p>\n<p>The station usually holds a crew of seven members, with three Russians, three Americans, and one Italian currently aboard.<\/p>\n<p>Robyn Gatens, the Director of the ISS Division at NASA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/russia-leave-international-space-station-project-2024-director-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Tuesday that she has not yet received an official notice from Roscosmos regarding the change, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/07\/26\/science\/russia-space-station.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> The New York Times on Tuesday that nothing has been shared officially regarding Russia\u2019s planned change regarding the ISS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is very recent news,\u201d he said, \u201cand so we haven\u2019t heard anything officially. Of course, you know, we were trained to do a mission up here, and that mission is one that requires the whole crew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The announcement follows months of concern that Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine would lead to changes in its space agency\u2019s international partnerships. Russia has increasingly isolated itself politically from the U.S. and Western European nations following sanctions over its actions in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s politics have already caused controversy aboard the ISS. Earlier this month, three Russian cosmonauts were shown in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/jul\/04\/russian-cosmonauts-display-flag-of-occupied-luhansk-region-on-iss-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photograph<\/a> aboard the space station with a flag from the Luhansk People\u2019s Republic. The region is one of the areas of Ukraine under invasion by Putin and largely under the control of a Russia-backed separatist group.<\/p>\n<p>Russia has also taken a financial hit since Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/04\/08\/1091661900\/spacex-space-station-launch-axiom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transporting astronauts<\/a> to the ISS. Roscosmos had previously earned millions of dollars per passenger on its Russian-made rockets.<\/p>\n<p>NASA\u2019s plans include operating the ISS through 2030. Those efforts may now require a change or revision without Russia\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<p>The report also comes just days after China <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/china-launches-first-of-two-remaining-modules-needed-to-complete-permanent-orbiting-space-station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched<\/a> Sunday the first of two remaining modules needed to complete its first permanent orbiting space station.<\/p>\n<p>When completed, the modules will become the T-shaped Tiangong Space Station. The station will be smaller than the International Space Station but large enough to hold six crew members for a temporary period.<\/p>\n<p>The first crew to board the new space station is expected to launch in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia will leave the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024, the nation\u2019s new space chief announced Tuesday.
