The decision on the terms of the operation of the #ISS will be made by Roscosmos after March 31, said Dmitry Rogozin. At this date Roscosmos is waiting for the response from NASA, ESA and CSA on lifting the sanctions from TsNIIMash and RSC Progress, said Dmitry Rogozin yesterday. https://tass.ru/kosmos/14197357
In his Telegram channel the head of ⁦ @roscosmos⁩ press service said that tomorrow, on April 2, Dmitry Rogozin will make an official statement on the future of the cooperation on the #ISS. He also reposted a “comic video” about the separation of the Russian and American segments.
Dmitry Rogozin, regarding the cooperation on the #ISS: The sanctions will not be lifted. I consider this unacceptable. Specific proposals of Roscosmos on the time of the completion of cooperation within the ISS will be sent to the Russian government in the near future.
In response to the suspension of the cooperation on #ExoMars, Rogozin announced the suspension of the cooperation on #ERA manipulator on the #ISS. The problem is that Roscosmos will suffer from his decision more than ESA. How on Earth they will transfer radiator and airlock from Rassvet to Nauka without ERA?
Russia will fulfill its obligations to ISS partners and withdraw from the #ISS after 2024, said Yuri #Borisov in a report to Vladimir Putin. He noted that by this time Roscosmos will begin to create a Russian orbital station ROSS.
Yuri Borisov explained his position about Russia leaving the #ISS. He noticed that he he told to Putin, Russia will leave ISS "after 2024, not in 2024, that's a big difference".

An #ISS orbit correction was performed today at 07:16 UTC using the #ProgressMS20 engines in preparation for the arrival of Soyuz-MS22 and the departure of Soyuz MS-21. The altitude was increased for 0.53 km.
Roscosmos reported that today at 19:27 UTC an #ISS orbit correction maneuver was performed to avoid a piece of space junk. Th engines of #ProgressMS20 fired for 630.8 seconds, and the orbit altitude was increased for 1.75 km.
Last night, the #ISS performed another debris avoidance maneuver at 00:25 UTC using the #ProgressMS20 engines. The orbit altitude was increased for 880 m.
Today the Russian #ISS crew will relocate the radiator from the Rassvet to Nauka module. Anna Kikina will operate the #ERA manipulator, while Dmitry Petelin and Sergey Prokopiev will disconnect it, control the relocation from outside the station, and connect it to Nauka. #VKD56
The #ISS orbit correction maneuver was performed this morning at 04:20 UTC in preparation for the arrival of Soyuz MS-23 and departure of Soyuz MS-22. The #ProgressMS22 engines fired for 958,32 sec, the orbit altitude was increased for 3,2 km.
Let’s get back to real space news. According to Roscosmos press service, NASA and Roscosmos prepared a preliminary version of the document which regulates the deorbit of the #ISS. It considers different scenarios of the deorbit procedures, “in which the capabilities of both sides are involved” (sic!).
There’s a lot of space news today. The correction of the #ISS orbit was performed at 06:27 UTC today. The engines of Progress MS-22 fired for 770,2 sec increasing the station’s orbit for 2,1 km.

A debris avoidance maneuver was performed by the #ISS yesterday at 15:00 UTC using the #Zvezda module engines. They fired for 21.5 sec with an impulse of 0.3 m/s, and lowered the station’s orbit by 500 m.
Dmitry Petelin took a video of the engines’ burn.
Yuri Borisov, the head of Roscosmos, said at the conference at GCTC today, that Roscosmos will extend the operation of the #ISS as long as it is possible. Which means probably that he doesn't believe ROS will be build in the near future, even as a visited one-module station.
While we were watching the Starship 3rd integrated test flight, the #ISS performed an orbit correction maneuver in preparation for the #SoyuzMS25 arrival. At 13:11 UTC, Progress MS-26 fired its engines for 1096.7 seconds and increased the station’s orbit altitude for 2.8 km.
Today is the launch day! #Soyuz2.1a will launch the #SoyuzMS25 crewed spaceship with 🇷🇺Oleg Novitskiy, 🇺🇸Tracy Caldwell Dyson and 🇧🇾Marina Vasilevskaya to the @Space_Station at 13:21 UTC. At 16:40 UTC, they will arrive at the #ISS.
The crew reported they are ready for the flight.
An #ISS orbit correction was performed today at 09:51 UTC in preparation for the #SoyuzMS25 departure and #SoyuzMS26 arrival. The engines of #ProgressMS26 docked at the Zvezda module fired for 1233.3 seconds and increased the station’s altitude for 3.1 km.
An #ISS orbit correction was performed today at 01:46 UTC in preparation for the #SoyuzMS25 departure and #SoyuzMS26 arrival. The engines of #ProgressMS28 docked at the Zvezda module fired for 1075.42 seconds and increased the station’s altitude for 3.4 km.
#ISS orbit correction was performed on September 5 at 19:45 UTC in preparation for the #SoyuzMS25 departure and #SoyuzMS26 arrival. The engines of #ProgressMS28 fired for 781.98 seconds with an impuls of 1.42 m/s and increased the station’s altitude for 2.48 km up to 420.69 km.
