Three Russian cosmonauts are on their way to the International Space Station on Friday, March 18. If the future of the station seems preserved, collaborations between Russians and Europeans are in slow motion.
On the afternoon of Friday March 18, a rocket Soyuz took off from the cosmodrome of Baikonur (Kazakhstan)with three Russian cosmonauts on board. The Russian space agency had been threatening for several weeks to leave the International Space Station (ISS) crashing on Earth, but, with now five Russians on board, it seems unlikely. On March 30, the Russians will even bring an American astronaut back to Kazakhstan.
However, collaborations between Russians and Europeans have been slowing down since the start of the war in Ukraine. Rockets Soyuz Russians will thus no longer carry satellites for the Europeans since the base in Kourou, French Guiana. Europe responds: his rover ExoMarswho was to leave in six months for the red planet, will no longer travel aboard a Russian rocket, even if it means waiting four more years.
