The crisis between Ukraine and Russia caused Western countries and Russia to have major problems in space. Space agencies, which suspended bilateral relations in space, even faced each other in the work of the International Space Station.
Rumors have surfaced recently that Russia may “leave” the astronauts on the space station. But the Russian space agency (Roscosmos) has confirmed that it will not leave the American astronaut stranded on the International Space Station in space.
Will NASA astronaut return to Earth with Russia?
A Russian state media claim that soon went viral on social media snowballed as the Russians said they would abandon the International Space Station and would push the ISS out of orbit as Russia controls its propulsion.
As part of the video, Russian cosmonauts’ American astronaut Mark Vande Hei’ He appears to have said goodbye to the astronaut and left the American astronaut behind. However, it was learned that Vande Hei, who stayed in space for more than 300 days as a world record, would not be stranded on the ISS.
Even though the scheduled return trip for Vande Hei was approaching, people were starting to get worried. In fact, part of the video claimed that Russian space managers said, “Leave Vande Hei in space while everything goes on.”
Russia, on the other hand, says that it will never make such a mistake despite the tension in space studies. The statement from Roscosmos regarding the NASA astronaut is as follows:
“American astronaut Mark Vande Hei will return to Earth on March 30 with the Russian Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft, together with Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov. Roscosmos will never cast doubt on its credibility as a partner.”
Roscosmos President Dmitry Rogozin, known for his exaggerated threats including dropping the ISS to Europe or the USA, said that Russia will not leave Vande Hei on the ISS and that such reports He said they were “hysterical” fabrications.
The Russian space agency NASA seems to have filled the hearts with its decision for the astronaut. So what do you think? You can comment or express your thoughts on the SDN Forum.
