European Space Agency Suspends Mission of Mars Rover with Roscosmo
Due to the war against Ukraine, the European Space Agency has suspended the mission of Mars rover indefinitely with its partner Roscosmo, the Russian state space corporation.
The decision to suspend cooperation with Roscosmo was taken by the ESA Board of Directors at a meeting in Paris.
“We express our deep sorrow over the tragic consequences of the aggression against Ukraine and the loss of human life. "While acknowledging the impact of scientific space research, ESA fully supports the sanctions imposed on Russia,” the ESA said in a statement.
The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, called the decision "shameful" and said that Russia would continue the investigation independently.
It is noteworthy that the Russian Aviation Agency, in response to Western sanctions, suspended the supply of Russian missile engines to the United States.
“We do not consider it necessary to comment on such fabrications.”
