Russia Says It Will Quit International Space Station by 2024

Russia will opt out of the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting outpost, the country’s newly appointed space chief said on Tuesday (July 26).

Yuri Borisov, who was appointed earlier this month to lead the state-controlled space corporation Roscosmos, said during a meeting with Vladimir Putin that Russia would fulfill its obligations to its partners at the ISS before leaving the project.

“The decision to leave the station after 2024 has been made,” Borisov said.
