Russia is about to 'desert' ISS

An official of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roskomos) announced that the flight will return three astronauts on the International Space Station to take place in September.

AFP quoted Vitaly Davidov, deputy director of Roskomos, said the flight took place in September. 'Perhaps in the future, we will not need the continuous presence of people on the low orbit of the left. land ' , Davidov said.

Davydov's comments came after the Progress M-12M transport ship exploded on August 24 by a technical error in Soyuz boosters. It was launched to transport goods to ISS. The flights that bring people to ISS will not be possible until Russian experts find the cause of the accident.

Currently 6 astronauts are working on ISS. Yesterday Roskomos officials warned that the entire crew could return to earth.

Astronauts began working on ISS since 2000 and the countries involved in the ISS construction process wanted human presence to last until 2020. The transformation of ISS into a space-free station, including in Short time, always considered the last choice.

The US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) said the possibility of losing ISS will increase significantly without the presence of people on it. For example, any technical malfunction may cause ISS to stop working or get out of control because there are no people on it to repair or replace a broken device. However, Mr. Davydov dismissed NASA's judgment.

When designing the ISS from the time of the former Soviet Union, the monks appointed to create a no-man's space station to support space flights. Currently ISS continues to be built with the participation of the US, European Union, Russia, Japan and Canada.
