Russia has decided to leave the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 and will start building a Russian one by that time, said Yury Borisov, director general of Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos, on Tuesday.
据塔斯社报道,鲍里索夫当天在与俄总统普京会见时说,俄罗斯正在国际空间站国际合作的框架内工作,将履行对合作伙伴的所有义务,但在2024年后退出国际空间站项目的决定已经做出,届时将开始组建俄罗斯轨道服务站。这将成为俄国家航天公司在载人航天领域的主要优先事项。

"We will focus on creating a Russian orbital station. Nor will we forget about space research," he told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a working meeting.
As for the current international cooperation projects aboard the ISS, Roscosmos will certainly meet its obligations before partners, said Borisov, who was appointed the Roscosmos head earlier this month.
The future of the Russian manned space program should primarily hinge on a well-thought-out plan, he told Putin without disclosing details.
另据俄罗斯卫星通讯社26日报道,俄“能源”火箭航天集团总设计师索洛维约夫(Vladimir Solovyov)在接受媒体采访时说,俄罗斯轨道服务站建设不会早于2028年,计划分两个阶段进行。
The construction of a new Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS) will begin no earlier than 2028, Vladimir Solovyov, the general designer for Russian manned systems and the general designer of RSC Energia, said.
“We propose to build it in two stages. If the decision on its construction is made before the end of the year, then the first stage will begin in 2028,” Solovyov said in an interview with the Russian Space magazine.
CNN报道称,俄罗斯计划退出国际空间站,意味着与美国国家航空航天局(NASA)在轨长达数十年的合作即将结束。
Russia says it is planning to pull out of the International Space Station and end its decades-long partnership with NASA at the orbiting outpost, according to the newly appointed head of Russia's space agency.
美国国务院发言人:感到惊讶,令人遗憾
据路透社等外媒报道,对于俄罗斯决定2024年后退出国际空间站项目,美国国务院发言人普赖斯当地时间26日在记者会上回应称,美方对此感到惊讶,这是“令人遗憾的进展(unfortunate development)”。
普莱斯说,“鉴于在国际空间站开展的重要科学工作,以及我们两国的航天局多年来进行的有价值的专业合作,尤其是我们又重新达成了太空飞行合作协议,这是令人遗憾的进展”。
The U.S. State Department on Tuesday said it was taken by surprise by Russia’s announcement that it plans to pull out of the International Space Station and called it an “unfortunate development.”
“I understand that we were taken by surprise by the public statement that went out,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price told a regular news briefing.
“It’s an unfortunate development, given the critical scientific work performed at the ISS, the valuable professional collaboration our space agencies have had over the years, and especially in light of our renewed agreement on spaceflight cooperation,” Price said.
另据今日俄罗斯(RT)消息,当天,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)国际空间站项目主任罗宾·盖滕斯(Robyn Gatens)被问及是否希望结束美俄在太空领域的联系,她回答说:“不,绝对不会。”
Robyn Gatens, director of the ISS for NASA, when asked whether she wanted the US-Russia space relationship to end, she replied: "No, absolutely not."
盖滕斯表示:“他们(俄罗斯)是很好的合作伙伴,就像所有其他合作伙伴一样,我们希望确保空间站工作的伙伴关系能够持续到二十年代末。”
"They have been good partners, as all of our partners are, and we want to continue together, as a partnership, to continue operating space station through the decade."
国际空间站(ISS)始建于1998年,是以美国和俄罗斯为主,日本、加拿大、欧洲航天局成员国和巴西等总共16个国家联合参与的国际合作项目。国际空间站设计服役期限至2015年,但两次延长,分别至2020年和2024年,目前设备老化严重。
据新华社报道,今年4月,时任俄国家航天公司总裁罗戈津曾表示,俄方将根据国内和周边地区局势决定国际空间站的未来命运。俄罗斯暂时不急于表明立场,2024年以前俄罗斯将继续在国际空间站的工作,2024年后俄方与国外伙伴在国际空间站领域是否继续合作的建议已经呈报给总统普京和政府审阅。如果俄方决定退出国际空间站项目,将提前一年通知合作伙伴。
