NASA Chief Says Russia Caused ‘Misleading Headlines’ About ISS

Russia isn’t planning to withdraw from its partnership in the International Space Station despite recent rhetoric from the nation’s space agency, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson told a Senate hearing.

Over the weekend, Roscosmos director Dmitry Rogozin suggested that Russia had decided to quit the orbital laboratory -- which has hosted research crews continuously for more than 21 years -- due to Western sanctions on Russia from its invasion of Ukraine. He said that Russia would give its ISS partners a year’s notice of such a decision, according to Russian media reports.
