US SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA OVER UKRAINE INVASION WILL DEGRADE RUSSIAN SPACE PROGRAM,
BIDEN SAYS

Russia's space program will degrade under new U.S. sanctions, U.S. President Joe
Biden said today (Feb. 24). 



Russia invaded Ukraine this week, launching military attacks in multiple cities
that have so far killed at least 40 people, according to the Associated Press.
World leaders around the globe have responded to the conflict, and Biden
announced today that the U.S. will impose new sanctions in response.



"Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war, and now he and this country will
bear the consequences. Today, I'm authorizing additional strong sanctions and
new limitations on what can be exported to Russia," Biden said in a televised
public statement today.




"We estimate that we'll cut off more than half of Russia's high-tech imports.
That will strike a blow to their ability to continue to modernize their
military. It'll degrade their aerospace industry, including their space
program," he added.

These new sanctions, Biden noted, are part of an international response against
Russia's actions in Ukraine. 



"The United States is not doing this alone," he said. "We've been building a
coalition of partners representing well more than half the global economy, 27
members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as the
United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and many others to amplify
the joint impact of our response."

Yesterday, both NASA and Russia's space agency Roscosmos said that cooperation
in space will continue as normal. But since just yesterday, Russia has made
these attacks in Ukraine. 

"Russian militaries began a brutal assault on the people in Ukraine without
provocation, without justification," Biden said of the invasion. "Without
necessity, this is a premeditated attack."

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also spoke today about how projects between
the U.K. and Russia might be affected. 

"Hitherto, I have been broadly in favor of continuing artistic and scientific
collaboration, but in the current circumstances it's hard to see how even those
can continue as normal," Johnson told members of Parliament during a session
today.


RUSSIA'S RESPONSE

Seemingly in response to President Biden's statements earlier today, Dmitry
Rogozin, the director of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, took to Twitter,
sharing a long string of statements. 

"Do you want do destroy our cooperation on the ISS?" Rogozin tweeted in Russian
(translated with Twitter translate). 

"If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from uncontrolled
deorbiting and falling into the United States or Europe?" There is also the
option of dropping a 500-ton structure to India and China. Do you want to
threaten them with such a prospect? The ISS does not fly over Russia, so all the
risks are yours. Are you ready for them?" Rogozin added.


CONFLICTS AND CONSEQUENCES

Russia's space program, which Biden stated will be affected by these new
sanctions, has multiple new missions and technologies in development. 

The nation is building a new crew capsule called Orel, which is planned to
launch on Russia's new Angara rocket currently in testing and meant to launch
from a new pad at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia. Russia has stated that
this capsule is being designed to be capable of docking with Gateway, NASA's
planned outpost in orbit around the moon.

The precise impact of new sanctions to this and other upcoming projects in
Russia's space program remains unclear. Also in jeopardy are upcoming launches
that mark collaborations between Russia and countries opposing its activities in
Ukraine. 

For example, on April 6, the European Space Agency (which does not include
Ukraine) will launch two Galileo satellites on a Russian Soyuz vehicle from
French Guiana, held by France, a NATO member and EU nation. 

Additionally, private satellite company OneWeb, which is headquartered in London
with offices in the U.S., planned to launch a new crop of satellites aboard a
Soyuz rocket on March 4 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
