Summary
The International Space Station is as big as a football field. Its weight is about 500 tons. Russia has threatened to drop it anywhere. The Roscosmos chief has said that, we have the option of dropping it on India or China.
Russia is facing a variety of sanctions after attacking Ukraine. In such a situation, America has imposed some such sanctions on Russia, which can slow down the pace of its space programs. Meanwhile, Russia has once again threatened the world and the US in particular. Russia has said that, if it continues with such sanctions, it will drop the International Space Station (ISS) on Europe or the United States.
Actually, at present, many countries like America, Russia and Germany are working together on the ISS. Under this, four American, two Russian and one German astronauts are working together in microgravity. After the announcement of sanctions by the US, the statement of Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, has come to the fore. He has threatened America in a clear tone by tweeting. Rogozin wrote in the tweet, “If you stop cooperation with us, the ISS can fall uncontrollably anywhere.” Especially it can fall in Europe or America.
There is also an option to drop on India-China
Dmitry Rogozin wrote in his second tweet that, we also have the option of demolishing this 500 ton structure in India and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a possibility? The ISS does not fly over Russia. In such a situation, before banning you know what you have to do?
The size of the ISS is like a football field
The International Space Station is being established about 400 km above the Earth. The weight of this space station is about 500 tons and it is the size of a football field. In such a situation, if it falls anywhere uncontrollably, then there will be a huge devastation. At the same time, Russia, America and Germany are working together on this.
NASA came in front to convince Russia The statement of the US space agency NASA has come after Russia’s space agency threatened to shoot down the space station. NASA has said that the new sanctions will not jeopardize space cooperation between the two countries. There are no plans to change our shared space program.
Biden imposed many restrictions
