Roscosmos says the U.S. wants to “destroy” Russian-American relations in space.
Russia's space agency has been angered by the Pentagon's decision to ban cooperation with Russia in some of its space ventures. With ties strained between Moscow and Washington, the U.S. Department of Defense has said it will cease space launch and satellite cooperation with Russia by 2023.
The Pentagon said the prohibition was due to an “unacceptable cybersecurity risk.” Roscosmos, the Russian state space agency, condemned the move and said it undermined years of cooperation in space research between the countries. Russian Soyuz rockets often take NASA astronauts into space but the U.S. is now looking to private aerospace firms SpaceX and Boeing to develop its own carrier craft.
