MOSCOW, December 27. /tass/. The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, questioned the likelihood of repeated tests to destroy space satellites, similar to those conducted by Russia earlier in 2021. He expressed this opinion in an interview with The New York Times.
"Will there be more similar trials? Rather no than yes," the publication quotes the words of the head of Roscosmos.
In November, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that tests were conducted, during which an inactive Russian spacecraft was successfully hit. The ministry stressed that they are carrying out planned activities to strengthen the defense capability. They recalled that the main goal of the new US space strategy is to "create a comprehensive military advantage" in this area.
The Defense Ministry added that the fragments formed after the defeat of the satellite do not pose a threat to the ISS and existing satellites, emphasizing that the fragments of the affected device are included in the main catalog of the domestic space control system and immediately taken for escort until their existence ceases.
