/tass/. The authorities of the Republic of Korea are considering the possibility of refusing to launch their satellites with the help of Russian launch vehicles in 2022. This was reported on Wednesday by the Yonhap agency with reference to a document from the Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technologies of the Republic of Korea.

The Government of the Republic of Korea planned to launch the Ariran-6 satellite on a Russian Angara-1 rocket.2" from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in 2022, as well as another satellite on board the Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome. However, the Ministry of Science submitted a document to the National Assembly, in which it stated about the increasing "difficulties" due to the sanctions of the "international community" against Moscow in connection with the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

According to Yonhap, the ministry plans to abandon contracts with the Russian side and look for new partners if the parliament approves this decision. The agency also indicated that it would need an additional budget. According to him, if new contracts are signed, about $61 million more will be needed. South Korea is likely to opt for the American company SpaceX or the European Space Agency, Yonhap writes.
