Three Russian astronauts are scheduled to take off for the International Space Station (ISS) amid Russia's attack on Ukraine.
The astronauts, namely Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveyev, and Sergei Korsakov, plan to lift off in a Soyuz MS-21 spacecraft from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Also, it is the first time in years that an all-Russian crew will fly to the ISS.
The sanctions imposed on Russia on its attack on Ukraine has also put a heavy strain on space cooperation.
The Daily Sabah reports that Russia's space agency, Roscosmos has left the future of the station in doubt after its contract expires in 2024.
The U.S. space agency NASA is aiming for a term until 2030.
