[en] European space chief "cannot see" a return to cooperation with Russia

[Internetado]

Half a year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the implications of
this war for the European space industry have been profound. Most
notably, Europe has severed all connections with the Russian launch
industry and canceled a joint mission to place a European rover on Mars
with the help of a Russian rocket and lander.

The process of unwinding the deep links between Europe's space program
and the Russian space industry have fallen largely on the shoulders of
an Austrian space researcher named Josef Aschbacher, who had been
director general of the European Space Agency for less than a year when
Russia's tanks began rolling into Ukraine.

Like most Europeans, he was aghast at what he saw. "Look at what is
happening on the ground," he said in an interview with Ars. "I'm really
disgusted by the invasion of Ukraine. We see it every single day. What
is happening there is not meeting our European values, and we cannot
work with a partner who is completely trampling on those values."
