There are rumors that the head of Russia's space corporation may be fired.
According to reports posted to Telegram and spotted by Eric Berger, deputy prime minister Yury Borisov could be the new leader of the Russian Federation.
At this time, the reports are mostly speculative. Government sources have not commented on the matter.
There's a chance that Rogozin is a good candidate for turnover. He's a notable figure in Putin's inner circle, but he has a reputation for making provocative statements and threatening the US.
During the depths of the Cold War, there were very few provocations between the international space community. In the aftermath of the invasion, international partners distanced themselves from collaborating with the Russian space program.
NASA criticized Russia for spreading anti-Ukraine propaganda on the International Space Station.
Russia's space program is being cut off from the world, in large part, due to the actions of one person.
The Russian civil space industry has been damaged by rogozin's relationship with the Western space powers. Who knows whether he will bounce back from this?
It's hard to say what to make of the new reports as they're not the first.
The Moscow-based space reporter said that the rumors appeared twice a year. It will happen one day, but I'm not sure why we should believe it this time.
"I must admit that this time the rumors are very loud, and that a separate news source has corroborating information," he said.
She pointed to a report by Russian news site Meduza that said that a promotion could be on the way for him.
According to Meduza's sources close to the Kremlin, Rogozin could soon become the assistant to the president.
The two men got along well after meeting twice since the war began.
The leader who led the unprovoked invasion of a neighboring country is bound to be impressed.
One of Meduza's sources said that rogozin loves scandalous activity. The president likes this type of behavior and he plays on it.
The timing is unfortunate, with NASA still planning to go ahead with a planned astronauts seat swap that will allow a Russian to travel to the International Space Station.
Given Russia's inflammatory rhetoric, the future of collaboration on board the space station is more uncertain than ever.
Russia's space chief darkened his rhetoric as rumors swirled about his future.
Russia was forced to dodge space debris when it flew a satellite.
