Former Russian space agency chief injured in Ukraine shelling, completes surgery: report

State media reported that a former Russian space agency head is out of surgery.

According to the state media service, the former director-general of the space agency is "on the mend" after having an operation on his spine. The report was written in Russian and translated by the internet search engine.

There was a concussion and a stab wound above the right shoulder blade for the man. According to Russian-language reports on social media service Telegram, he was targeted after information was leaked about him having a party at a hotel.

The world community condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February and most space partnerships have been under attack since.

NASA maintains that there have been no changes to the operations of the International Space Station despite the dismissal of the controversial Russian. The space station has been forced to dodge debris numerous times because of Russia's anti-satellite test.

According to a report from the British Broadcasting Corporation (opens in new tab), Rogozin appears to be the leader of a volunteer unit that provides support to Russia's proxy forces.

The "Russia's proxy authorities" have been in control of the city since the annexation of part of Ukranian. At that time, Rogozin was placed under American sanctions and once suggested that NASA astronauts use a trampoline to get to the space station.

The space shuttle that retired in 2011 will be replaced by the Crew Dragon. NASA purchased seats on the Soyuz spaceship for astronauts to fly to the International Space Station.

Russia said this year it would withdraw from the coalition after 2024 to build its own space station, and this week, the Russian media said it would happen in 2028. NASA wants to extend the operations of the International Space Station until at least 2030.

Coincidentally, this month Russia and NASA are dealing with damage to a Soyuz that may make it impossible to send three astronauts home from the International Space Station. A Russian spacewalk was canceled due to the leaking of the Soyuz's coolant. The rescue craft won't be available until February, according to the officials.

A planned spacewalk by NASA astronauts was delayed as the complex was moved out of the way after an old Russian rocket stage came dangerously close to the International Space Station.
