Russia Offers to Build Spaceports for African, Other Friendly Countries, Space Agency Chief Says
14:22 22.11.2024 (Updated: 16:18 22.11.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia has offered some friendly countries the construction of spaceports on their territory, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos head Yury Borisov said on Friday.
The Roscosmos head added that these proposals are especially
relevant for countries that are close to the equator.
"Today, among the main partners, we can probably name countries such as India, China, Iran. We have big plans with South Africa, with a number of African countries, with Algeria, Zimbabwe, with Indonesia, with Malaysia," Borisov told Russian media.
Roscosmos has added the building of ground infrastructure for the launch of
carrier-rockets from the territory of friendly countries to its list of traditional services, Borisov said.
Until recently, and before the introduction of sanctions against Russia, around 70% of Roscosmos' exports went to "so-called unfriendly countries," he said.
Roscosmos' export policy is changing now, and active work is underway with African countries, as well as with countries in Southeast Asia, the official added.
