Russia intentionally destroyed its crippled space shuttle in order to return its cosmonauts to Earth. The Russian space agency is planning to dispatch a rescue ship on 24 February.
What is Roscosmos?
Russia’s space programme is overseen by Roscosmos, officially the Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities.
The rescue ship intends to bring three astronauts whose return vehicle had been damaged by a meteoroid back to Earth.
Simultaneously, Russia successfully brought down its space shuttle in a controlled manner over the Pacific Ocean over the weekend.
Key facts!
