"Russian Space Chief Raises Concerns Over Expired ISS Equipment"

The head of Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, has warned that most Russian equipment on the International Space Station (ISS) is beyond its warranty, following a recent coolant leak. He stated that the ISS is approaching the end of its existence and that 80% of Russian equipment is beyond the warranty period. The Russian space program has faced setbacks, including the loss of Mars missions and a lunar probe, due to funding issues and corruption scandals. Despite these challenges, President Vladimir Putin has pledged to continue Russia's lunar program.
