Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, will no longer deliver Russian-made rocket engines to the United States, Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said on state television, ending a decades-long relationship between US and Russian rocket makers.
"Today we have made a decision to halt the deliveries of rocket engines produced by NPO Energomash to the United States," Rogozin said, according to the Russian news site Tass. "Let me remind you that these deliveries had been quite intensive somewhere since the mid-1990s," Rogozin said.
Tass reported that the ban will apply to RD-180 engines that power US-based United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Atlas V rockets.
