Farnborough Airshow will take place without the Russian Space Agency – BBC News

Manual state corporation Roscosmos decided to refuse to participate in the largest Farnborough Air Show 2016. Last week, the companies were sent a letter signed by the Deputy Director General of the Russian Space Agency Sergey Savelyev of the decision of the State Corporation management does not take part in the show, according to “News”.

The paper noted that last year the British side has refused to allow Russian companies to participate in the exhibition of military equipment DSEI-2015. The reason for such action has been imposed by the UK government sanctions, as well as limiting cooperation in military-technical cooperation, which makes it impossible for the participation of relevant Russian organizations in any exhibitions in the United Kingdom.

This year, the Russian Space Agency waiting for a repetition of the situation, and the leadership of the state corporation had decided to participate in inappropriate Airshow. In addition to the Russian Federal Space Agency, to take part in the Farnborough-2016 Rosoboronexport refuses and possibly Rostec. The only Russian state, is planning to participate in the show, is still the United Aircraft Corporation.

As reported in the last two years, the delegation of the Russian Space Agency have problems with obtaining visas, not only in the UK. So, in July 2015 the visa could not get the members of its delegation traveling to Australia for a meeting of the working group of the International Committee of satellite navigation.
