“Russia’s Security Council is reportedly considering a ban on supplying the US with powerful RD-180 rocket engines for military communications satellites as Russia focuses on building its own new space launch center, Vostochny, in the Far East.  A ban on the rockets supply to the US heavy booster, Atlas V, which delivers weighty military communications satellites and deep space exploration vehicles into orbit, could impact NASA’s space programs – not just military satellite launches. Previously, Moscow has not objected to the fact that America’s Atlas V boosters, rigged with Russian rocket engines,  deliver advanced space armament systems into orbit.”
