Russia is trying to hack a German telescope into space
The Spektrum-Röntgen-Gamma (SRG) telescope was launched into space in 2019 as co-operation with Russia

After being banned from involvement in a collaborative project on the X-ray telescope with Germany in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia is now seeking to use the telescope without Germany's contribution.

The Spektrum-Röntgen-Gamma Space Observatory (SRG) launched in 2019 is an X-ray telescope created to observe distant galaxies and supermassive black holes. The Russian space agency Roscosmos collaborated with DLR, the German space agency on the project with the construction and launch of the Roscosmos spacecraft and the DLR of Germany's Max Planck Institute that designed the primary observation instrument eROSITA.

Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Germany put eROSITA in sleep mode, with "all scientific operations with the instrument currently banned". Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was unhappy with the move and has given orders to restore the telescope's operation without Germany's permission.

Sources told Ars Technica that Rogozin did so with Putin's approval.

In an interview on Russian TV, Rogozin said, according to Deutsche Welle: "Despite Germany's request to close one of the two telescopes in Spektr-RG, Russian specialists insist on continuing his work. Roscosmos will make the relevant decisions in the near future. "

He added that the people who made the decision to close the telescope "have no moral right to stop this search for humanity only from their pro-fascist views".

However, not everyone involved on the Russian side of the project agrees with Rogozin's actions, according to Deutsche Welle, because if Roscosmos manages to hijack the telescope, they may end up damaging delicate equipment inside it.
