I don't think the ISS does passover Russia, it's orbit is too far to the south. John K Clark    See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>

    Russia controls the part of the International Space Station that
    includes its engines used to adjust its orbit, Dmitry Rogozin,
    the head of Russia's space agency, made this threat about what
    would happen if the west does not cooperate with Russia's
    invasion of Ukraine.

    "/If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from an
    uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States or Europe?
    There is also the option of dropping a 500-ton structure to India
    and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect? The
    ISS does not fly over Russia, so all the risks are yours./"
