Russian authorities have arrested a senior space scientist in a case of suspected treason involving Moscow’s space program.

The case first came to light last week, when agents from Russia’s federal security services (FSB) raided offices in state space research centers on the suspicion that someone had leaked sensitive information to a NATO-allied nation, the Kommersant newspaper reported, citing anonymous sources.

The leak reportedly concerned a classified hypersonic technology project under development for Russia’s state space agency Roscosmos by the agency’s development center, TsNIIMash. Roscosmos has now confirmed that a man identified as a 74-year-old space scientist and veteran of the industry was officially in custody as the investigation continued.
