CEO Dmitry Bakanov emphasized that Roscosmos continues to cooperate, including with the US, within the framework of the International Space Station
MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russia’s Roscosmos state space corporation is able to work with any foreign countries on the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) project, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Bakanov said at a meeting with heads of diplomatic missions on Thursday.
"The legal framework here is structured in such a way that the United States, Japan, Canada, and the European Union are participating in the [ISS] project, besides Russia. I know that a number of colleagues from your countries have approached us about sending a cosmonaut into space, but we face certain legal obstacles. However, on the Russian orbital station, we will have no restrictions on working with any country," he said.
At the same time, the head of Roscosmos emphasized that, despite all the sanctions, Roscosmos continues to cooperate, including with the US, within the framework of the International Space Station.
