Ride-share return from space station on Russian Soyuz still on track - NASA

2^min

A US astronaut is still slated to share a ride back from the International Space Station with two cosmonauts aboard their Soyuz capsule later this month, despite US-Russian antagonism over the war in Ukraine, NASA officials said on Monday.

Joel Montalbano, manager of NASA's International Space Station (ISS) program, also said US-Russian cooperation aboard the orbital research outpost, currently home to four Americans, two Russians, and one German from the European Space Agency, remained free of tension.

"We both need each other to operate the International Space Station," Montalbano told a news briefing on two upcoming ISS spacewalks by NASA crew members, the first of which was to begin on Tuesday.

The durability of longstanding US-Russian collaboration in space was called into question last month when Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, suggested US sanctions imposed against Moscow over the Ukraine crisis could "destroy" ISS teamwork and lead to the demise of the space station itself.
