TASS special correspondent cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev said that the command of the International Space Station (ISS) was temporarily transferred to the American NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn, but in April it will be transferred to the representative of Russia.
As part of the ceremony, Russian crew member Anton Shkaplerov gave the American astronaut a symbolic key to the station, saying the following: “Tom, I know you, you are a professional and will be a professional commander of the ISS.”
At the end of April, before returning to Earth, Marshburn will hand over the key to the station to Artemiev, who on Tuesday already assumed responsibility for the Russian segment.
Roscosmos cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov, Pyotr Dubrov, Oleg Artemiev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov, NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hai, Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn and Kayla Barron, as well as European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer are currently on board the ISS.
