NASA chief Bill Nelson, speaking on CNN, said that cooperation between Russia and the United States on the civilian space program remains strong and will not stop because of the events in Ukraine.
“Relations within the framework of the civil space program between cosmonauts and astronauts remain strong, extremely professional”– said the head of NASA. “We started them back with the Soviet Union, at the height of the Cold War”– he noted, recalling the Soviet-American experimental flight “Soyuz – Apollo”. “This marked the beginning of cooperation in civil [космической программе]which persists to this day and will not be terminated because of the war”Bill Nelson said.
At the same time, NASA has already reduced the staff in Russia and is considering various options for the further development of relations between the American and Russian space departments.
