NASA Administrator Bill Nelson released the following statement after an introductory call Friday with Roscosmos General Director Dmitry Rogozin:
I was pleased to speak with General Director Dimitry Rogozin this morning in a productive discussion about continued cooperation between NASA and Roscosmos.
For more than 20 years, NASA astronauts and Roscosmos cosmonauts have lived and worked together on the International Space Station a success story that has yielded countless discoveries and enabled research not possible on Earth for the benefit of humanity. NASA is committed to continuing that very effective ISS partnership.
I look forward to future discussions with General Director Rogozin and participating virtually with him at the upcoming Global Space Exploration Conference.
