Russia's long-term involvement in the ISS looked in doubt last year but NASA has confirmed cosmonauts will continue to visit the orbital outpost through 2028.
The International Space Station looked for a while like it was about to become a little less international when the Russian space agency chief suggested last year that his country would stop sending cosmonauts to the orbital outpost “after 2024.”
The agreement means that, barring any major setback, the ISS will host crews until its decommissioning process, which is currently set for 2031. Nelson told Reuters that while “we are completely at odds with President Putin’s aggression” in Ukraine, the collaboration aboard the space station “continues in a very professional manner between astronauts and cosmonauts without a hitch. And I expect that to continue all the way through the end of the decade when they we will then de-orbit the space station.”
