Dmitry Bakanov from Roscosmos met with NASA's acting chief Sean Duffy to discuss cooperation on the International Space Station and lunar programs. The meeting marked the first in over seven years amidst earlier tensions due to geopolitical issues. Although relations weakened after the 2022 Ukraine invasion, joint missions continue. Rusland's relationship with the U.S. faces challenges, particularly in broader lunar cooperation, while Roscosmos is turning toward collaboration with China on lunar missions. Both leaders pledged to work on maintaining the space station operational until the decade's end.
Dmitry Bakanov and Sean Duffy discussed further work on the International Space Station, cooperation on lunar programs, joint exploration of deep space, and ongoing space projects.
Despite geopolitical tensions, Bakanov praised Duffy for giving a green light for continued contacts and collaboration between Russia and the United States in space exploration.
