Roskosmos has denied NASA's refusal to buy a seat on the Russian manned spacecraft Soyuz MS, which will be used in the spring of 2021 to send an American astronaut to the International Space Station (ISS). This is reported on the state corporation's Twitter account.
“This is not true. Roscosmos will soon consider proposals for the composition of the ISS crews preparing for flights on the Soyuz MS spacecraft in 2021. The composition of the crews will be international, ”the message says.
Earlier, it was reported about the refusal of NASA from the Russian “Soyuz” after 2020, with reference to the report of “Roscosmos” for 2019. “At the beginning of 2020, the American side announced its readiness to purchase services for the delivery of only one astronaut in the fall of 2020: conditions are currently being discussed, the modification project is being adjusted,” the document says.
