Roscosmos has stated that there are no restrictions for other countries to grow

There will be no legal restrictions on cooperation with foreign states at the Russian Space Station (ROS). This was announced on November 12 by Dmitry Bakanov, head of the Roscosmos state corporation, at a meeting with heads of diplomatic missions in Moscow.

"We will have no restrictions on working with any country at the Russian Space Station," he said.

Bakanov noted that some countries had previously asked Russia to send their astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), but this was hampered by the legal specifics of the project. Unlike the ISS, the new Russian station will allow interaction with any state.

The head of the state corporation explained that in addition to the Russian Federation, the United States, Japan, Canada and European partners are participating in the ISS project. At the same time, he stressed that, despite the current sanctions, Roscosmos continues to cooperate with foreign countries, including the United States, within the framework of the station.

Bakanov announced on September 28 that artificial intelligence would be integrated into the operation of key ROS control systems. He noted that this will automate equipment management and data analysis, as well as reduce the burden on the crew and increase the safety of long-term space missions.

On October 22, Vladimir Solovyov, General Designer of RSC Energia, announced that the ROS would be controlled through a so-called satellite circuit using geostationary devices. He also clarified that this approach is fundamentally different from the ISS control system.
