In a brief article posted by TASS on Nov. 1, Russian cosmonaut and Hero of the Russian Federation, Oleg Artemyev, told TASS that, “After the special military operation started… the Europeans stopped working with us… the Americans, on the contrary, occupied this niche [that particular segment of the joint ISS mission] immediately… The Europeans have completely shut down the joint experiments they were participating in. With time freed up, we can work on other experiments that the Americans have.”
According to Artemyev, cooperation with American astronauts continues on board the International Space Station (ISS), despite the tense political and strategic situation, and sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S. and other nations.
