A delegation of Russia’s Roscosmos State Space Corporation has been invited to the launch of the Crew Dragon spacecraft that will carry a Russian cosmonaut to orbit, the agency’s chief Dmitry Bakanov said.
According to him, a meeting with Sean Duffy, US secretary of transportation and acting NASA director, is expected to take place during the Russian delegation’s visit to the United States.
“A Falcon rocket with the Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying two US astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut will be launched from Cape Canaveral. We have been invited to the launch, and we will hold a series of talks on the future cooperation between Roscosmos and NASA. <…> We also plan to meet with the new NASA head,” Bakanov told RBC TV in an interview.
