According to the head of Roscosmos, the Keldysh Center is ready to send its specialists to the United States if the American side applies

MOSCOW, August 13. /TASS/. The Director General of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, confirmed his readiness to send Russian specialists to the United States to help American colleagues with solving the problems of the American Starliner ship.

"As far as the ISS support program is concerned, we confirm our readiness to provide expert support to our American colleagues," Rogozin wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to the head of Roscosmos, the Keldysh Center (the main scientific institute of the Russian rocket engine building) is ready to send its specialists to the United States to the Starliner development company in the event of an appeal from the American side.

On July 29, NASA announced the postponement of the Starliner launch scheduled for July 30 to the ISS. Then the transfer was associated with the unplanned activation of the engines of the Russian Nauka module after docking with the ISS. According to the new plans, the ship was supposed to launch on August 3, but a few hours before the launch, the company announced that they were considering postponing the launch to August 4.

Later, Boeing said that the launch of the Starliner to the ISS, scheduled for Wednesday, August 4, was postponed indefinitely due to the need for additional time to assess the readiness of the device.

On Tuesday, a source in the rocket and space industry told TASS that the flight of the American Starliner to the ISS was postponed due to problems with the valves of the low-thrust engines. According to the agency's interlocutor, there are currently no preliminary deadlines for when the ship will return to the launch pad.
