NEW YORK, August 25. /TASS/. The United States expects to continue cooperation with Russia on the International Space Station at least until 2030. This was stated by the head of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Bill Nelson, speaking at the 36th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. His speech was broadcast by the organizers of the conference.
