Roscosmos and NASA will discuss the issue of cross-flights of their cosmonauts and astronauts on Soyuz MS and Crew Dragon spacecraft, TASS reports, referring to the statement of the CEO of the Russian state corporation Dmitry Rogozin.

"From our point of view, SpaceX has gained enough experience to be able to send representatives of our crews on their ships," the manager said.

In September, NASA announced that the third and fourth missions to deliver people to the International Space Station (ISS) using the Crew Dragon spacecraft will send American, European and Japanese astronauts, as well as another unnamed crew member, into Earth orbit.

In April, Steve Yurchik, holding the position of acting head of NASA, in an interview with Spaceflight Now, did not rule out that the first flight of a Russian cosmonaut on the American spacecraft Crew Dragon and Starline would not take place before 2022. According to Yurchik, we are talking about the SpaceX Crew-4 mission, the launch of which will take place no earlier than the first quarter of 2022. The acting head of NASA noted that the draft version of the corresponding "implementation agreement" between NASA and Roscosmos is still under consideration by the US State Department.
