Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin turned out to be a star on the opening day of the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), held in Dubai, SpaceNews reports .
The American edition called the head of the state corporation "the man who stole the show at the conference." The publication notes that instead of the allotted 5 minutes, the CEO spoke 20. "Rogozin attracted attention thanks to willpower, in particular, his ability to talk, talk and talk," the publication says.
SpaceNews notes that the head of the state corporation "spoke much longer than the other five agency heads in the group, who stuck to their allotted five minutes." "His comments were a mix of updates on recent events, such as filming on the International Space Station, and more inspiring visions of satellite groupings, reusable launch vehicles and a nuclear-powered mission to Jupiter," the newspaper writes.
The publication notes that Rogozin confirmed his confidence in the reliability of the American Crew Dragon spacecraft, but his meeting with NASA deputy administrator Pamela Melra was really important. "We continued to deepen relations," she said after a meeting with the head of Roscosmos.
In October, Rogozin showed on Twitter the assembled launch pad of the launch pad for the Angara family of rockets at the Vostochny cosmodrome.
