According to the CEO of Roscosmos, after the docking of the Berth, the completion of the formation of the Russian segment of the ISS is a fait accompli
KOROLEV /Moscow region/, November 26. /TASS/. NASA and Roscosmos have begun negotiations on the harmonization of technical standards not only for Crew Dragon to the Russian module, but for Russian ships to the American segment. This was announced by Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin at the Mission Control Center (MCC).
"NASA and Roscosmos have begun negotiations on the harmonization of technical standards that will allow such docking not only of Crew Dragon or Russian ships to American modules, but in general this kind of docking is possible, but a so-called adapter will be required," Rogozin said, answering the question whether American ships will be able to dock to the Berth node module.
According to the CEO of Roscosmos, after the docking of the Berth, the completion of the formation of the Russian segment of the ISS is a fait accompli.
The Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket with the ship and the module launched at 16:06 Moscow time on Wednesday, and on Friday the Berth docked to the Nauka module. The new module will expand the possibilities of docking with the ISS of Russian ships, including the new ship "Eagle". In total, five objects will be able to dock to it. For the first time, the Soyuz manned spacecraft is due to dock at the new node module on March 18 next year.
The module ship will also deliver about 700 kg of various cargoes to the ISS, including resource equipment and consumables, water treatment, medical control and sanitary-hygienic support, maintenance and repair equipment, as well as standard food rations for the crew of the 66th main expedition.
