MOSCOW, January 27. /tass/. The only woman in the Roscosmos cosmonaut squad, Anna Kikina, said that she would like to fly into space not only on the American Crew Dragon ship, but also on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

"They [the Soyuz and Crew Dragon ships] are different, they are both interesting to me. But my native, for which I have been preparing for nine years, is the "Union". In any case, in my life I would like to make my flight on it. [Crew Dragon] is certainly interesting and causing some desires to try it and fly it too," Kikina said in an interview with Roscosmos TV.

The cosmonaut said that she had already completed the first ten-day training for a flight on an American ship. "I am now at a fork in the road, I immediately imagined myself as a skier whose legs are moving apart in different directions. I have one foot on the training with Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin as a backup crew [of the ISS-67 expedition], and the second one is already going under the Space Crew Dragon program," she added.

Kikina also told what she would take with her to the ISS. "I will take with me a good mood and a charge of cheerfulness for a cool job. And if we talk about physical things, of course, I will take photos of close people, some small things. It's hard to think about it, I'm not thinking about it at all right now. When the case comes to this, I will solve these issues," he said.

According to the cosmonaut, she would like to work more on technical tasks on the ISS. "Yes, no one has canceled the popularization activity, and in any case, it will definitely be on me. If they set a task, I will do it, I will do it with pleasure," she added.

Kikina also said that she does not have an Instagram page. "I feel great without it," the cosmonaut concluded.

Earlier, in an interview with The New York Times, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that the state corporation plans to carry out one cross-flight per year with NASA in 2022-2024. Earlier, he told reporters that cosmonaut Kikina could be the first to fly on the American Crew Dragon ship under the cross-flight program in 2022. In turn, Kikina noted that she was pleasantly surprised by this decision of the management.
