First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manurov visited the Baikonur Cosmodrome, where he, Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Bakanov and Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jared Isaacman attended the launch of a rocket with a Soyuz MS-29 crewed transport spacecraft.
Before the launch, the First Deputy Prime Minister, the Roscosmos Director General and the NASA Administrator met with the crew, which comprises Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, and NASA astronaut Anil Menon.
Denis Manturov also had a working meeting with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, during which they discussed current and future fields of Russia-US space cooperation. In particular, they talked about the controlled deorbiting of the International Space Station. Under their joint programme, the ISS is to complete its mission in late 2030.
“We are ready to discuss future cooperation between our national space stations, paying special attention to mutual assistance in emergency situation. We also see potential for cooperation in lunar exploration, including the creation of docking mechanisms, establishing radio communication, and addressing the issues of satellite communication and navigation during future lunar missions. Another promising field of cooperation is space medicine and biology, in particular, joint experiments based on existing infrastructure and on future space stations,” Denis Manturov stated.
The First Deputy Prime Minister congratulated the joint spacecraft launch team on the successful launch.
“The crew will have eight months of hard work as part of the 75th long-term mission (Expedition 75), two spacewalks, dozens of scientific experiments, and the testing of new technologies. This mission rests on the foundation of your hard work here. The mission control centres in Korolev and Houston will monitor the flight, maintain communication with the crew, and control the operation of all spacecraft systems. This year, we marked the 65th anniversary of the first manned flight. The legendary Gagarin's Start (Site No. 1), which is located 30 kilometres away, remains the symbol of Baikonur and the continuity of the national manned space flights. The equipment, tasks and scale of the programme has changed over the past decades, but one thing remains unchanged – every space mission depends on your hard work on the Earth,” Denis Manturov emphasised.
