Nasa and Roscosmos made the announcement of integrated flights shortly after the Russian space program leader was replaced
Rogozin also became embroiled in a social media spat earlier this year with Scott Kelly, a former Nasa astronaut and three-time space station commander.
Nasa, meanwhile, saw Rogozin’s hostility as a distraction, and it worked resolutely with other senior Roscosmos officials towards rebuilding the partnership that previously saw cosmonauts flying US rockets to the space station until the space shuttle fleet was retired in 2011. In its statement today, Roscosmos said that integrated flights were intended to enhance “the exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes”.
