The relationship between the US and Russia aboard the International Space Station has not been affected by the military tensions between the two countries.
The working relationship between the US astronauts and Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station has not changed, according to NASA administrator Bill Nelson.
Questions about the state of US-Russian space cooperation have been raised since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The US has maintained its space diplomacy even after the European Space Agency indefinitely delayed its mission to explore the Red Planet.
Nelson called the country's anti-satellite tests "irresponsible and destabilizing" in November of last year.
His condemnation of the invasion of its neighbor by Russia appears to be the first time he has done so.
It's hard to say what will happen as Russia continues its onslaught, but given that American astronauts are stuck up on the International Space Station with their Russian counterparts, it could get awkward.
The NASA Astronaut talked about the Ukraine invasion with the cosmonauts.
Why hasn't NASA hired more black and brown astronauts?
