Dmitry Rogozin, head of Roscosmos, indicated that Russia would continue to participate on the International Space Station to at least 2024 and would provide partners one year’s notice before exiting the partnership.

Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina would fly on the Crew-5 mission launching in the first half of September 2022 under the planned crew swap.

The European Space Agency ended plans to cooperate with Roscosmos on the Luna-25 lander, the Luna-27 lander, and the Luna-26 orbiter.

Discussions with Roscosmos and other partners are ongoing to extend International Space Station operations from 2024 to 2030.

The goal is to have the seat exchange agreement in place to allow Russian cosmonaut Anna Kikina to fly on Crew-5 launching in September and a NASA astronaut to fly on Soyuz MS-22 launching in September.

ESA suspended its partnership with Roscosmos on the ExoMars rover mission after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is considering options that could delay ExoMars launch to at least 2026.

David Parker assessed that restoring the relationship with Roscosmos could make a 2024 launch feasible, while a more radical reconfiguration would lead to launches in 2026 or 2028.

The International Space Station was designed to be interdependent and cannot be operated by NASA or Roscosmos alone.

Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Rogozin offered to allocate Soyuz-2 rockets booked for OneWeb to private Russian space companies for launching domestic spacecraft.

Roscosmos added two modules to the International Space Station in 2021 and prepared to launch three cosmonauts to the station in mid-March 2022.

Roscosmos suspended cooperation with Europe on Soyuz launches from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on 2022-02-26.

ESA was collaborating with Roscosmos on the ExoMars mission, which was scheduled for launch in September 2022 on a Proton rocket and would deliver the Rosalind Franklin rover to Mars.

Dmitry Rogozin, head of the state space agency Roscosmos, decided to stop supplying rocket engines to U.S. companies.

Dmitry Rogozin decided to cut off the supply of RD-181 engines used in Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket, which is used to launch cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station.

Preparations for OneWeb’s scheduled 2022-03-04 launch from Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome were suspended after Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Rogozin conditioned the launch on guarantees that OneWeb satellites would not be used for military purposes and after the British government divested its stake in OneWeb.

NASA has previously paid as much as $86,000,000 per seat for Soyuz seats in direct contracts with Roscosmos.

Roscosmos demanded that OneWeb guarantee by 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on 2022-03-04 that its satellites will not be used for military purposes or the Soyuz-2.1b rocket would be removed from the pad.

Roscosmos required the British government to withdraw its stake in OneWeb as a condition for the 2022-03-05 launch.

Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Rogozin imposed conditions that the 2022-03-04 launch could proceed only if OneWeb guaranteed the satellites would not be used for military purposes and the U.K. government divested its stake in the company.

Roscosmos identified the 2022-03-04 Soyuz launch as the first commercial launch from Baikonur in 2022.
