Nauka includes a European robotic arm that ESA astronauts on the ISS, including Thomas Pesquet who is part of Crew-2, will help commission to support exterior scientific research and relocation of modules on the Russian segment.
Dmitry Rogozin ordered Russian cosmonauts to stop using the European robotic arm installed on the Nauka module of the International Space Station.
On 2022-07-12 Dmitry Rogozin planned to instruct cosmonauts on the ISS to stop using the European robotic arm on the Nauka module in retaliation for the European Space Agency terminating cooperation with Roscosmos on the ExoMars mission.
