While tensions between the U.S. and Russia remain at their highest levels in decades here on earth, the countries will continue to work as partners on the International Space Station for at least another five years.
Russia has agreed to continue participating in the ISS through at least 2028, NASA announced Thursday. That comes roughly a year after the head of Russia’s space program threatened to stop working with other countries on the station, as sanctions and other penalties for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine went into effect.
