Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Oleg Platonov may be included in the crews of American Crew Dragon spacecraft as part of the cross-flight program to the International Space Station (ISS). This was announced by Maxim Kharlamov, Head of the Y. A. Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center (CTC).
We have another stage of preparation for the flight on Dragon currently being undertaken by Kirill Peskov. And in the future, for example, Oleg Platonov or Oleg Artemyev may be appointed.
Currently, Oleg Platonov is undergoing introductory training, but the final decision on his admission to the crew will be made by an interdepartmental commission. Kharlamov emphasized that various factors are taken into account when assigning cosmonauts to crews, including psychological interaction between team members.
Thus, the participation of Russian cosmonauts in flights on Crew Dragon could be an important step in the development of international cooperation in the field of space research.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Gagarin CTC is checking the operation of the Teledroid robot.
