"One chair will cost them - this is my expert assessment - at least $ 110-120 million. We will have a chair at least twice cheaper, then we maintain competitiveness," Rogozin quotes TASS.

According to him, NASA is still interested to fly on the "Unions", and the possibility of the American side buying additional seats for the period of testing Dragon 2 is currently being discussed.

Rogozin also said that NASA offered to fly mixed crews on both the Soyuz and Dragon.

“Roughly speaking, non-financial barter: exchange of a chair for a chair, regardless of how much this chair costs,” he said.

He noted that for the flights of Russian cosmonauts on the Dragon, a safety qualification of ships for Russian crews should be conducted.

On March 3, NASA called the docking of Dragon 2 with the ISS as the beginning of a new era of space flight.

Later, the ship undocked from the station and successfully splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean.
