“One of the candidates is Andrei Borisenko,” he said.
Vlasov said that Russian astronauts will start flying on US ships after the United States convinces Russia of the safety of their ships. According to him, "while the statistics do not inspire confidence."
He noted that Russia considers it possible to fly Russian astronauts on American ships "only after the successful manned missions of each of the ships."
According to him, preliminary negotiations are underway on the manufacture of equipment for Russian cosmonauts.
In December, Borisenko appreciated the prospects of flying to the International Space Station in two hours.
