Rogozin, during negotiations with the Soyuz MS-17 crew, congratulated them on the successful docking.
“Well done, that we flew so quickly.
What Russian does not like driving fast, as they say, "RIA Novosti quoted Rogozin.
In response, the captain of the crew, Sergei Ryzhikov, said that the ship was excellent and thanked those who took part in the development and approval of the use of the fast scheme "not only for the Russians, but also for our colleagues."
"So you don't see any obstacles to using the ultra-short circuit?"
- Rogozin asked the astronaut.
Ryzhikov replied that “the scheme is excellent, the crew feels good,” and called it the most optimal in the given conditions.
Earlier it was reported that the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft with three crew members flew to the ISS for the first time using a two-turn scheme, setting a record in flight speed to the station. It took a little over three hours.
