Earlier, the United States authorities refused to issue a visa to cosmonaut Chub without explanation.
The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, expressed the hope that the refusal to issue a visa is a misunderstanding that Washington can still correct.
The gender director of the corporation also announced his intention to request NASA's position on the incident.
