Russia and the United States continued to develop common standards for a manned space station

The head of the Roscosmos Department of Manned Cosmonautics, Sergei Krikalev, spoke at the XVIII Conference on Space Medicine about how important international cooperation in space is.

“When we started working with the Americans more closely, building up our competencies, it became better to move forward.” Every time difficulties arise on board, we are reminded of the need to create common standards. Work is moving in this direction. In particular, on docking stations.”
