Roscosmos

Roscosmos is the Russian Federation's state corporation for space activities. It is a key partner in the International Space Station (ISS) program. Recent news highlights Roscosmos's continued involvement in ISS operations, including the participation of cosmonauts in both outgoing and incoming crews. Specifically, cosmonauts Andrey Fedyaev recently launched to the ISS as part of SpaceX Crew-12, while Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky have returned to Earth after a 245-day mission. The ISS recently experienced a medical emergency, prompting the early return of another crew. Roscosmos's cosmonaut Oleg Platonov was part of the team whose mission was cut short. These events underscore Roscosmos's ongoing role in maintaining the ISS and its collaborative efforts with NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and other international partners in space exploration.
