Friction between the U.S. and Russia in connection with the events in Ukraine does not mean the end of the International Space Station (ISS), said administrator NASA, rejecting concerns that the world's most prestigious scientific project can become a victim of political differences. Charles Bolden made these statements in a week after Russia warned that may stop cooperating with the U.S. in this project after 2020. Although Japan, Europe and Canada as a project participant, after NASA closed space shuttle flight program, they have to rely on Russian shuttles "Union" to deliver astronauts to the space station. "The work of the ICC can not be terminated by a resolution of a single partner," - said Bolden in Berlin, where he participated in the annual air show. According to Bolden, NASA and the Russian Space Agency collaboration on ISS in recent years has not changed "one iota." The project survived, despite the cooling of relations between Washington and Moscow, which became part of the U.S. sanctions against Russia in connection with its operations nsso in Ukraine. But Bolden said, if for some reason one of the participating countries will come out of the project, while others continue to work. "Indispensable partner in the ISS is not" - he said. NASA hopes that private companies like Space X, will construct rockets and install devices nsso to deliver astronauts to the space station as early as 2017. Asked whether among the partners be China, which NASA is forbidden to cooperate to manned missions, Bolden said, "So nsso far I do not see anything that was supposed to be a change in our relationship."
