Chiefs of NASA, Russian Space Agency Pledge Swift Return to Soyuz Launches




While NASA and its Russian counterpart Roscosmos continue to investigate what went wrong during the launch of last week's crew on the International Space Station, the heads of both agencies expressed their confidence in Soyuz's ability to fly again soon.



	

	Yesterday (October 14), Bridenstine shared video clips on Twitter of a press conference held after the failed launch on Thursday. "I fully anticipate at this point that we will fly again on a Russian Soyuz rocket, and I have no reason to believe at this point that it will not be on the schedule." said in the clip.

		His counterpart, Dmitry Rogozin, of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, also showed no signs of retreating from his faith in the future of the Soyuz rocket. "This rocket has a long history of failure-free execution" He said in a clip shared by NASA.. As expected, he also expressed his gratitude for the safety mechanism of the crew capsule and both astronauts landed safely.

		Rogozin has also stated on Twitter that he was confident that Nick Hague and Alexey Ovchinin would fly again, and that he hoped to schedule that flight by the spring of 2019.

		Throughout the consequences of the launch failure, NASA has expressed confidence in Roscosmos and its operations, and there is no sign that it cancels the partnership based on concerns about the state of Russian space flight manufacturing. "I have a lot of confidence in this relationship," said Bridenstine. "I look forward to a very bright future for these two countries and for all our international partners."

		However, Bridenstine has been open about the difficulty of the situation as it has developed. In a public affairs interview last week, was excited discussing the time between the failure and when the safety of the astronauts was confirmed. "The NASA family has to be very proud of all the people who worked so hard and prepared so well for this," he said. "We had the right people in the right place."
