Anna Kikina may be Russia’s first cosmonaut on US Crew Dragon in 2022

Russian Aviaton » Friday December 10, 2021 20:48 MSK

The sole woman in the team of Russian cosmonauts, Anna Kikina, will go on her first space mission in 2022, and the odds are she may fly aboard the United States’ Crew Dragon, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin said. This reported by TASS.

"Our cosmonaut Anna Kikina will presumably go on a space mission in 2022. We believe that she may take a seat aboard the US spacecraft, while we in turn will put a US astronaut in space by our Soyuz under an exchange program," Rogozin said.

He hopes that Kikina will be successful as a goodwill ambassador, too.

"Our charming space lady will have the honor to inaugurate our space exchange flights program," he remarked.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
