No preconditions are in place for termination of the contract between the Russia’s Khrunichev Space Center and Boeing on operation of the Zarya functional cargo module of the International Space Station (ISS), ISS Program Director of the Center Sergey Shaevich told TASS.
"Contacts with Boeing representatives are kept on a regular basis; no preconditions for termination of the contract are in place," Shaevich said.
The Zarya module is integrated with Russian and US segments of ISS, the Program Director said. "Any changes in cooperation between the Khrunichev Center and Boeing may take place only in case of the change in relations between Roscosmos and NASA on the International Space Station," Shaevich added.
