Today (September 21st, 2022) the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, launched a crewed Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). This is the first crewed launch since the invasion of Ukraine. Earlier this March, NASA announced that they would halt their space relationship with Russia. Russia also said that they were taking a break from working with the ISS and NASA.
Russia is responsible for launching a third of the ISS life support systems and around half of the astronauts. So NASA, SpaceX, and Northtop Grumman had to make up this gap. In May, Russia came out saying that they would quit the ISS immediately and build a new space station. But later they delayed that and now claim they plan to leave the ISS in 2024.
In June, NASA and Roscosmos agreed that they would start working together again. For now, Russia will keep on ferrying up astronauts from Russian soil until late 2023. Then SpaceX and Boeing will be responsible for serving cargo and astronauts back up to the ISS.
As for Russia's space station, it is planned that it will start construction in 2026.
