Some of these workspaces feature athletic equipment that helps workers reduce stress or get their blood flowing (which is always important if you sit behind a desk all day). There are many different ways to make office design cater to its workers. For companies like Google, which require smart, innovative and in-demand workers, such offices offer a competitive edge when trying to attract young and intelligent employees. The US space agency has said having at least one Russian and one American aboard the space station is crucial to keeping the laboratory running.Not all workspaces were created equal – some can reduce workers’ morale while others can keep them happy and inspire them to be more energetic and creative. She has been training for the mission at NASA’s astronaut headquarters in Houston while the agreement was under negotiation. NASA and its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, reached an agreement to allow US and Russian astronauts to board each other’s respective rockets that will take them to the ISS. Kikina, an engineer and the only woman in Russia’s active cosmonaut corps, is set to be the first Russian to fly SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule. The two agencies had previously shared astronaut seats on the US shuttle and the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.Īfter the shuttle’s retirement in 2011, the US relied on Russia’s Soyuz for sending American astronauts to the space station until 2020, when SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule revived NASA’s human spaceflight capability and began routine ISS flights from Florida. The first integrated flights under the new agreement will come in September, NASA said, with US astronaut Frank Rubio launching to the space station from the Moscow-leased Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan alongside two cosmonauts, Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin. Anna Kikina will join two American astronauts and a Japanese astronaut aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon, which will take off from Kennedy Space Center in September.
NASA and Roscosmos, the two-decade-old space station’s core partners, have sought for years to renew routine integrated crewed flights as part of the agencies’ long-standing civil alliance, now one of the last links of cooperation between the United States and Russia as tensions flare over the war in Ukraine. The agency added that it will facilitate the “exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes.”
“The agreement is in the interests of Russia and the United States and will promote the development of cooperation within the framework of the ISS program,” Roscosmos said in a statement to Reuters over the weekend. Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin fired Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin, who had gotten into a Twitter spat with Musk in the days and weeks following the invasion of Ukraine. That means American astronauts will fly to the ISS aboard Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft. The US space agency recently signed an agreement with its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, to exchange flights to the ISS.
