MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russia’s Roscosmos state space corporation is able to work with any foreign countries on the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) project, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Bakanov said at a meeting with heads of diplomatic missions on Thursday.

"The legal framework here is structured in such a way that the United States, Japan, Canada, and the European Union are participating in the [ISS] project, besides Russia. I know that a number of colleagues from your countries have approached us about sending a cosmonaut into space, but we face certain legal obstacles. However, on the Russian orbital station, we will have no restrictions on working with any country," he said.
