U.S. astronauts don't have to worry about this being their last mission to the International Space Station for a while.
“We do not expect the current Russia-Ukraine situation to have any impact on our civil space cooperation with Russia," NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said in a statement.

He added that the ISS program's success is based on the "mutual dependence" of everyone involved.

"As such, it is in the best interest of all ISS partners not to allow disruption of operations that have maintained continuous human presence on orbit for over a decade," he said.

He called the relationship between NASA and its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, "professional, beneficial, and collegial."
