The reason for the combined crew, including both a Space Force Guardian and a Cosmonaut from Roscosmos in the rescue mission to retrieve the stranded astronauts is partly to preserve the shared responsibility relationship between the US and Russia aboard the International Space Station.
The experienced systems specialist, Gorbunov will help to ensure the safe continued operation of equipment aboard the space station while Hague, with over 200 hours in space will lead the rescue effort.
Although the other two astronauts who were a part of the original mission won’t be going to space, Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson will help to prepare for the launch.
