Head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin is explaining Roscosmos' role in the ExoMars mission and gives ideas about how Russia could now continue without ESA's participation: "I think we can make this mission happen with another partner like China or someone else."
He also elaborates on the existing and future cooperation with China by saying: "We work well with our Chinese friends. We have Glonass and the Chinese Beidou system that was built in orbit not long ago. They are compatible, very compatible. The second project which is interesting is the International Lunar Research Station. We have signed all the necessary documents with our Chinese friends. Regarding the Chinese Space Station, we can talk about new modules. To be friends in space, we must be friends on Earth. Russia and China are friends on Earth. I think Russia and China can work together in manned cosmonautics."
