"While Russia does not provide cargo resupply to the ISS, their significant contributions include:
Crew Transportation: Russia's Soyuz spacecraft historically served as the primary means of transporting astronauts to and from the ISS. While commercial crew vehicles like SpaceX's Crew Dragon have become available, Soyuz remains an option.
Crucial Modules: Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, provided essential modules like the Zvezda Service Module (for life support, propulsion, and navigation) and the Zarya Functional Cargo Block (the first module of the ISS).
Resupply Flights: Russia utilizes its uncrewed Progress spacecraft to deliver cargo and supplies to the station.
Reasons why you might be hearing or reading otherwise:
Sanctions: Recent geopolitical events have strained the relationship between Russia and its international partners, leading to concerns about the future of ISS cooperation.
Focus on Other Providers: While Russia still participates in the ISS program, other commercial companies like SpaceX and Northrop Grumman are now significantly involved in supplying cargo to the station under NASA contracts.
Russia's Plans: Roscosmos has expressed intent to leave the ISS program after 2024 and focus on building its own orbital station.
In summary, Russia continues to be a vital partner in the ISS program by providing crew transport and contributing key modules, although commercial cargo resupply is now primarily handled by other entities"
I keep hearing tales about our crew literally dying in orbit if SpaceX does not bring them back but it looks like Russia still can send capsules to ISS to take astronauts home.
"While there have been previous statements about Russia potentially withdrawing from the ISS after 2024, more recent information suggests they plan to remain involved until 2028 or so. The ISS is expected to remain in operation until at least 2030"
