The ISS, along with Sea Launch, was one of the projects to keep ex-Soviet aerospace industries employed, so that they would not sell missile technologies to nations like Pakistan and North Korea. | |

The ISS itself is the culmination of decades of US-USSR cooperation beginning with Apollo-Soyuz. So even if Yeltsin had pulled out of any planned Russian involvement, the USSR had already committed years of formal and practical cooperation without which the ISS would not be possible. | |

| May 30, 2018 at 10:54 | comment | added | user54 | Formally speaking, the Soviet Union has brought nothing. The Union has been dissolved in 1991. Even the very first Shuttle-Mir (so called "phase one", where "phase two" would be the construction of the ISS) agreement was signed by B.Yeltsin (as the president of Russian Federation already) and G.Bush in 1992. | |

| May 29, 2018 at 16:08 | comment | added | geoffc | @Overmind To be fair ULA uses RD-180, Antares uses RD-191 (Half a RD-180, which itself is half a RD-170 from Zenit) and only Antares really does anything for the ISS (Cygnus booster). Though I guess 2 Cygnus's launched on Atlas V's so far... But the station assembly did not us Atlas at all. | |
