Dla Dmitrija Loskutowa z Roskosmosu Gwiezdna Brama wydaje się za bardzo zdominowana przez NASA.
Pytanie co Rosja chciałaby osiągnąć więcej , zwłaszcza w kontekście ograniczonych możliwości budżetowych.

“For the moment, it looks like it is an American program with international participation,” he said. “How will this cooperation be managed? Will there be some sort of international administrative body? Will its principles remain those that are now valid for the International Space Station, in terms of consensus in decision-making?”
Loskutov suggested that if the Gateway was run as a NASA-led program, Russia might not be interested in being a partner.

Bridenstine noted one challenge for international cooperation on the Gateway is that the station is smaller than the ISS. “That means having additional partners on the Gateway is maybe more difficult than having partners on the International Space Station,” he said. “However, since it’s an open architecture, we’re going to have the ability to have partners involved in ways they maybe couldn’t have been involved on the International Space Station.” (...)
