If NASA can work with Russia, why not China?<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the cooperation between NASA, Russia\u2019s space agency Roscosmos, and other international partners, humanity has had a continuous presence in low Earth orbit for over 20 years. While here on Earth, relations between Russia and pretty much everyone have deteriorated. The strong relationship between the two in space hasn\u2019t seemed to have fractioned operationally yet.<\/p>\n

So why not China? If we can still get along so well with Russia, why can\u2019t we with China? Well, there are two reasons, one is a sort of \u201cRed Scare 2.0,\u201d and the second (because of the first one) is legally NASA can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The Wolf Amendment was signed into law in 2011 and barred NASA from using funds to collaborate with China on any programs. This is why China cannot participate in programs like the International Space Station or Artemis. The Wolf Amendment has been added yearly to each new NASA appropriations bill since, and we don\u2019t expect that to change.<\/p>\n
