Marina Vasilevskaya said she had already got used to the ISS conditions, ‘which are good’. “I have started to implement the flight programme. The crew of the station is friendly. They welcomed Oleg Novitsky and me cordially, and are now providing assistance both in the routine matters and in conducting planned experiments. We feel their attention and kind attitude. The project has become possible thanks to the personal involvement of the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko. I feel the care and support of the Head of State all the time, and it helps me a lot in the space flight,” the cosmonaut noted.
