Russia on Wednesday offered to help the United States with deliveries to the International Space Station (ISS) after an unmanned American supply rocket exploded on lift-off.
"If a request is made for the urgent delivery of any American supplies to the ISS with the help of our vessels then we will satisfy the request," Russian space agency official Alexei Krasnov told state-run RIA Novosti news agency, adding that NASA had not yet asked for assistance.
