As noted, in the fall of 2017 countries signed an agreement foreseeing the creation of a lunar station Lunar Orbital Platform — Gateway. The Russian side can create an airlock for the crew in open space.
“We are talking about what the EVAs from the Russian gateway proposed to conduct in the U.S. spacesuits,” said the source.
According to him, the United States insists on the manufacture of the airlock in accordance with American standards, which implies the use of new American spacesuits. According to the position of the American side, Russia is not involved in the creation of a lunar space suits, and keep at the station two different kits is not rational. Currently on the ISS using universal airlocks.
