According to a memo sent to workers, NASA employees cannot travel to Russia or host visits until further notice.
They are also barred from emailing or holding teleconferences with their Russian counterparts.
In a statement late yesterday, however, the agency said it will continue to work with its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, to "maintain safe and continuous operation" of the ISS.
Since the retirement of the space shuttle, Russia's Soyuz spacecraft have been the sole means of transport to the ISS for the world's astronauts.
Also yesterday, the State Department said it had suspended “several” bilateral projects with Russia and will hand over funding for the initiatives to Ukraine.

U.S. President Barack Obama is to meet with congressional leaders of both parties today to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
The White House said yesterday that the meeting is to take place in the Oval Office this evening evening.
Vice President Joe Biden, House Speaker John Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are to attend.
Obama will also update the congressional leaders on his visit to Europe last week.
The four-country trip was dominated by efforts to coordinate the West's response to Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Congress has sent Obama a bill providing $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine and sanctioning Russia for its annexation of the Ukrainian region of Crimea.
