MOSCOW. May 18 (Interfax) - The Russian Federal Space Agency is concerned by the delay in the resumption of U.S. space shuttle flights to the International Space Station.
"We are seriously concerned about this. We have been waiting for a shuttle launch since February, and we surely hoped that it would fly in May," Roskosmos Director Anatoly Perminov told journalists in Moscow.
The shuttle launch was recently postponed to July.
"All Russian obligations on the ISS transportation services expire at the end of this year. It is necessary to make plans for 2006. All ISS partners should gather and discuss this," Perminov said.
