Moscow, 17 February: A meeting of the space agency heads from the International Space Station (ISS) partner countries has been postponed until summer, a spokesman for the Russian Aviation and Space Agency, Sergey Gorbunov, has told ITAR-TASS. “Agency heads have not yet identified the agenda for talks on such a high level,” he said today.
In early February, Russian Aviation and Space Agency head Yuriy Koptev said at a meeting with European colleagues in Paris that the meeting would be held in Moscow in April, after Russia’s Soyuz TMA- 4 spacecraft takes the 9th permanent crew and a visiting Dutch astronaut to the ISS.
