Indian Cosmonauts will not Fly in Russian Soyuz

:: 10.10.2010

Head of Roscosmos Human Spaceflight Directorate Alexey Krasnov told news media at Baikonur that India had given up their idea about flying two cosmonauts of this country in Russian Soyuz.
ISRO considered this approach as an intermediate step in the national human spaceflight program aimed at launching their cosmonauts in an Indian rocket in 2015.
Krasnov clarified that the Indians had been interested in a mission without docking to the International Space Station.
On the other hand, Krasnov noted, India is eager to maintain space cooperation with Russia, including human space missions, RIA Novosti informs.
