And when is the European Robot Arm to be launched?
AFAIK, the European Robotic Arm would be launched on MLM (FGB-2) whose launch date slips by 12 months every year. Maybe it will go up in 2011/12, maybe not.

One question though. Would it be virtually impossible to replace the Unity Node? She's getting older now, and if we did choose to expand the station she better be in good working order.
Thanks, Dmitriy. When I cite NK, what issue or publication date should I use?
