Tobi - 16/7/2007 11:16 AMBig surprise?? Maybe Vladimir Putin is going to take a ride....
Olaf - 2/9/2007 7:41 PMWhen the first Russian tourist will fly in spring 2009, and Putin will also not fly, like Perminow said, who will fly on the third seat in autumn 2008?
aquarius - 20/10/2007 11:21 AMThe deputy head of Roskosmos Aleksei Krasnov said that Vladimir Gruzdev will fly to the ISS in fall 2009.But after July 2009, when the ISS crew is expanded to 6 memebers, there´ll be no more short-term flights to the station. That means Gruzdev will fly as a member of the permanent ISS crew and spend at least 2 months in space (because Soyuz flights are planned for Sept. and Nov.2009).
Olaf - 20/10/2007 11:21 PMAnother solution may be, that Gruzdev will stay the normal 10 days on the ISS, and a professional cosmonaut will stay there for a longer time, may be 8 months.
