MOSCOW(Reuters) – Russia hopes the United States
will extend the deadline to retire its space shuttles beyond 2011 and has heard
unofficially it is possible, the head of Russia&s space agency was quoted
as saying on Friday.
The U.S. space
agency NASA(美国宇航局) plans six more missions by its fleet of aging
space shuttles by late next year or early 2011 after the construction of the
$100 billion International Space Station (ISS) is completed. The shuttles will
then be retired. But the head of Roscosmos, Russia&s space agency, said he
would prefer to see further shuttle missions to the Space Station, now in orbit
360 km (225 miles) above Earth. &From some sources we have learned that it is possible to extend the life of the shuttle beyond 2011,&
Roscosmos chief Anatoly Perminov was quoted by RIA news agency as saying.
Reuters was not invited to the briefing(简报会). &Then the
situation would change substantially and it would be possible to work jointly
with the Americans, unlike now, when the main burden (for the ISS) lies with
the Russian side,& Perminov was quoted as saying by Interfax. Perminov
said he had not been told this through official channels, Interfax news
agency reported. He added that NASA&s new chief and former astronaut
Charles Bolden would visit Russia&s Baikonur cosmodrome on September 30 in his first foreign trip.
NASA&s
future strategy is currently under review with the main focus on possible
flights to Mars. It is also encouraging a private space taxi project to the
ISS. NASA&s current plan, conceived under former President George Bush
after the Columbia accident, is to complete the space station, retire the
shuttles and build new spaceships. A new rocket and capsule to transport
astronauts to the ISS is also being developed but will not be operational until
about 2015. Until then, NASA will rely on Roscosmos and must pay $50 million
per seat for flights to the ISS by Soyuz capsules.
The U.S., Russian
and Chinese governments are the only entities currently capable of human
orbital space flight, although several U.S. companies are developing vehicles
and support services to do so.

&&&&&&&& A．NASA
agrees to extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2011.

&&&&&&&& B．Roscosmos
will have to build more spaceships

will have to quicken the development of the new rocket and capsule
