Russia's ISS program pushed back by half year due to spacecraft incidents - Roscosmos head

MOSCOW. Feb 21 (Interfax) - The Russian program on the International Space Station (ISS) has been pushed back by half a year because of incidents involving the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft in December and the Progress MS-21 resupply spacecraft in February, Roscosmos CEO Yury Borisov said.

"This has prompted us to push back our piloted program [...] we've been forced to send the Soyuz MS-23 without a crew. Our program has been shifted actually by half a year," Borisov said in an interview shown on the Rossiya-24 (VGTRK) TV channel on Tuesday.
