- Does anyone know the status of the Priroda and Spekter modules that have been
- slated as the next modules for attachment to Mir? Last I heard they were
- scheduled for launch in late 1992 or early 1993. I imagine that with the
- current economic crisis in Russia money allocated for Mir is tight. Perhaps
- they have been delayed due to the budget.
- Also, I thought an Israeli cosmonaut was supposed to be launched to Mir
- aboard Soyuz TM-16. However, Soyuz TM-16, launched a few days ago, only
- contained two Russians. Has the Israeli flight been cancelled or delayed?
