NASA receives clearance for Russian Soyuz spacecraft
Ironically, USA is now purchasing spacecrafts from Russia for their missions
to space. The American space organization has just received approval this week
to purchase Russian Soyuz spacecraft. NASA requires this craft to transfer
astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station. President Bush
signed the Iran Nonproliferation Amendments Act of 2005 to make this possible.
NASA is struggling with problems on their aging space shuttle fleet and is
facing problems in delivering supplies to the International Space Station. NASA
Administrator Michael Griffin said that this approval is crucial for the space
agency as it helps to ensure the continuous presence of U.S. astronauts on the
International Space Station.
The original Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000 prohibited NASA from
purchasing additional hardware from Russia. USA also had an agreement with
Russia requiring Russia to provide 11 three-person Soyuz missions, each lasting
six months, for a total of 51/2 years. That agreement would expire in April
next year putting NASA in a complicated situation.
This latest event means that NASA now is permitted to purchase Soyuz
spacecraft through 2012. The space agency expects their next generation
spacecraft to be ready for space missions by then.
