Washington DC (SPX) Nov 24, 2005 U.S. President George Bush has signed a bill passed by the U.S. Congress ending restrictions on NASA's use of Russian Soyuz spacecraft for flights to the International Space Station, the White House said Wednesday, RIA Novosti reports. The document allows the United States to pay Russian organizations for work conducted on or services provided for the ISS. The bill, which amends the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, allows NASA to cooperate with Russia on the ISS, including the possibility of using Soyuz craft to ferry American astronauts to the station. The act linked NASA-Russia cooperation on the ISS to the observance by Russia of the ban to deliver certain weapons and technologies to Iran.
