Moscow (AFP) Sep 22, 2004 A new Russian-US team for the International Space Station (ISS) will take off from the Baikonur space station in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan on October 11, two days later than initially planned, due to a technical glitch in the spacecraft's docking system, Russian space officials said Wednesday. The three-person team will leave for the ISS aboard a Russian Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft, a spokesman for Russia's Federal Space Agency said. Spokesman Viacheslav Davidenko said repair work on the spacecraft had been completed but caused the delay. Russian cosmonaut Salijan Charipov and US astronaut Leroy Chiao are to replace the current crew, American Michael Finke and Russian Gennady Padalk, who have been orbiting aboard the ISS since April 21. The third team member, Russian Yuri Chargin, is to spend 10 days aboard the International Space Station. Related Links ISS at NASA SpaceDaily Search SpaceDaily Subscribe To SpaceDaily Express
