BAIKONUR – The launch of the Soyuz MS-07 manned spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to the International Space Station (ISS), scheduled for October, may be postponed until December, a Baikonur Cosmodrome source told Interfax.

“The launch may be rescheduled from October 26 to December 27, 2017,” he said.

The possible move has been prompted by changes in the spacecraft launch schedule, the source said.

“The launch may be postponed because the launch of the previous spaceship has been rescheduled from May 27 to July 28. Otherwise, the duration of the previous spaceship’s flight would be very short,” he said.
