Russia's space agency proposed the launch of a ship on February 24 to bring two Russian cosmonauts and an American astronaut back from the International Space Station, news agencies reported. A pressure loss in the Progress MS-21 space cargo ship delayed the launch of the Soyuz MS-23 ship to bring back the three who had been due to return on February 20. Roskosmos said the damaged module was sealed off from the rest of the station and there was no threat to the safety of the seven crew onboard. To read the original story from Reuters, click here.
