3-hour manned flights to ISS to begin in 18 months: Russia
Russian space agency Roscosmos' head Dmitry Rogozin said three-hour-long manned spaceflights to International Space Station (ISS) will begin in the next 18 months. Roscosmos had in July tested the three-hour route, which requires spacecrafts to orbit the Earth twice. Notably, Russia had previously reduced the travel time to ISS from 50 hours to six with a four-orbit route in 2013.
