[i]Krasnov acknowledged that several days ago some problems really emerged at the stage of tests for a descent capsule in the altitude test chamber of the Energia Space Rocket Corporation (the pressurization limits were exceeded). But the problems are related to a service element, rather than the descent capsule, "The deformation of a service system was detected. The committee was formed and is investigating how seriously the malfunction was: whether it was a material defect or technologies. Probably, next week some decisions will be taken," Krasnov noted. Yet, Krasnov did not rule out that "the schedule of piloted missions will be revised," but he sees no tragedy in this. "There are program reserves to deal with the emerged problem," he underlined.[/i]
