Alexei Krasnov, in charge of manned flights at Roscosmos, said the decision was made by participants at the International Astronautical Congress in Naples, Italy, this week. The two-person expedition - with crew members from Roscosmos and NASA - will be a first test, the result of which will determine whether all flights are extended to a year, he said. "The fundamental decision has been made, only the formalities remain to be negotiated. So far, we are talking about a single mission," Krasnov told RIA news agency. "If it proves effective, we will be able to discuss with partner countries a permanent transition from half-year flights to year-long flights."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
