A copy of the Victory Banner has already been on board the International Space Station (ISS) since the end of March, the Roscosmos space agency stated.
"The Victory Banner is at the International Space Station. It was delivered on March 27 by the Soyuz TMA-16M manned spacecraft with crew consisting of the commander, Roscosmos cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, flight engineers Mikhail Korniyenko from Roscosmos and Scott Kelly from NASA," TASS cited the space agency as saying.
Yesterday it was reported that after the Progress M-27M cargo spacecraft separated from the carrier rocket, antennas of Progress’s docking system Kurs had failed to unfold.
