Russian Space Agency Says Will Change 2020 Launch Schedule Due to COVID-19 Outbreak

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian Space Agency Roscosmos will adapt its planned launch schedule for this coming year in light of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic that has caused the suspension of satellite production in Europe, the agency’s press service said on Friday.

The organisation stated earlier that there would be no delays in the return of the International Space Station (ISS) crew to Earth due to the coronavirus pandemic and the closure of borders between Russia and Kazakhstan.

Earlier in the year, it was reported that Roscosmos planned to conduct roughly 40 launches in 2020.
