Nasa: no more launches for next 2 months

Washington, Usa - To carry out maintenance works

The Us space agency Nasa announced that none of the 4 shuttles (Atlantis, Columbia, Discovery and Endeavour) will take off for next two months. Nasa's decision has been taken after technical troubles at the refueling systems have been found on each spacecraft. Supplies for the astronauts on board the International Space Station Alpha will thus exclusively depend on Russian launches. (007)
