MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 05th January, 2019) The planned visit of Dmitry Rogozin, the director general of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos, to the United States can be not just postponed but canceled, a source in the rocket and space industry told Sputnik on Saturday.
Late on Friday, the press secretary of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) told Sputnik that the visit, initially scheduled for February, would be postponed and a new date would be set later.
"Dmitry Rogozin's visit should have been, most importantly, a response to NASA head's visit to Russia. We hope that NASA will manage to settle all the political issues and the visit will eventually be held, as they have not canceled their invitation. But if NASA does not manage to do it, the visit will be just canceled," the source said.
Sputnik does not have any comment by Roscosmos press service yet.
