Roscosmos PAO: "Soyuz-ISS Photo Session Option is Reviewed by Russia".
Russian party is now in process reviewing the option of Soyuz TMA-20 fly-around of the ISS in order to get imagery of the station with the shuttle Endeavour and orbiting lab linked together.
“We are now in process evaluating risks and opportunity to perform the operation on the night of May 23-24”, official of the Russian rocket and space industry told news media.
May 24, Soyuz TMA-20 with the crew of commander Dmitry Kondratiev, Paolo Nespoli and Katherine Calleman is to return to the Earth. Prior to descent and reentry, the photo of the station may be made from the Soyuz.
The option is still unconfirmed, as many technical aspects are to be estimated before giving final ‘go’ for the operation.
