It's an old (1990's) plan that's been reactivated in a scaled-down version - there's no provision for crew .....
Yes, you seem to be right Omah?
It seems this October's effort will be robotic after all !!
But it seems as if the spirit of co-operation between the Russians and
USA is coming to an end end as the Russians are now hinting they
they want to start their own Earth orbiter and gradually. abandon
