Postponed mission of Russia might leave International Space Station unoccupied

ISS or the International Space Station is an internationally constructed orbiting satellite that is use as a research laboratory which has microgravity environment by where crews conduct experiments I biology, human biology, physics, astronomy and meteorology. The ISS is expected to be operational in orbit until 2020 and can be extended to 2028. One of the countries that is actively visiting and doing some research in the ISS is Russia. The Russians are known to have success of various space travels and launching for many years. But following the crash of the Russian Cargo spacecraft a few days ago, Russia decided to postpone their next mission that was scheduled on September 22 to International Space Station. The Russian space Agency Roskosmos, hopes to complete the said mission by the end of October or by early of November, but if the said schedule of the next mission will be delayed again, this may leave the ISS to be unoccupied, and this would be the first time to happen for over the past ten days.

The reason why they are delaying the next mission is that because of the crash of the Cargo spacecraft because of the unknown causes and engine trouble, it the best thing to do to make series of test to the spacecraft to avoid happening that same incident to another craft. And make sure that the cause of the crash won’t be happening again. Although the International Space Station can be managed on earth with the used of some remotes on the earth base station but the operation would not be the same and it is not really that easy. However the delay would not be permanent so we just wish for the next mission to be scheduled soon and have its successful blast to the ISS.
