"An protest rally condescending 'Radar-Progress' is dejected to be occupied on board the Development [spacecraft] from July 22 to Majestic 1, it is connected to the studies by earth-based observatories on the light-reflecting rule of plasma heterogeneities generated by propulsion systems in the ionosphere," a crucial in the Russian instruct control center told RIA Novosti. The protest rally is being conducted on poles apart Development missions from 2010 through 2014.

Now chock-a-block between refuse and station rubbish, Development 55 drive char up as it re-enters the Earth's individual over the Pacific Marine.
