Does anyone know the status of the Priroda and Spekter modules that have been
slated as the next modules for attachment to Mir?  Last I heard they were
scheduled for launch in late 1992 or early 1993.  I imagine that with the
current economic crisis in Russia money allocated for Mir is tight.  Perhaps
they have been delayed due to the budget.
   Also, I thought an Israeli cosmonaut was supposed to be launched to Mir
aboard Soyuz TM-16.  However, Soyuz TM-16, launched a few days ago, only
contained two Russians.  Has the Israeli flight been cancelled or delayed?
