BEIJING, April 10
(Xinhuanet)-- Brazil's first astronaut's historic 10-day trip to the
International Space Station (ISS) was met with both praise and
criticism.
MOSCOW, April 9 (Xinhua) -- A Russian spaceship carrying
the outgoing crew of the International Space Station (ISS) and a Brazilian
astronaut landed in northern Kazakhstan early Sunday, hours after it undocked
with the station.
MOSCOW, April 9 (Xinhua) -- Pontes, a 43-year-old air force officer and Brazil's first astronaut who arrived at the station on April 1 along with a new ISS crew, carried a series of scientific experiments during his nine-day stay on the orbiting laboratory.
