[FPSPACE] Lack of Russian world-wide space comm --impacton I SS ops?

[David Anderman]

To summarize the thread, the USOS can transmit to Earth via TDRS the 
following signals: Russian segment video, Soyuz and Progress video, and 
Russian Segment commands and telemetry.  What is problematic still is Soyuz 
and Progress telemetry (apart from video) and commands, leaving the 
requirement in place for dockings of Soyuz and Progress to be scheduled 
over Russian ground stations, unless an exception is made.

PS: In the future, all Russian signals may be transmitted via the USOS, but 
that may cost $$.
