Russia's manned space programs have been increasingly dependent on the money other countries pay to have their astronauts on the Mir. NASA officials did not mention the payment issue at a news briefing Monday, but did express support for the Russian space agency's plans. "I believe that this is all an excellent plan," said Frank Culbertson, director of NASA's shuttle-Mir program.

At a top-level meeting Monday, Russian space officials worked to salvage the situation, reworking the schedule of activities on the station for the coming months.

That date reduces the length of the overlap between the two crews from 20 days to seven. The new crew arrives Aug. 7. The Spektr spacewalk is planned for as soon as possible after the old crew leaves, probably Aug. 18-20.

The second spacewalk will take place either later in the month or in early September. American astronaut Michael Foale will not take part in the spacewalk. Instead, he will remain in the Soyuz escape capsule during the operation to assist in case of evacuation. He will return to Earth as scheduled on a space shuttle in September.
