“I suspect that if we get close to Nov. 16 and we haven’t flown a Soyuz yet, and by then we will have stepped down to three crew, we’ll probably de-man the ISS and go to unmanned operations,” Suffredini said. Russia is expected to present a recovery plan this week outlining tentative dates for launching the Soyuz rocket again. One scenario under consideration would see at least two Soyuz rockets with the RD-0110 third stage fly before the next manned launch.”
