So Much For Russian Engine Sanctions

Amendment may keep Iran-Russia sanctions bill from stopping ISS launches from Wallops, Daily Press

Senators voted overwhelmingly — 94 to 6 — to approve the amendment after several members, including Virginia’s Mark Warner, described the “unintentional harm” the original bill could inflict on “crucial science, civil and commercial space missions” that support NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research.”
