"Sergei Konstantinovich Krikalev will continue to work as executive director for manned space programs of the state corporation Roscosmos," RIA Novosti quoted a representative of the corporation's press service as saying.
It is noted that such a decision was made after his meeting with the general director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, taking into account the experience and competencies of Krikalev.
Earlier, Krikalev said that Russian experts continue to find out the reason for the formation of cracks in the Zvezda module on the International Space Station (ISS).
