Russia to send 2 tourists to ISS by 2021 via Gagarin's route

Russian space agency Roscosmos has signed a contract with US firm Space Adventures to carry two 'non-professional' astronauts to the International Space Station before the end of 2021. The same route taken by Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, will be taken, Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin revealed. This is the first such contract after around 10 years, he added.
