《国际飞行》1991年7月24～30日报道,以色列同苏联签署了一项意向书,把一名以色列宇航员送往和平号空间站。这是以-苏将恢复外交关系的又一个迹象。 以色列宇航员的这次飞行费用将用贸易方式支付。10月2日进行的下一次国际飞行同1987年叙利亚宇航员飞行的方式一样,是合作商业飞行,这次将携带一名奥地利宇航员。 “International Flight” reported from July 24 to July 30, 1991, that Israel signed a letter of intent with the Soviet Union to send an Israeli astronaut to the Mir space station. This is another sign that Soviet Union will resume diplomatic relations. The cost of this flight for Israeli astronauts will be paid by trade. The next international flight to be conducted on 2 October, in the same manner as a Syrian astronaut flight in 1987, is a cooperative commercial flight that will carry an Austrian astronaut this time.
