Russia's space agency has postponed the launch of the next manned mission to the international space station by one week, to March 30. The launch, which had been scheduled for March 22, is to carry Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov, American Jeffery Williams and Brazilian Marcos Cesar Pontes.

Launch was postponed because problems were discovered with elements of the spacecraft's control system, and that parts would have to be replaced and fully tested.
