   MOSCOW - Russia's space agency Roscosmos and the European Space Agency
   have decided to postpone the launch of a joint research mission to Mars
   until the fall of 2022 because of the situation around coronavirus in
   Europe, Roscosmos said on Thursday.

   "...The parties had to recognize that the final phase of ExoMars
   activities are compromised by the general aggravation of the
   epidemiological situation in European countries," the Russian agency
   said in a statement.
