【原文】
【Fri.】Despite the money put into the new center, work in Vostochny has been slowed by workers' protests over pay and the arrest of construction officials accused of corruption. For example, Maksim Surayev was a cosmonaut who is now a lawmaker. He criticized the low pay of workers at the cosmonaut training center near Moscow known as Star City.
【Mon.】In addition to budget and manufacturing problems, the Russian space program has seen some projects postponed. For instance, space agency officials had hoped to launch the Russian module for the I.S.S. in 2007. But the module has been delayed for many years. The launch is now planned for next year, but some reports say another delay is possible.

【Mon.】除了预算和制造的问题，俄罗斯太空计划已经推迟了一些项目。例如，宇航局官员曾经希望发射国际空间站的俄罗斯模块，但是该模块已经被推迟了多年。这项发射目前计划在明年进行，但是有报道称可能还会延迟。
