MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's space chief says he has secured government funds to avoid mothballing the 60 billion pound International Space Station this year, but says the outpost's long-term future is still uncertain.

Russian Soyuz and Progress craft have become the only means of sending up cosmonauts and servicing the orbiting station since the U.S. space shuttle Colombia disintegrated in February, causing the U.S. shuttle fleet to be grounded indefinitely.

money.
