Oberg comments that the latest mishaps--booster failures, payload failures, control center-command errors and a nagging issue with solar panel deployment on two of the last four Soyuz missions--have reignited concern among Russians over unsolved, perhaps unsolvable, quality control deficiencies within the country's space program. Attempts to reverse the long post-USSR spaceflight retreat have borne little visible success. If anything, a host of new challenges, foremost among them lack of money, have exacerbated the problems. Because many aspects of Russia's domestic space program are tightly integrated into international projects such as the space station, those concerns affect other national space programs as well.
