Washington DC (Xinhua) July 28, 2006
Brazil has resumed talks with U.S. space agency NASA on its supply of parts for the International Space Station (ISS) project, the Brazilian Space Agency said in a statement.

The Brazilian Space Agency said it presented a proposal to NASA via teleconference on Friday to "simplify the equipment under Brazil's responsibility."

The terms of Brazil's cooperation will be finalized and announced in a meeting in the United States, the agency said, without giving a date.

The South American country has been in charge of producing parts for the ISS since 1997, and the list of equipment Brazil must produce for the station has been revised several times. It recently ran into difficulties due to budget restraints.

Brazil's space program has suffered setbacks since 2003 when a rocket exploded at the Alcantara space center, killing at least 21 engineers and technicians.
