MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia and Europe are teaming up to build a spaceship
which will fly astronauts to the moon, Russia said on Wednesday,
although the European Space Agency struck a more cautious note.
The first test flight is set for 2015 and the first manned flight is
planned for 2018, Russian space agency Roskosmos said.
"The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roskosmos both have the
technologies and unique experience in designing various space systems to
be able to create jointly a hi-tech vehicle," Roskosmos said on its
website (
www.roscosmos.ru).
"(This would) enable us to carry crews of up to six people to near-earth
and lunar orbits." Roskosmos said the craft would allow "expeditions to
the moon" but did not say whether landings were envisaged.
