Russian and European companies team up to build a new spacecraft
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.
