MOSCOW. June 21 (Interfax) - The Russian Federal Space Agency is considering a US proposal to participate in its Moon program.
"We have received an official invitation from NASA to join the Moon program and are now considering it," Federal Space Agency chief Anatoly Perminov told a news conference at the Interfax main office on Tuesday.
Perminov said the matter will be discussed in greater detail in autumn. Missions to other planets and the Moon "are only in NASA plans."
Such serious programs can be carried out only through international partnership, he said. "The safety and reliability of flights requires international cooperation," he said.
