Paris - Feb 12, 2003The European Space Agency (ESA) said on Tuesday it had struck a cooperation deal with Russia that should see Soyuz rockets launched from the ESA space command at Kourou, in the French south American territory of Guiana. The accord was signed Tuesday in Paris by Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov and ESA chief Antonio Rodota, replacing a 1990 cooperation agreement with what was then the Soviet Union. The deal aims to "open new doors for cooperation" covering the Soyuz rocket and space exploration with unmanned probes and, eventually, manned flights to the moon and to Mars. |
