project
MOSCOW. Oct 18 (Interfax) - Russia has called on the
United States and other space exploring countries to
share in the Kosmoport project in which the Energiya
launching complex in Baikonur would be used to send
flights to Mars and the Moon. 

"The construction of the Kosmoport will make it
possible to use launching vehicles in interplanetary
travel and exploration of the solar system's planets"
Vyacheslav Davidenko, press secretary of the Russian
Federal Space Agency, told Interfax on Monday. 

"The most important missions in the project will be a
manned flight to Mars and the construction of a lunar
space base," he said.
