10.08.2012 / 14:19 Roscosmos ESA offers strengthen cooperation on projects of Jupiter
Roscosmos invites the European Space Agency (ESA) to build on the close coordination of projects to study Jupiter system - "Laplace-P" and JUICE, said the head of the agency, Vladimir Popovkin, according to RIA Novosti.
"We say, 'Let's do one project, not European, and Russian." Here we have the ambitions softer. While we simply coordinate the two projects, there are a lot of technical problems "- Popovkin said.
Roskosmos head also said that the flight "Laplace" could take place in 2022.
One of the participants of the Russian side said RIA Novosti that at this stage of the Federal Space Agency and ESA coordinate their actions with regard to the exchange of information, but the mission has two separate projects.
According to the Russian side, it makes sense to better coordination at about the same level as in the case with the project "EkzoMars," said the official.
