The Russian Cabinet on Tuesday approved a nine-year government program to expand its space programs, backing the ongoing development of the new Clipper spacecraft as well as building Russia's segment of the international space station.
Read the rest here at CNN or here.
The plans include the building of the Russian portion of the International Space Station, the launch of a Martian probe (well, a martian moon probe for phobos), preparations for a manned mission to Mars (!) and funding and expansion of the Kliper program.
Interesting times indeed.
