THE Russian Space Agency says it will send an unmanned spacecraft to the moon in 2015 from a new launch pad in the country's Far East.
Roscosmos head Vladimir Popovkin said on Tuesday that a rocket booster would deliver a 500-kilogram space exploration vehicle with up to 25 kilograms of scientific equipment to search for water and take soil samples.
Popovkin said the moon-bound spacecraft would be launched from Russia's new Vostochny cosmodrome. President Vladimir Putin has vowed to invest US$1 billion in building this launch pad in the Amur Region, not far from the Chinese border. Russia's only previous moon mission was in 1973.
