Russia and the United States have agreed to cooperate on a Nasa-led programme to build the first lunar space station, part of a long-term project to send humans to Mars.

俄羅斯和美國已同意合作興建首座月球太空站，這是載人上火星長期計畫的一部分，由美國國家航太總署（NASA）領導。

The project envisages building a crew-tended spaceport in lunar orbit that would serve as a "gateway to deep space and the lunar surface," Nasa has said.

美國國家航太總署表示，該計畫的設想是興建一座在月球軌道上的人類轉運港口，有如一座「通往深太空和月球表面的閘門」。

"Roscosmos and Nasa have already agreed on standards for a docking unit of the future station. Taking into account the country’s extensive experience in developing docking units, the station’s future elements will be created using Russian designs." the Russian agency said in a statement.

俄羅斯太空機構在一份聲明中表示：「俄羅斯聯邦太空總署和美國國家航太總署已同意將該座太空站的對接規格標準化。考量兩國發展（太空船和太空站的）對接規格經驗，該座（月球）太空站的零組件將由俄羅斯設計。」

Igor Komarov, Roscosmos’s general director, said no fewer than five countries were building their own rockets and systems. "To avoid future problems over technical cooperation, part of the standards should be unified."

俄羅斯聯邦太空總署署長伊戈爾．柯瑪洛夫指出，（全球）至少有五個創建自有火箭及系統的國家，「為了避免未來在科技合作上發生問題，部分標準應被統一。」

Space exploration – including joint work on the International Space Station（ISS）–is one of the few areas where international cooperation between Russia and the US has not been marred by tensions over Ukraine and Syria.

太空探索，包括國際太空站的聯合作業，是俄羅斯和美國少數未因烏克蘭與敘利亞緊張情勢而遭破壞的國際合作領域之一。
