STAR CITY, near Moscow. June 8 (Interfax-AVN) - A final agreement on the ExoMars project between Russia and the European Space Agency (ESA) could be signed no earlier than November 2012, ESA representative in Russia Rene Pischel told reporters on Friday.
He said work to prepare the agreement will continue.
But even though no final agreement has been signed yet, experts are developing equipment. "The equipment created for the Phobos-Grunt project will be partially used," Pischel said.
