MOSCOW. June 30 (Interfax) - Roscosmos CEO Yury Borisov has said he invited the Algerian and Egyptian space agencies to join the construction of a Russian space station, up to building their national modules.
"I have proposed to them [Algeria and Egypt] that they participate in a Russian space station, and this would be full-fledged participation, too, up to building their national modules, rather than just cosmonaut training," Borisov said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
Roscosmos has also discussed the construction of multi-satellite constellations and launch services with certain African countries, he said.
"There's a keen interest in our proposals, and I hope our colleagues and we would be able to fill the space program of a forum to be held in St. Petersburg with tangible projects," Borisov said.
