Russia and the United States today agreed to cooperate on a NASA-led project to build the first lunar space station, part of a long-term project to explore deep space and send humans to Mars.

"The partners intend to develop international technical standards which will be used later, in particular to create a space station in lunar orbit," the Russian space agency said in a statement after the signing of an agreement at a conference in Adelaide.
