China and Russia agreed to a deal on Wednesday committing the countries to cooperation in six space-related areas for the period 2018-2022.

The deal was one of around 20 agreements signed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in Beijing at the 22nd regular meeting between the heads of government of China and Russia.

A press release from Roscosmos space agency states that the cooperation between Russia and China in the field of space consists of six sectors, including lunar and deep space, joint spacecraft development, space electronics, Earth remote sensing data, and space debris monitoring.

The programme had been agreed between Igor Komarov, head of Roscosmos, and Tang Dengjie, administrator of the China National Space Agency (CNSA).

Both countries are developing new launch vehicles, including China's Long March 8 and super heavy-lift Long March 9, and Russian Angara rocket family, and each has Moon exploration programmes, CLEP and Luna-Glob.

Roscosmos public communications had not replied to a request for further information on the specifics at time of publishing.

No direct mention of Mars? Good! But doesn't mean they're not planning something.

Not good, Louis. The West needs the spur to get people moving, and even if it doesn't Chinese and Russian people on Mars is better than no people on Mars.
