     The Russian government has approved a plan to spend 435 billion rubles (12.5 billion Euros, US$15 billion dollars) on a new ten-year space programme, the Russian Space Agency announced on its website Friday.

    The new spending plan, which will run from 2006-2015, includes provisions for a new spacecraft Kliper, two new launching pads and the sending of a probe to one of two moons orbiting the planet Mars.

    Russia also intends to double the number of its satellites in orbit to 70 by 2015 for communication, weather and research purposes.

    In 2006, the Russian state plans to spend 23 billion rubles, an increase of 4.7 billion compared with this year.
