Havana, December 27 (RHC/Juventud Rebelde)-- Cuba and Russia are planning the installation, commissioning and joint exploitation on the island of two earth stations devoted to the observation of the outer space.
The project comes under a collaboration agreement signed in Moscow in August, during the Second Working Meeting of the Russia-Cuba Group for Scientific, Technological and Environmental Cooperation.
Executives of the Cuban Institute of Geophysics and Astronomy explained that the implementation of the project might take five years or perhaps longer.
The earth stations will allow Cuba to monitor potentially dangerous objects in space, including meteorites and cosmic waste.
