A plan for the first British-led mission to the Moon won the backing of an Anglo-American space committee on Friday.
The Joint Working Group on lunar exploration named the proposed unmanned MoonLITE launch as its primary mission for collaboration.
The 100-million-pound launch would fire three or four darts carrying measuring instruments into the surface of the moon from an orbiting satellite.
