India and the US are to conduct joint research experiments on the Moon. Under an accord between the countries' space agencies, India's first unmanned lunar mission will carry two scientific payloads from the US agency, Nasa.

Indian officials called the deal a "milestone". The Indian spacecraft is due to be launched in early 2008.

2. I wouldn't call this "outsourcing"

Any country that has nuclear weapons should also have some sort of space program going on.

5. How is this outsourcing?

Is it "outsourcing" any company or government agency works with a foreign company or agency?
