The new challenge for space in Russia
Article Abstract:
The collapse of the former USSR was an immense setback to its space program, which was only second to the US. The Commonwealth of Independent States, which inherited the program, and Russia, which has instituted its own, face immense problems in terms of the economy and political stability. The only way by which the Russian space program can survive is by relying on international cooperative endeavors. However, existing US restrictions on technology transfer hinders Russia's efforts in this aspect.

International cooperation in lunar and space development: Japan's role
Article Abstract:
Although the US is the undisputed leader in space exploration and research, many industrialized nations have begun to develop their own space programs. Japanese space efforts have long been limited to the private sector, although the government has begun to allocate funding for research on how the moon and the planets in the solar system can be utilized. However, the Japanese government still lacks a concrete space policy and must rely on international cooperation to advance.
