Italy and the United States on Friday
signed a declaration of intent for exploration of the moon
linked to the Artemis programme.
The deal was signed in Rome by Cabinet Secretary Riccardo
Fraccaro in video link with NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.
Italy is the first European country to sign a bilateral
agreement of this kind with the US.
"See you on the moon," said Fraccaro.
"That would be fantastic," replied Bridenstine.
The Artemis programme aims to take humans back to the moon by
2024.
