Russia has offered to supply a small nuclear power plant for a mission to Mars planned by Elon Musk, according to President Vladimir Putin's international cooperation envoy. The envoy stated that Russia has advanced technological capabilities that could be applicable to a Mars mission. This comes as Russia seeks to develop economic cooperation with the US, despite ongoing sanctions. Russia previously announced plans to start its own Mars mission after a joint project with the European Space Agency was suspended due to the war in Ukraine.
