UK tests Moon lander technology

British engineers are designing a Moon landing mission that would also test key technologies to take to Mars.

The MoonTwins concept would put two probes on the lunar surface - one at each pole - to do science experiments.

The work is being undertaken by the aerospace company Astrium at the request of the European Space Agency.
