Rogozin estimated the cost of upgrading the "Union" for flights to the moon at $ 400 million

According to him, "Soyuz" was originally created "in the good old days as a ship for the exploration of the moon," reports RIA Novosti.

“He has the potential to enhance his thermal and radiation protection. If this is so, and this is so, then we are now considering the possibility of using this ship to fly around the moon, including as a commercial project, ”he added.

As Rogozin pointed out, the preliminary cost of the project may amount to "about $ 400 million."

Earlier in NASA stated that the Russian "Unions" may be useful as a backup transport system for the exploration of the moon.
