Russia and India are studying the possibility of joint basic research in the international space station Alpha, Russian Aerospace Agency director general Yuri Koptev told Interfax on Tuesday.

Joint research could be carried out in a Russian module of (ISS) Alpha, Koptev said. India has also showed interest in obtaining navigational data and remote sounding by using Russia's Global Navigational Satellite System (GLONASS), he said.

Issues in Russian-Indian cooperation in space exploration are expected to be raised in the course of President Vladimir Putin's visit to Delhi from October 2nd to 5th, Koptev said. On the other hand, no specific agreements in this field are to be signed, he said.

The two countries intend to set up a joint working group that "will consider various areas of cooperation in space," Koptev said. Furthermore, the Russian- Indian Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic and Technological Cooperation is to set up a subcommission on space exploration, he said.
