1985年法国和苏联将联合访问哈雷彗星的消息刚发表,就惊动了法国天文学家,包括那些已经投入欧洲太空机构(ESA)工作的人。他们认为法国此举将是一大重复,ESA的官员证实,法国不可能把参加ESA的努力撤销,而这种参加对北约成员国都是属于强制性的。法国对苏联的太空计划,一直保持着一种特殊关系。已故总统戴高乐首先访问了苏联Baikonur太空中心,他是目前为止西方领袖中访问该处的仅有者。法国参加苏联太空飞行的发射计划,包括:Lunokhod登月核火箭反应堆计划的激光实验和从南北极向极大高度发射火箭的联合电离层试验。而且还有两名法国飞行员的候选人正在加加林太空中心受训中。
The just-released news of France and the Soviet Union's joint visit to Comet Halley in 1985 alerted French astronomers, including those already involved in the work of the European Space Agency (ESA). They think the move will be a repeat of France, ESA officials confirmed that France can not withdraw its efforts to participate in the ESA, and such participation is mandatory for NATO member states. France has always maintained a special relationship with the Soviet space program. The late President Charles de Gaulle first visited the Soviet Baikonur Space Center, which is by far the only Western leader to visit the center. Launch plans for the participation of France in the Soviet space flight include the laser experiments of the Lunokhod lunar rocket reactor program and the joint ionospheric tests of rocket launching from the North and South Pole to a great height. And two candidates for French pilots are being trained at the Gagarin Space Center.
