sentence1: The Russian space agency has ordered design work to start for a next-generation spaceship capable of flying missions to the moon, setting the ground for a potential new space race with the United States. The space agency granted the state-controlled RKK Energiya company a US$23 million contract for initial work on a new, reusable craft to replace the 40-year-old Soyuz. The as-yet-unnamed Russian spaceship could emerge as a potential competitor to NASA's prospective Orion spacecraft. Design requirements for the Russian craft appear similar to Orion's specification, prompting some experts to nickname it "Orionski." Orion is scheduled to carrying humans to the International Space Station beginning in 2015, and to the moon by 2020.
sentence2: Orion is produced by the Russian space agency.
