China and Russia will mount a joint effort to explore Mars and one of its moons in 2009, Chinese state media reported Wednesday.

A Russian rocket will lift a Chinese satellite and Russian exploration vehicle to survey Mars and Phobos, the innermost and biggest of the red planet's moons, the state-run China Daily reported, citing China's National Space Administration.
