BERLIN - Germany hopes to put an unmanned space craft into the moon's orbit in the early part of the next decade, a senior German official said on Wednesday.

The lunar orbit mission will be useful for scientific research, said Deputy Economy Minister Peter Hintze, the government's aerospace coordinator. "It is also a chance for Germany to prove its competence in this area."
