I can only come up with the following:

Please help me translate this sentence into English
In this case, looking at the NHK Easy News version makes it a bit clearer
(though it is also a good resource if you aren't able to read the normal news
comfortably):
<http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/k10011033541000/k10011033541000.html>

For reference, here is the Easy text, though I am basing my translation on
both sources:

>
> ＪＡＸＡによると、日本はお金がかかるため人が乗る宇宙船などはつくらないで、ほかの役に立つ技術を考えて、世界の国が行う宇宙の調査に協力します。そして、日本人の宇宙飛行士を月に送ることができるようにします。

I am not a native speaker, and this translation is not quite literal, but I
think it pretty much captures the idea of the sentence:

> "According to JAXA, Japan will not develop a costly manned spacecraft, but
> will instead contribute specialized technology for the planned 2025 manned
> moon surface exploration that many countries are participating in, for which
> preparations are already underway. By providing this support, it is hoped
> that Japanese astronauts might earn the privilege of making a moon landing."
