Britain announced that it is willing to participate in the proposed U.S. manned space station, and it urged other European countries to join in the $10-billion project. President Reagan last year invited European participation in a space station in 1992. West Germany has said it will contribute $875 million. Britain’s information technology minister, Geoffrey Pattie, said he will urge participation in the venture during a two-day meeting of the 11-nation European Space Agency starting today in Rome.
