Russia and China to set up a Moon base by 2036


13.10.2022


Russia and China are on track to build the creation of the International Lunar Scientific Station (ILRS) in the near future, reports Russia-China, Business Channel. According the head the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Anatoly Petrukovich, the countries will soon sign the official agreement. A memorandum on this deal was signed a year ago. Now the plans are being implemented and joint scientific groups are working, the scientist explained.

China and Russia plan to build five structures on the Moon’s surface. The first will be built for resource extraction to help power the rest of the station. The two countries also issued an invitation for international partners like Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and the European Space Agency to pitch into the effort.
In addition to being equipped to study the Moon’s geology, ILRS will be able to observe the Moon in great detail, collecting observations of our natural satellite’s topography, internal structure, geomorphology, and chemistry.
