China and Russia are teaming up to build an International Lunar Research Station on the Moon. The project will unfold in two phases: a basic robotic base in 2030, followed by a human base by 2035. Learn more about this groundbreaking space collaboration.
Phase 1 (2030): The initial construction will focus on setting up a basic robotic lunar base. This phase will lay the groundwork for future expansion and research capabilities.
Phase 2 (2035): The second phase will involve expanding the base and further development, aimed at establishing a more permanent human presence.
The project will be supported by five super heavy-lift rockets that will transport necessary goods and equipment between 2030 and 2035. This collaborative effort between China and Russia marks a significant step in international space exploration and research.
China recently unveiled these plans at the International Deep Space Exploration Conference in Anhui, emphasizing its leadership role in this pioneering venture. ( PLC & GT )
