China-Russia’s reactor building is likely to make autonomy “without the presence of people,” according to a 2024 interaction with the Space Agency Site Director grafted. While details how it can be achieved to remain unclear, Borisov added that the technology measures “are about to be prepared.”
“The station will conduct basic research space and test for long-term uninterrupted operations in Ilrs, with a prospect of a human person,” wrote by Roscosmos In a notice on May 8 Following the signing of memorandum.
The new research station, a permanent, steamed lunar base located in the moonThe South Pole in the South, attracts 17 countries to participate in the program – including Egypt, Pakistan, Venezuela, Thailand and South Africa. Its basis will be placed on the 2028 Chinese mission
The Roadmap for Ilrs was the first revealed on June 2021, with China and Russia announcing the pieces for a robot super heavy roort-live rocket launch from 2030 to 2035.
Once these main pieces are established, Chinese plans plan in addition, to connect it to a space located in the equest in the equator located at the equator of the month and far side of it, Wu YanhuaThe chief designer of the depths of Chinese exploration project, A 2024 media conference saysAccording to the media outlet in the State Xinhua.
This high model, putting the foundations for Mars’ Manden Landings, must be completed by 2050. It is “will be given to the solar, nuclear generators,” nuclear. “It will also include Lunar-Earth-Land and High-Speed Lifacing Networks, as well as lunar vehicles such as a hopper, and compressed people with people.”
Memorandum comes at a time to grow ambition for Chinese space programs. The country has a lunar presence from 2013 landing in Chang’e 3 missions, which puts a rover in the moon. Subsequent missions have taken many rovers on the moon and Mars, while collecting samples from the summer and the sides, and Assumes the surface of the lunar surface.
China’s race to build a lunar outpost also has opposite Americans in the Artemis program, which has just lost delays. Artemis III, seeing the Astronaut on our nearest natural satellite for the first time in more than 50 years, expected to launch at times by 2027.
Meanwhile, the future of self-planned lunar space on NASA, Dubbed gate And at first ended for launches when 2027, the Trump administration’s budget was asked. The budget calls for the cancellation of the gateway mission, however Important Progress to build the modules at the station.
