Saturday, March 13th 2021, 6:50 pm - The two countries both have a history of lunar probes, but have never sent crewed missions to the moon.
After sending unmanned probes to Earth s moon in the past, Russia and China now plan to jointly develop a new lunar base.
Russia s space agency, Roscosmos, announced the agreement last week with the China National Space Administration to build what the two countries called the International Lunar Research Station (ILRM). The ILRS is a comprehensive scientific experiment base with the capability of long-term autonomous operation, built on the lunar surface and/or on the lunar orbit that will carry out multi-disciplinary and multi-objective scientific research activities such as the lunar exploration and utilization, lunar-based observation, basic scientific experiment and technical verification, the agencies said in a release.
