Roscosmos General Director Yuri Borisov said that Russia, together with China, is going to send a nuclear power plant to the lunar station in 2033–2035. Its development has already begun.
“It has begun,” Mr. Borisov said in a conversation with the RIA Novosti agency in response to a corresponding question.
On December 29, 2023, the Russian government approved the ratification of an agreement concluded in November 2022 with China on cooperation in the creation of an International Scientific Lunar Station. The key participants in the project will be Roscosmos and the Chinese National Space Administration.
Yuri Borisov spoke about plans to place a power plant on the Moon in March. According to him, it is planned to mount the installation on the lunar surface “at the turn of 2033–2035.” All the technological solutions necessary for this are already ready, he argued.
