The Russian Government Information Office stated that the Russian government will discuss on March 15 the draft federal law on the approval of the intergovernmental agreement on the cooperation with China on the construction of an international lunar scientific research station. . Meeting materials stated: “The bill aims to implement bilateral cooperation between Russia and China in the construction and use of international lunar scientific research stations and the training of scientific researchers and experts.”
In 2023, the Russian government’s Legislative Council approved the initiative to jointly build a Russian-Chinese international scientific lunar station. Vladimir Gruzdev, chairman of the board of directors of the Russian Law Society, said that the federal bill aims to approve the agreement between the Russian and Chinese governments to jointly build an international scientific lunar station. This agreement is in line with Russia’s interests and will help strengthen Russia-China strategic partnership and the development of Russian aerospace affairs.
Russia and China’s plan to jointly build an international scientific lunar station will be implemented in two phases starting in 2025. The station will include research, power, takeoff and landing, orbit and experiment modules, as well as a command center, transmission satellites, telecommunications stations, and technology verification observation modules.
Russia and China signed a cooperation agreement in November 2022 to jointly build an international scientific lunar station.
