In a report last month, we told you that China’s space agency and Russia’s space agency together want to build a base on the Moon. The name of the moon base will be International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). More countries will be included in the project, but America will not be a part of it.
New Report According to this, this ambitious project of China will be completed in two phases. The first phase can be completed by the year 2035. During this period, a basic research facility will be established on the moon. Scientific experiments will be conducted regularly at the facility. There are preparations to build this station on the south pole of the Moon.
The second phase of ILRS is expected to be completed by the year 2045. By then a strong and durable moon base will be built on the moon. It will have all the facilities, which will help the scientists to complete their missions.
By building a base on the Moon, all the space agencies are looking at the possibility of flying from there to Mars. NASA is also included in these. The purpose of NASA’s Artemis mission is to send humans to the Moon again and make them capable of living there for a long time.
However, China has also prepared a concept video to fulfill its objective. It shows what kind of structures and facilities will be built on the Moon.
