Over the last 50 years, Russian and Chinese scientists have managed to create virtually autonomous systems to sustain life in outer space.The lunar bases in focus are China's Yuegong-1 (also referred to as the Lunar Palace) and Russia's BIOS-3.Both are environmentally closed facilities capable of supporting a long-duration self-contained mission with no external inputs other than power.At first, researchers and designers faced serious issues in providing adequate life-support on a space station. However, the problem could now been solved thanks to the introduction of nutrient-dense foods, allowing for long-term research missions in the harsh and barren environment.Check out Sputnik's infographic to learn more!

What Are the Lunar Bases That Russia and China Are Working On?
Russia and China plan to develop a joint international scientific lunar station in two stages starting in 2025. The station will include research, power, launch and landing, orbital, and experimental modules, as well as a command center, a transmitting satellite, a telecommunications station, and modules for technology verification and observation.
