The development of a nuclear power plant, which Russia plans to send to the Moon in 2033-2035 for a joint scientific lunar station with China, has already begun, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos head Yuri Borisov told Sputnik on Wednesday. Last month, the head of Roscosmos said that Russia, together with its Chinese colleagues, is considering the delivery and installation of a nuclear power plant on the surface of the Moon in 2033-2035. He later clarified that the creation of a nuclear energy source for the operation of a lunar base could be a Russian contribution to this joint project with China.The lunar bases in focus are China's Yuegong-1, also known as the Lunar Palace, and Russia's BIOS-3.Both are enclosed facilities that are environmentally self-sufficient and can sustain a long-term mission without any external inputs other than power.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia and China plan to develop a joint international scientific lunar station in two stages starting in 2025. It will include research, power, launch and landing, orbital, experimental modules, a command center, a transmitting satellite, a telecommunications station, and modules for technology verification and observation.
The development of a nuclear power plant, which Russia plans to send to the Moon in 2033-2035 for a joint scientific lunar station with
China, has already begun, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos head Yuri Borisov told
Sputnik on Wednesday.
"It [the development] has begun," Borisov said.
Last month, the
head of Roscosmos said that Russia, together with its Chinese colleagues, is considering the delivery and installation of a nuclear power plant on the surface of the Moon in 2033-2035. He later clarified that the creation of a nuclear energy source for the operation of a lunar base could be a Russian contribution to this joint project with China.
The
lunar bases in focus are China's Yuegong-1, also known as the Lunar Palace, and Russia's BIOS-3.
Both are enclosed facilities that are environmentally self-sufficient and can sustain a long-term mission without any external inputs other than power.
