China and Russia have signed a memorandum of cooperation to create an automated nuclear power station on the moon by 2035. This facility will be integral to the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), which aims to support scientific missions and technological advancements in space exploration. The ILRS is considered a competitor to NASA's Artemis program, with an objective to establish a permanent research base near the lunar south pole. It invites a broad coalition of over a dozen countries to collaborate on moon exploration efforts.
The proposed International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) will serve as a hub for scientific exploration and technology testing in a lunar environment, challenging NASA's Artemis program.
China and Russia are advancing their lunar ambitions by collaborating on the ILRS, showcasing a renewed focus on international partnerships and competition in space exploration.
