Russian Roscosmos chief Dmitry Bakanov stated that Russia and China are working jointly at the moment in order to build a lunar station.
"In May, when Mr. [Chinese President] Xi Jinping visited Moscow, a corresponding agreement on the implementation was signed. [Russia and China] are jointly implementing projects to build power stations," Bakanov told.
Back in May, Roscosmos and the China National Space Administration signed a memorandum on building a power station for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). The Russian space corporation shared that this project will represent "fundamental research" in space exploration and provide testing for the technology used in long-term operations in the uncrewed mode.
