Russia and China are exploring a collaboration to revolutionize lunar habitation. The leaders of Russia’s Roscosmos and the China National Space Administration are considering the installation of the first nuclear power plant on the moon.

“Today we are seriously considering a project — somewhere at the turn of 2033 to 2035 — to deliver and install a power unit on the lunar surface together with our Chinese colleagues,” said Roscosmos Director General Yuri Borisov, highlighting the complexity of the endeavor.

The ambitious project seeks to make sustainable living on the moon and potentially other planets a reality by the mid-2030s, marking a significant advancement in space exploration. Russian officials have outlined plans to establish communication and power systems, and deploy advanced lunar landers, a jumping robot and smart mini-rovers for moon surface research.

China is scheduled to launch three moon missions, including the Chang’e 6 mission, in May.

Both countries have reiterated their opposition to the militarization of space, focusing instead on advancing space exploration.
