Russia aims to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon

Russia plans to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon in the next decade to power its lunar space program and a joint Russian-Chinese research station, as the superpowers rush to explore Earth's only natural satellite.

Since Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space in 1961, Russia has established itself as a leading power in space exploration, but in recent decades it has lagged behind the United States in this regard, and increasingly behind China.

Russia's ambitions suffered a major blow in August 2023 when its uncrewed Luna-25 mission crashed into the lunar surface during a landing attempt, as billionaire Elon Musk has revolutionized spacecraft launches, once a Russian specialty.

The Russian state space corporation, Roscosmos, announced that it plans to build a power plant on the Moon by 2036, adding that it has signed a contract with the space industry company, Lavochkin Association, to carry out this project.

Roscosmos said the plant's purpose is to power Russia's lunar program, including robotic vehicles, an observatory and the infrastructure of the Joint Russian-Chinese International Research Station.

"This project is an important step towards creating a permanent lunar station and transitioning from one-time missions to a long-term lunar exploration program," Roscosmos said.

Roscosmos did not explicitly indicate whether the plant would be nuclear, but announced that among the participants in the project are the Russian state nuclear energy corporation Rosatom and the Kurchatov Institute, which is Russia's main institute for nuclear research.

Roscosmos head Dmitry Bakanov said in June that one of the corporation's goals is to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon and explore Venus, known as Earth's "sister planet."

The moon, which is 384,400 kilometers away from Earth, helps stabilize the Earth's rotation on its axis, ensuring a more stable climate. It also causes the tides in the world's oceans./REL
