Ready for a moon-powered future? 🌕🚀
Roscosmos announced on Wednesday, Dec 24, 2025 that it’s teaming up with Lavochkin Association (contract signed this December) to build a lunar power station by 2036. Think of it as a permanent energy hub for Russia’s lunar rovers, observatories, and even facilities on the International Lunar Research Station shared with global partners.
Why it matters: Moving beyond one-off moon landings, this project spans spacecraft design, ground tests, flight demos, and on-site infrastructure setup. It’s a big leap toward a constantly active scientific base on the lunar surface.
Back in April 2022, President Vladimir Putin revived Russia’s lunar ambitions at Vostochny Cosmodrome. Now, with this power station plan, the timeline’s getting real—2036 isn’t that far off!
What’s next? Stay tuned for tech updates, launch schedules, and glimpses of lunar life as this decade-long mission unfolds.
