In the future, the Moon will become a launching pad for exploration of deep space and distant planets. Director General of Roscosmos Yuri Borisov spoke about the future of the Russian lunar program - the launch of Luna-25 was the first step. ▪️Luna-25 will enter the circumlunar orbit on August 16. A soft landing is scheduled for 21 August. ▪️The station will conduct a range of studies - first of all, the search for water. If successful, the prospect of building a lunar base and industrial use opens up. ▪️The complex of studies is designed for a year. The station will take lunar soil, study it and transmit data to Earth. ▪️In 2027, we should launch Luna-26, in 2028 - Luna-27, and somewhere after 2030 - Luna-28. These missions will be phase one. ▪️After that, Russia, together with China, will move on to the next phase - the possibility of a manned visit to the moon and the construction of a lunar base. #source [club152044818|@Slavyangrad] Join SLG Intelligence Briefings, Strategy and Analysis, Expert Community Источник: Slavyangrad
