Officials say a joint programme between China and Russia will be open to global scientists
China and Russia will sign an agreement to build a research station on the moon, officials at the Chinese space agency said.
China and Russia also agreed to co-operate on the launch of a robotic lunar mission, Chang’e 7, in about 2025, said Liu Jizhong, director of the administration’s China Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center. By working together, China and Russia are teaming up in a new race to the moon among the world’s space powers. The US has scheduled a major test of the Artemis programme for February, an effort to return astronauts to the moon later this decade.
