💨 Abstract

Russia and China have partnered to build a nuclear power station on the moon for their shared International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), planned for completion by 2036. The station, led by China and Russia, aims to conduct lunar research and test technology for long-term operations. Construction will likely be autonomous, with humans involved later. The ILRS will be a manned base on the moon's south pole, known for potential water-based ice and abundant resources like Helium-3.
