MOSCOW, August 11, /ITAR-TASS/. Russia's moon exploration plans have
found reflection in a draft Federal Space Programme (FSP) for a
2016-2025 period, worked by the Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos). The
draft FSP envisions that already in 2018 work will be started to develop
the elements of a moon base and special-purpose technology that will be
required for building it, the newspaper Izvestia writes referring to
the document a copy of which it has available.
Izvestia quotes the draft Programme as pointing out that "The 'Manned Flights' avenue of research includes projects to bring into being an on-ground development complex as the prototype of a first-phase moon base consisting of four modules (habitation, laboratory, power, and modernised node) for comprehensive linkage and verification of the adopted architectural and technical solutions".
The draft Programme also presupposes that a mobile manipulator crane, a grader, an excavator, a cablelayer, and a mobile robot for lunar surface exploration will be created and tested for building a luna base.
According to the newspaper's data, the financing of a number of research and experimental design operations at the moon base is supposed to be started in 2018. In all, Roscosmos requests the allocation of 10.37 billion roubles within a period till 2025 inclusive for the implementation of the works.
Roscosmos staff prefer not to comment on the FSP, the paper specifies.
