China and Russia's Lunar Station Project: Key Objectives Revealed by Scientist.
The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a mega space project jointly proposed by China and Russia, has selected five primary scientific and application objectives, including learning about the moon's evolution and searching for another habitable planet for humanity. The primary goals for the ILRS will include studying the moon's evolution, exploring star formation and activity, searching for habitable home planets for humanity in space, and seeking to answer the question if we are alone in the universe. China aims to complete the building of the basic structure for the ILRS by around 2028 through its Chang'e-6, -7, and -8 lunar probe missions.
