Russia proposed setting up a space station on the Moon

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin proposed setting up a space station on the Moon to revive Moscow's wretched space program , a day after Prime Minister Dmitry vigorously criticized the industry's failures.

In an interview on September 12 with Vesti FM, the former Russian representative at NATO confirmed that Russia's space agency should focus on a single goal.

He said: " I suggest we make an effort to do a great task, perhaps to establish a space station, a base on the Moon. Why not try working in micro-gravity conditions. Why do not try to use a giant space station that is Earth's natural satellite ".

According to Rogozin, such a Moon program will "entail both the science and the space industry behind it" , and "allow Russia to escape the constraint of certain problems we are facing." in the past 20 years ".

He stressed that Russia's space program lacks a clear focus."Russia has finally figured out what it wants from the pillar. It needs to determine what we are trying to achieve."

Russia is currently the only country that can bring astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), but it also suffered losses, including losing two satellites after the rocket launch. Proton-M failed last month.
