The program aims to build a base on the Moon, which will serve as a platform for experimental activities, by the middle of the century. In addition, the base also helps to extract minerals on this Earth's only natural satellite.

The project calls for the development of many long-range space technologies, to ensure the country can conquer the Moon independently, without the need for foreign partners. Previous proposals are all about strong international cooperation, because it is believed that no country can alone deploy large-scale interplanetary projects.

Russia plans to implement many separate Moon projects that last from 3-4 years per project, in the next 16 years.

The first four projects will launch in the period 2016 - 2025, focusing on identifying the ground, the chemical structure of the South Pole Moon, where the base will be built.

Trips to the Moon and back will begin from 2028 - 2030. Eventually the Moon's life will begin around 2030 - 2040.

The first phase will cost the government 28.5 billion rouble ($ 800 million).

Previous Lunar expeditions, beginning with the Soviet Luna program in 1959 and the US's introduction to the Moon 10 years later, found aluminum, iron, titanium, rare earth and minerals. other.
