Craftsmen of the domestic state space corporation activities are currently creating the ship and the booster heavy class “Angara-A5V” designed specifically for implementation of a manned flight to the moon. Today, employees Roscosmos decided to tell the Russian and world public about some details of the future mission.
According to experts, in the foreseeable future on the natural satellite of our planet will go to twelve Russian astronauts. Lunar probe designed to explore the nearest to the earth of the celestial body, will be planted by Roscosmos in 2024, and six years after that, a permanent base will be erected there. She will be used by Russians for a thorough study of Selena and test mining of extraterrestrial minerals.
Foreign journalists have already written that Russia is going to use your alien object as a military base. Representatives of the domestic space corporation refute this statement, stating that the installation of any guns on the moon too expensive and technically irrational. However, experts do not deny that someday Russian military bases may appear and beyond the earth. However, a more suitable place for this is the closest cosmos to Earth.

The Russian base will be located at the south pole of the moon
Original lunar base research significant problems, their number will increase to ten to twelve people. It is reported that a preliminary design of the lunar construction has already been created technicians. Scientists have developed volumetric models on a computer and presented plans for making test copies.
In “Roskosmos” have not yet decided on the location of the future base. Probably, at the south pole of the moon will establish a subsurface the reactor means the base itself, which it will supply energy, will be somewhere nearby. Possibly on a heavenly body first they will send the Luna-25 planet rover, which will be engaged in searches the most suitable place for the construction of the Russian object.

All the rooms in which the astronauts will live and work, located underground to protect people from destructive exposure to cosmic radiation. Obviously, such a mission require astronauts remarkable endurance and moral equilibrium.
According to Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the domestic space rocket industry in government, moon exploration is one of the most important areas of work of Roscosmos. And although, like stressed the vice prime minister, such a project could fly into the country in a pretty penny, Russia needs it, since it’s worth mastering the closest to us planets must start superpowers, and powers that can put human interests and values above nationalistic ambitions and especially commercial priorities.
