A base on the Moon may be built by 2035.
NASAA base on the Moon may be built by 2035, Roscosmos Executive Director for Manned Programs Sergei Krikalev has said.
"According to the approved policy fundamentals, there will be a landing on the Moon before 2030 and a lunar base will be built by 2035," he said.
Most probably, the base will house a scientific laboratory, Krikalev said. "The regime of visits is still being discussed: it could be either the ISS style, in which crews replace one another, or a method, according to which one crew comes back and brings the results, the results are studied, after which the next crew goes on mission," he said.
