International Lunar Research Station (ILRS)

The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) is a planned lunar facility aimed at fostering international collaboration in space exploration. Proposed by China and Russia, it seeks to establish a permanent research base on the Moon to support scientific research, technology development, and exploration activities. The station will serve as a hub for studying lunar resources, conducting experiments, and preparing for future missions to Mars and beyond. By collaborating on the ILRS, participating nations can share knowledge, expertise, and resources, promoting peaceful use of outer space and enhancing humanity's understanding of the Moon and its potential.
