The road map states that Russia plans to send astronauts to the moon between 2031 and 2040, and from 2041 to 2050 plans to build a lunar base, drill and excavation equipment, experimental mining and production complexes, and astrophysical observatories. Oxygen extraction and use, astrophysics, biomedical research, and the development of lunar resource production technologies are necessary. After 2050, lunar resources will be available for deep space exploration, and there will be fuel production and storage complexes, orbital assembly and supply equipment, and rare resource mining complexes. The road map also shows that the Russian rocket aviation industry will be committed to autonomous station landing on the moon before 2030, and develop transportation systems including super-heavy rockets, take-off and landing and cargo landing spacecraft.

 Naijatechnews  noticed that Russia’s lunar exploration plan is not all smooth sailing. In August this year, Russia’s Luna-25 probe deviated from its orbit and hit the lunar surface during its lunar landing mission, causing it to lose contact with the ground.
