The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS)

The International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) represents a significant milestone in lunar exploration. It is a jointly - implemented, scalable, and maintainable facility with functions like power supply, communication, and scientific research. The ILRS adheres to principles such as peaceful utilization and shared benefits. Its objectives cover technological leaps, scientific research on lunar geology, and resource utilization. The implementation is divided into basic and extended models by 2035 and 2050 respectively. International cooperation engages with numerous countries, international organizations, and institutions in various aspects, including facility construction, scientific research, and data sharing. A sound cooperation mechanism has been established, with management frameworks for scientific data and lunar samples, aiming to promote global lunar exploration and space development.
