Türkiye wants to participate in Russian and Chinese space programs
Türkiye has applied to participate in a new international scientific lunar station being created by Russia and China. Director of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Anatoly Petrukovich spoke about this.
Other countries are also planned to participate in the international lunar station; this is not only a Russian-Chinese or Chinese-Russian station. There are applications for participation in the station from Turkey, for example, and from other countries
- said the scientist.
He clarified that in Asia there are many ambitious large states with decent budgets interested in space research with a long-term perspective.
Moscow and Beijing are going to launch the creation of a joint International Station on the Moon in two stages from 2025. It will include research, energy, takeoff and landing, orbital and experimental modules, as well as a command center, a transmitting satellite, a telecommunications station and modules for verification of technologies and observations. The goal of the project is to carry out multidisciplinary and multi-purpose research work, including the exploration and use of the Moon.
It is known that Moscow is also discussing with Beijing the possibility of joint exploration of Mars.
