Project In Partnership With Russia Aims To Provide Energy For Lunar Research Base By 2035

China has confirmed its plans for the construction of a nuclear power plant on the lunar surface, as part of the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project, in collaboration with Russia. The structure will serve as an energy source for the future scientific base to be established at the Moon’s south pole, considered strategic due to the presence of ice and continuous sunlight.

China’s Construction Will Be Part Of International Lunar Station

The future international station is scheduled to be completed by 2035 and will be constructed in the lunar south pole region, a location chosen for the availability of natural resources, such as ice that can be converted into drinking water and fuel. According to information from Reuters, the energy supply will be ensured by a hybrid system, combining solar panels and a mini nuclear power plant that will be tested during the Chang’e 8 mission, planned for 2028.

Lunar Project Includes Energy And Infrastructure Testing

The Chang’e 8 mission, considered a key step for China’s construction on the Moon, will test technologies related to energy generation, life support, and automated construction processes in the lunar environment. The tests will include the distribution of heat and electricity for habitable environments, as well as the integration of systems with artificial intelligence. The Chinese space agency hopes that the lessons learned from the mission will serve as the basis for future multilateral collaborations.

International Cooperation And Space Expansion

The International Lunar Research Station will be built with the participation of other countries, paving the way for global scientific collaboration in space. The ILRS project differs from the lunar station planned by the United States and its Artemis mission partners, reflecting the growing division of blocs in the new space race. The Times highlights that China’s focus is on establishing a long-term presence on the Moon, with infrastructure capable of sustaining future crewed missions.

Energy As A Foundation For Human Presence On The Moon With China’s Construction

The deployment of a nuclear power plant on the Moon represents a scale shift in China’s space ambitions. Stable energy generation is seen as essential for the maintenance of scientific equipment, life support, and the development of habitats in extreme environments. With China’s construction at the center of the project, the ILRS is expected to mark a new era in exploration and scientific cooperation beyond Earth.

Energy As A Foundation For Human Presence On The Moon With China’s Construction

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With an 88-meter wingspan, a capacity of 250 tons, six engines, and 32 wheels, the Ukrainian giant became the greatest symbol of extreme air transport and one of the most impressive machines in aviation history.

Brazil wants to become a military power, and missiles capable of hitting targets up to 200 km away begin to be produced in SIATT’s national factory, which already delivers the first batch to the Army and expands strategic surveillance of the Blue Amazon.

Xiaomi goes beyond cell phones and launches an electric kettle with 316Ti titanium steel, 1,800 W of power, and technology that keeps water hot for 24 hours, does not rust, prevents a metallic taste, and costs around R$ 101 in China.

The IMF shows Brazil’s reality in the coming years and projects the country back into the top 10 largest economies in the world by 2030, with a GDP of US$ 3.20 trillion and a jump of US$ 560 billion in five years.

Goodbye traditional microwave: Brastemp surprises and launches a 23-liter version with Multi-Prep function for brownie, risotto, and brigadeiro, smart weight-based defrosting, QR Code with recipes, and an initial price of R$ 639 in Brazil.

What’s so special about this little Brazilian town to receive R$ 25 billion for a cellulose megafactory and have more people working than inhabitants?
