Russia will send a spacecraft to the Moon later this year and strengthen cooperation with Belarus on space infrastructure and space technology, Russian President Vladimir Putin said today.
Speaking at a meeting with Belarussian leader Alexander Lukashenko at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East, Putin referred to Soviet success in space and said that none of the sanctions on Russia could stop its progress.
Russia’s “special military operation”, as Moscow calls it, for the demilitarization and “de-Nazification” of Ukraine has sparked a flurry of sanctions from Western countries, including restrictions on scientific funding and co-operation.
Putin said Russia would develop a new generation of transport spacecraft and technologies for nuclear energy in space.
He also said he would send a spaceship, the Luns-25, to the Moon in the third quarter of this year.
Russia will work with Belarus on infrastructure to ensure countries’ independent access to space, Putin said, adding that he had asked the Russian space agency Roskosmos to train a Belarusian on a flight on a Russian spacecraft.
