Russia has just made an exciting announcement: Roscosmos, the country’s space agency, plans to launch a manned mission to the Moon in the next decade.

A manned flight to the Moon and lunar landing is planned for 2029,” head of Roscosmos Energia Vladimir Solntsev announced at a space and technology conference which took place in Moscow this Tuesday.

However, at the moment, we only know a few details about this ambitious plan. It’s only known that Russia is building a new spacecraft for the mission, and its first scheduled flight is planned for 2021. Then, the uncrewed version of the spacecraft will be sent to the Moon in 2025, before it can finally take astronauts there four years later.
