“Our international partners from the USA, Europe and Japan supported the proposal to create a visited orbital station in lunar orbit at Lagrange L2 (on the side of the Moon’s orbit opposite the Earth - IF-AVN) after the termination of the ISS operation based on the Russian Scientific and Energy Module being developed originally for the ISS, ”a source from Roscosmos reported (unfortunately, Interfax does not indicate what kind of source it is).

Modernization of the module for use in the lunar environment will not be significant. In addition, the module station will receive additional nodes for docking with US and Russian spacecraft.

The development of the module is the RSC Energia business, and the module itself will be launched to the ISS in 2018. The project has already been submitted for examination to the Central Scientific-Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering . On the moon, the module will be used after the decommissioning of the ISS.

It is expected that the life of the lunar station will be 30 years.
