Russia announced plans to launch three modules for a lunar nuclear power plant between 2033 and 2035, according to Russian press. NASA has also revealed that it intends to place a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to power future Artemis and Mars missions. Vasili Marfin, director‑general of Lavochkin, said the complex will enable precise lunar landings and research. Sean Duffy warned that Russia and China could establish a "no‑go" zone, potentially blocking U.S. Artemis if they launch first. The initiatives reflect growing competition for lunar infrastructure.
