Russia is planning to establish a new orbital space station by 2030 with a four-module core, as reported by the Roscosmos space agency and quoted by Reuters. The head of Roscosmos, Yuriy Borisov, has signed the construction schedule with the directors of 19 enterprises involved in creating the new station.

Vladimir Solovyov, a well-known Russian journalist considered Putin's "belly fighter", threatened Britain today while talking to the head of the Russian Space Agency about the new, powerful RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, which Russia plans to deploy to its armed forces by autumn, Daily Mail reports.

Russia will explore the Moon with the help of robots with artificial intelligence, the Roscosmos federal space agency said.

"The involvement of a person in this program is harmoniously combined with the use of automated spacecraft and robot with elements of artificial intelligence," said the press service of the corporation.

Russia and the United States have agreed to cooperate on a NASA-led programme to build the first lunar space station, part of a long-term project to send humans to Mars.

The US space agency said earlier this year that it was exploring a programme called the Deep Space Gateway, a multi-stage project to push further into the solar system.

Russia on May 17 began investigating the loss of a commercial satellite and a separate glitch on the International Space Station, sparking fears over the industry's safety.
