Russia is planning to put a “lighthouse” on the moon as part of its joint Russia-India Moon Resource space mission.
“Subsequently, you will be able to use the LED beacon as a point of reference for a coordination network, for optical observations and measurements,” Interfax quoted a source in the aerospace industry as saying on Tuesday.
The source said that the beacon would be able to work for a very long period given its low energy requirements and the probe’s autonomous energy supply and solar batteries.
