Will the government approve the budget for the Lunar Program by August?
Volume~$231
YES chance
DescriptionAcademician Chernyshev’s proposal to allocate 4.4 trillion rubles for lunar exploration and the creation of “sovereign territories” requires formal inclusion in the federal budget and an updated Russian space program. The first phase (2026–2030) involves testing landing and takeoff technologies. Given the scale of the funding, the project must be approved by the Ministry of Finance and the Government. The key question is whether an official document allocating the requested funding or approving the program’s phases will be signed by the end of summer.
ConditionsYes: if, by August 1, 2026, (inclusive), the Government of the Russian Federation or Roscosmos officially publishes a resolution or program confirming the allocation of budgetary funds (in the amount of approximately 4 trillion rubles) for the implementation of the phases of lunar exploration outlined by Academician Chernyshev.No: if, by the specified date, the project remains at the stage of expert discussions and proposals by the Russian Academy of Sciences without official budgetary confirmation.
