The space station will be designed as a “complex of experimental research objects on the lunar surface and / or in the lunar orbit”, revealed Roscosmos.
The Agency stated that it had signed the agreement Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Rogozin and Director of the Chinese National Space Administration Zhang Kegian.
It is planned that the space station will be available to other interested countries and international partners.
It is not known when this station is scheduled to be completed.
Russia lags behind Washington and Beijing in exploring the Moon and Mars, and in recent years Russia’s space program has suffered greatly from a lack of funding and corruption.
Russia lost its monopoly on transporting people to the International Space Station (ISS) last year.
US private company SpaceX spaceship Crew Dragon last year successfully completed the first US manned space flight since 2011, when the use of space shuttles was discontinued.
SpaceX also plans a flight to the Moon.
Meanwhile, China sent a probe into space last year Tianwen-1, which is currently orbiting Mars.
China also successfully returned samples from the lunar surface to Earth in December. It was the first mission of its kind in more than 40 years.
