>ILRS presently consists of five planned missions to set up nuclear energy, communications, astronomical observation and other infrastructure for a robotic research station which will, when completed, host astronauts.

> The project will require the development of five major infrastructures, DSEL’s Wu Yanhua and former CNSA deputy director said during a keynote speech on April 25. These include an Earth-moon Transportation System , a lunar surface long-term operation System, lunar surface transportation and science research facilities. An upgraded version of the ILRS is envisioned to be completed by 2050.

>Wu Weiren said that China will, without doubt, be capable of landing astronauts on the moon before 2030. The country is currently working on the required hardware to realize a crewed lunar landing.

Are any of the signers significant in any way except China? Basically going to be a chinese base vs a USA base, both parties having a number of other signatories and calling the space international but in reality its just controlled, developed and paid for by one party (or companies from one party)
