Russian scientists said Saturday they plan to put two lunar rovers on the moon by 2020 and a landing station after 2022.

The efforts are for someday having a manned space station on the moon, RIA Novosti reported.

On the moon, scientists plan on studying the polar regions of Moon and gas-dust exosphere of the satellite, make a soil samples and find the most comfortable areas for lunar base deployment, Russia's Academy of Sciences said in a report.

"The lunar rovers and the landing station will form first elements of space infrastructure for a lunar testing area with prospects of deployment of Russia's lunar base in this area," the report said.
