Luna-Glob is the name of the official Russian project to launch a Moon satellite:
Vladimir Shevchenko, a professor at the State Astronomy Institute of Moscow State University,quoted by Interfax as saying at a scientific conference in Moscow, said:
“This may be followed by projects for new landing modules and Moon research vehicles.
And if such a program materializes, a Russian base may be set up on the Moon by 2011.”

He mentioned a hypothesis that the Moon’s numerous craters are the effect of a “space shower.”
