In October 1998, Russian Academy of Sciences academician Galimov proposed the concept of conducting another lunar exploration mission after Luna 24 at the Moscow International Lunar Exploration Conference, which is regarded as the beginning of modern Russia's return to the moon program. However, based on budget constraints, the authorities have listed the Phobos Earth probe and the Spectral Astrophysics Observatory as higher priority tasks, and lunar exploration has been temporarily put on hold. In early 2018, the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences announced that the probe was scheduled to be launched in 2019 and a possible landing site had been selected.
