Mars-V camp to simulate life on the Red Planet in Mongolia by 2029 www.kz.kursiv.media

An ambitious project called Mars-V is slated to open in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert by 2029, offering, according to organizers, the world’s most realistic simulation of life on Mars. The site won’t just serve as a tourist attraction — it’s designed as a monthlong experiment in living like a member of humanity’s first expedition to the Red Planet.
Organizers promise a fully immersive experience: capsule-style living quarters equipped with a lab and greenhouse, freeze-dried meals, communication with Earth that includes a built-in signal delay, and a tightly regulated daily schedule that includes meditation, exercise, research, and troubleshooting.
Prospective participants will undergo a rigorous selection process, which includes physical and psychological evaluations, followed by three months of online training. Those who qualify will then form a six-person crew, surrender their phones, and spend a month isolated in the desert — cut off from roads and modern communication. The nearest settlement lies a 10-hour drive away.
The Gobi Desert is considered one of the most «Martian» landscapes on Earth, with vast red sand plains, extreme temperature swings — from 45°C to -40°C — and an arid, otherworldly atmosphere.
The program is scheduled to run during the cold season, from October to March, when temperatures can drop to as low as -30°C. Even the camp’s modular structures draw inspiration from traditional Mongolian yurts, blending local heritage with futuristic design.

Government Moves to Curb Misuse of Official Secrets www.montsame.mn

During its regular session on November 12, 2025, the Cabinet of Mongolia discussed and supported the principles of draft amendments to the Law on State and Official Secrets and the draft Law on Approval of the List for State Secrets.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Byambatsogt Sandag said during a press briefing after the cabinet session that the main purpose of the amendments is to prevent the misuse of the “official secret” designation to restrict citizens’ right to information. He noted that in recent years, officials have arbitrarily classified organizational information as official secrets through internal orders. “High-value tenders and contracts have often been concealed under the pretext of confidentiality, creating conditions for corruption in public service,” he said. The Cabinet has therefore decided to submit the draft laws to Parliament.
Currently, 574 issues are classified as confidential under government resolutions. The chief cabinet secretary stated that these matters will be made public.

Pageant for Miss and Mister Universe: Why is Serbia sending a Mongolian and a German? www.vreme.com

At this year's pageant for Miss and Mister Universe, Serbia will be represented by a Mongolian woman and a German with a Serbian passport.

The tabloids also state that such decisions have caused violent reactions in the public, especially on social networks, and that there are many who are angry because Serbia is not represented by a Serb woman and a Serb man.
Egorova proved that she has Serbian roots
Egorova claims that she got a Serbian passport because she managed to To the Government of Serbia prove that he has Serbian roots.
She also states that she passed the Serbian language exam, that she lived and studied in Serbia, that she respects Serbia and that she is honored to represent the country that "welcomed her with open arms."
"My roots are Asian, my passport is Serbian, but my purpose is universal – to show that beauty today means connection, not division. I want every girl who feels 'different' to see that she can belong anywhere, where she brings kindness, respect and strength," Egorova said on Instagram.

Miss World used to be a prestigious competition, but then Donald tramp, once a businessman, and now the American president, sold the license. This competition passed into the hands of dubious organizers who completely destroyed its credibility and tradition of more than seven decades. Since then, the standards have changed drastically.

Jade Gas signs agreement with Langrun to develop Mongolian methane project www.petroleumaustralia.com.au

Jade Gas Holdings Ltd. has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Chinese gas equipment manufacturer Zhengzhou Langrun Intelligent Equipment Co. Ltd. to develop a coal-bed methane project in Mongolia.
The agreement between the two companies includes project financing of up to US$46 million over the first stage of Jade’s Red Lake development. Key aspects include drilling and production operations for the 18 wells at the Red Lake gasfield and potential to expand the terms to accommodate all 175 Phase 1 gas production wells.
Jade said it chose to enter into an agreement with Langrun based on their proven operating and financial capabilities and their previous experience with similar scale coal bed methane projects. Langrun’s expertise also allows Jade to seek options to fast-track development of the Red Lake gas field and to optimise gas production.
Jade Executive Director, Joe Burke, said: “Langrun are well known to us, having also worked with our drilling contractor DWK for many years.
“Having a collaboration of this nature with a company with such vast experience in gasfield developments of this stage would be a huge advantage as we focus on the most appropriate pathway to develop the Red Lake gasfield.”
“Considering the high gas potential demonstrated now at Red Lake, our focus remains on moving quickly to gas production and customer markets for early revenue.”
The Red Lake gasfield could potentially be developed to cover purification, pipeline and other transport, compression, liquefaction, refuelling station construction, enabling gas sales for vehicle, industrial and other markets.
Langrun CEO Wang Yongtao said: “We share in Jade’s view that there is a significant opportunity for gas in the southern Mongolian region, and Langrun has the experience and understanding to execute on this vision to take advantage of the gas demand in the region, particularly for LNG and CNG where we have a rich experience.”
Jade could provide the gas source, land for facilities and operational rights, while Langurn will arrange the financing for drilling and other production services and manage production operations.
The initial phase of development will focus on 20 wells, while in the subsequent phase, the partnership may expand to cover additional wells and broader project development.
The initial letter of intent is non-exclusive and does not create any immediate financial obligations on Jade. A binding agreement is subject to commercial flow rates at the first two production wells, and regulator and Mongolian government approval.

S.Byambatsogt: Government to privatize 10–51% of MIAT, State Bank and TPP-3 www.gogo.mn

The government has signalled a major shift in the management of state assets as part of its five-year development plan for 2026–2030. The draft resolution setting out the plan was submitted to Parliament on October 30, and Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar presented the development strategy to the public on November 9. After the presentation, Ministers answered journalists’ questions, including how the government plans to close the door to corruption and theft in state companies.
S.Byambatsogt, Chief Cabinet Secretary, said the government’s first priority is to stop theft by making state-owned enterprises transparent and more efficient. “If financial agreements, reports and bids are open and transparent, the opportunities for theft at state companies will be removed”, describing transparency measures already under way. He noted that between 2010 and 2025, 581 of 586 Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi contracts were made public, and that work is in progress to publish five international contracts.
S.Byambatsogt said legal reform is also essential. The government has submitted a draft law on state and local-owned companies and a draft law on state public property to Parliament; if adopted, these laws will create the legal framework for major reforms and greater public participation in ownership. An international audit of Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi was also carried out last week to introduce international management practices and move the company toward a transparent, publicly accountable joint-stock form.
As part of this programme, S.Byambatsogt said the government will present a policy paper during the autumn parliamentary session proposing partial privatization (10–51%) of selected state enterprises, including MIAT, the State Bank, TPP-3 and state electricity distribution companies. He said the aim is to reduce direct state competition with the private sector, improve governance, and widen public oversight through shareholding and openness.
