Unexpected! Russia's Lunar Lander Crashed on the Moon after 50 years! What went wrong?
FAILED! Russia’s first lunar mission in decades crashes into the moon
Russia’s first lunar mission in decades has ended in failure with its Luna 25 spacecraft crashing into the moon’s surface.
Well, this is truly a significant blow to the already reeling Russian space industry!
Find out everything about this in today’s episode of Great SpaceX:
Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, said it lost touch with Luna 25 on Saturday around 2:57 p.m. Moscow time.
“The measures taken on August 19 and 20 to search for the device and get into contact with it did not yield any results,” the space agency reported.
According to a “preliminary analysis,” Luna-25 “switched to an off-design orbit” before the collision, Roscosmos said.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash.
A specially formed commission will investigate the reasons for the loss of Luna 25, the agency added.
The news comes a day after the spacecraft reported an “emergency situation” as it was trying to enter a pre-landing orbit, according to Roscosmos.
“During the operation, an emergency situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos shared in a Telegram post on Saturday.
Luna-25 launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Amur Oblast on Aug. 10 and sent its first in-space photos back to Earth on Aug. 13, including selfies with the moon and Earth in the background. The mission swiftly reached lunar orbit, a milestone that Roscosmos announced on Aug. 16.
The spacecraft's primary landing zone was a region called Boguslawski Crater, but there were two backup landing spots also available: Southwest of Manzini Crater, and south of Pentland A Crater.
