Russian lunar probe Luna-25 failed to land on the moon. On Saturday, August 19, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) reported that Luna-25 had collided with the lunar surface and crashed.
Luna-25 was Russia's first lunar mission in 47 years. It was supposed to land on the moon's south pole, where it was supposed to look for frozen water and other valuable resources.
The reason why Luna-25 failed to land is still unknown. However, Roscosmos said that the vehicle lost contact with the agency due to some disturbances during landing.
The failure of Luna-25 was a major blow to Russia's space program. It could also delay Russia's plans for a lunar mission.
The failure of Luna-25 is also a warning to other space agencies around the world. It shows that a lunar mission is still a challenging task, and that even the most experienced space agencies can fail.
The failure of Luna-25 is a major setback for Russia, but it is not the end of Russia's space program. Russia is still planning to land on the moon, and it is expected to succeed eventually.
