Luna-25 crashes on moon

Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, announced on Sunday that its Luna-25 spacecraft had experienced a crash on the Moon. According to reports, the robotic unmanned lander hit the moon’s surface after errant orbiting. According to the ESA, the problem started when the spacecraft was put into a pre-landing orbit and lost contact on Saturday. For the first time since the Soviet Union’s lunar exploration programme ended in 1976, Russia resumed lunar exploration with this mission.

Roscosmos explained in a telegram post that an unusual situation happened during the mission at the automated station, which prevented the planned alteration of the spacecraft’s course according to predefined parameters. The original plan was for the spacecraft to touch down on the Moon’s south pole on Monday.
