Russia Luna-25 spacecraft: The Luna-25 spacecraft had an emergency scenario above the Moon, according to the Russian space agency Roscosmos, and teams are investigating the issue. “Today, in accordance with the flight program, at 14:10 Moscow time, the automatic station Luna-25 gave an impulse to transfer to the pre-landing orbit. 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 said, according to a translated statement.
Roscosmos Investigates Luna-25 Emergency as Management Takes Charge
The management team is presently examining the problem, it was said. Roscosmos has not yet commented on the Moon’s south polar zone landing attempt that was anticipated to occur before India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission. On August 11, the Luna-25 successfully launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East.
Vostochny Spaceport Aims to Propel Russia into Space Supremacy
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s pet project, the spaceport is essential to his attempts to transform Russia into a space superpower and relocate Russian rockets from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After achieving lunar orbit earlier this week, it had been circling the Moon ever since. The Luna-25 will collect lunar rock and dust samples. Before constructing any base on the moon, it is essential to understand its climate, according to Bloomer. If not, “we could be building things and having to shut them down six months later because everything has essentially been sandblasted.” Scientists are particularly interested in the lunar south pole because they think water may be present in the continuously shadowed polar craters.
