One of the countries’ efforts to reach the Moon was unsuccessful. The Luna-25 mission, announced by Russia in 2015, failed. The Russians were planning to land on the south pole of the Moon with this space mission and conduct research there, but the plans fell through after the accident.
The Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), which launched the Luna-25 spacecraft on August 11, aimed to make a successful landing on the lunar surface. The robotic spacecraft would search for evidence in what was thought to be ice-covered after landing on the Moon’s surface. In fact, the mission was important because if water is found on the Moon, a new era of space wars will begin. So much so that countries will not have to carry water from the Earth in the bases they plan to establish on the Moon, you can guess how important this is.
Luna-25, which crashed into the lunar surface, became unusable
Initial information about the failure of the Luna-25 mission was served up through Russian media sources, but Roscosmos made the announcement hours later. “Luna-25 entered an unpredictable orbit and became unusable as a result of colliding with the Moon’s surface,” officials said. they made a statement. Interestingly, access to Roscosmos’s website is currently down. If you try to reach the link here, you will get a 403 error.
Although Russia could not reach the Moon this time, an important development took place in 1966. The Soviet Union collected soil samples from the Moon with a spacecraft sent to the Moon in those years, and managed to bring these samples to Earth. The country has not been able to successfully go to the Moon since then. Russian officials have not made a statement as to when they will repeat the failed space mission, at least for the time being.
