"Ceased to exist": the Russian apparatus "Luna-25" crashed on the moon-"Roscosmos"

The spacecraft, which was the hope of the Russians to return to the Earth's satellite after 50 years, could not fulfill the task. On Sunday, August 20, the message of "Roscosmos" appeared, which states that the Russian planting machine "Luna-25" crashed, crashing into the surface of the moon. On Saturday, August 19, as the focus wrote, an emergency occurred with the apparatus and it went out into an unpredictable orbit around the moon during a rapprochement with the Earth's satellite.

The Russian spacecraft was preparing for a soft landing near the South Pole of the Moon, which was to take place on Monday, August 21. But something went wrong and the connection with the apparatus was interrupted. Roscosmos experts tried in the evening of August 19 and in the morning of August 20 to find out the causes of the unforeseen situation and to establish a connection with the device "Luna-25". All these attempts were not successful.

Some users of the Russian Internet segment have already suggested that in fact, this landing module has happened something very serious, otherwise information about the breakdown would not have been made public. Some people have even suggested that you can really forget about the "moon-25", because the landing module is probably not working. As it turned out, these forecasts were true.

According to the Russian Space Agency, the "Luna-25" apparatus deviated from a given orbit during rapprochement with the moon and crashed on the surface of our satellite. Now the Russian Federation creates a special commission, which should find out the causes of the disaster. "Luna-25" for Russia was a very important spacecraft, since it has been made a similar flight to the Month of the Russian Federation for the first time since the time of the USSR.

The previous monthly planting module, "Luna-24" (it was sent by the Soviet Union) in the summer of 1976 carried out a successful landing on the moon and even delivered samples of local region to the ground. If the Russian space apparatus was able to land normally in the area of ​​the South Pole of our satellite, then Russia would become the first country to do so. But what happened. This catastrophe can seriously undermine the efforts of the Russians to study and master the moon.

But a few days later, in the same area where the landing module "Luna-25" was supposed to sit, can do a soft landing the same, but an Indian apparatus, which he has written in detail. For India, this will be the third attempt to land your landing module on the moon. And if this Asian country is lucky, it will go into the history of space research. All you have to do is wait and it is possible to make sure that the Chandraian-3 Indian mission will be more successful than Russian.
