Luna-25 mission a fails: The Luna-25, Russia’s ambitious lunar mission, has experienced a significant setback after spinning out of control and colliding with the Moon’s surface. As the nation’s governmental space corporation, Roskosmos, reported the terrible tragedy, this signals a disappointing conclusion to Russia’s first moon trip in almost fifty years.
On Saturday, while the Luna-25 spacecraft was being sent into its pre-landing orbit, it suffered a catastrophic malfunction shortly after a crucial manoeuvre. Roskosmos announced in a statement that contact with the spacecraft had been lost because of an unexpected problem during this crucial part of the mission.
In their official statement, Roskosmos conveyed the tragic conclusion of the Luna-25 mission: “The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon.” The scientific and space communities around the world are in disbelief following this abrupt and unexpected conclusion, which represents a serious setback for Russia’s aspirations for space exploration.
A key component of Russia’s plans to revive its lunar exploration programme was the Luna-25 mission. The spacecraft was made to land on the south pole of the moon, which is of great interest to researchers because it may contain water ice, an essential resource that could be essential for upcoming human expeditions to the Moon and beyond.
The unsuccessful mission was intended to pave the way for more complex lunar endeavours, such as the collection and return of lunar soil samples, by laying the groundwork for the following Luna-26 and Luna-27 missions.
After over 50 years since the last successful Soviet lunar mission, Roskosmos had first described the Luna-25 mission as a crucial turning point in Russia’s space exploration history. The incident has not only crushed these goals, but it has also sparked debate on the technological difficulties and unforeseeable difficulties that space agencies encounter while attempting such difficult tasks.
Chandrayan-3, Vikram lander will try to touchdown on August 23 at 6:04 PM: In India’s vital Moon mission, which launched from Earth on July 14, the Vikram lander module of Chandrayaan-3 successfully carried out the second and final deboosting manoeuvre on Saturday, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation.
The lander module will then go through internal checks and wait for sunrise at the planned landing spot before attempting a soft touchdown on the lunar south pole on Wednesday.
