Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon after spinning into an uncontrolled orbit, officials say.
The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon’s south pole, but failed after encountering issues as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.
It was Russia’s first Moon mission in almost 50 years.
The spacecraft was scheduled to land on Monday to explore a part of the Moon which scientists think could hold frozen water and precious elements.
Roskosmos, Russia’s state space corporation, said it lost contact with the Luna-25 shortly after running into difficulties.
LMAOOOOOO
Seems like russian science is as shit as russian military
Well then they just send 1000 probes and I’m sure one will work eventually
Nah, it’s roskosmos being roskosmos. I’m surprised it didn’t explode mid-air.
Roskosmos is usually pretty competent.
I mean, they helped build the ISS (and a lot more) and have sent a lot people up there for YEARS without any fatalities.
^^^and ^^^no ^^^I ^^^dont’t ^^^like ^^^Russia.
Shouldve got a nazi scientist to make their rockets like the yanks did to get to the moon!
