Russia's Luna-25 moon mission. the first in 47 years, fails..... SPECTACULARLY​

A Soyuz-2.1b rocket booster with a Fregat upper stage and the lunar landing spacecraft Luna-25 blasts off from a launchpad at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the far eastern Amur region, Russia, August 11, 2023.

MOSCOW, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Russia's first moonshot in nearly half a century has failed after its Luna-25 spacecraft spun out of control and smashed into the moon.

Following are details about the mission and what its failure is likely to mean.

LUNA-25​

It was Russia's first moon mission since the Soviet Union's Luna-24 returned with samples from the moon in 1976.

A Soyuz 2.1 rocket carrying the Luna-25 craft blasted off from the Vostochny cosmodrome, 3,450 miles (5,550 km) east of Moscow, at 2:11 a.m. Moscow time on Aug. 11.
The lander was boosted out of Earth's orbit toward the moon a little over an hour later. It entered the moon's orbit on Aug. 16 and was due to attempt a soft landing on Monday.

'ABNORMAL SITUATION'​

Russia's state space corporation, Roskosmos, said an "abnormal situation" occurred as mission control tried to move the craft into a pre-landing orbit at 11:10 GMT on Saturday.

It lost communication with the craft at 11:57 GMT on Saturday.

Let's be truthful russia hasn't recovered since Reagan made them bankrupt themselves just hiding their lack of advancement most of the tech is still cold war shit. While in the Navy the greatest worry wasn't the nukes hitting the US but the fallout from exploding in their own silos or the upper atmosphere right after launch.

Not the only russian explosion today either.



How they let a Ukrainian drone get 400+ miles into their airspace I will never understand

Russian MOD claimed one plane was slightly damaged

reality
