Luna 25 Crashed On Moon

Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the Moon after it lost contact with ground control. The unmanned craft was Russia's first mission to the Moon in nearly 50 years, and it was scheduled to make a soft landing on the lunar south pole. Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, said that the spacecraft had entered an "unpredictable orbit" and "ceased to exist" as a result of a collision with the lunar surface. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but Roscosmos said that it may have been caused by a problem with the spacecraft's propulsion system. The main purpose of Luna-25 was to test technology for landing on the moon, and the loss of the lander during a less risky phase of the mission will add scrutiny to Russia’s space struggles.

Luna 25 budget $200 million
CHANDRAYAN 3 budget $75 million

*PROUD TO BE INDIAN ❤ But we are also sad for the failure of Russia's Luna 25*

The lander crashed after performing a maneuver called a “Hohmann Transfer.” This means that the craft used its engines to change its orbit (in this case, to slow itself down). This slower orbiting speed was intended to lower the lander’s orbit in preparation for the actual landing.

Mind you, this Hohmann transfer is a completely normal part of any lunar landing. Only one slight issue: too much thrust was imparted on the vessel. It’s orbit was longer an orbit, but a crash trajectory. They had slowed down too much.

Slow and steady wins the race. Congratulations to Indias chandrayaan successful mission.

Just what seemed to have happened with Chandrayaan 2.Russia will achieve it next time! All the best my Russian friends. Love from 🇮🇳

Not crashed, this is the first step, placing a sophisticated computer on moon to learn and guide their next mission.

India can never forget the association and assistance of Russia in our long space mission journey since 1975. We celebrate our success with our Russian brothers. If Luna 25 landed successfully, we would have celebrated the same with our Russian brothers.

Well, congratulations to us Indian Chandrayaan 3 just landed on the moon south pole just 5 minutes ago 🎉

[starwale]

Chandrayan-3 finally soft landed🥳 on the LUNAR south pole 🛰️... Proud to be an Indian 🇮🇳

Russia has a huge contribution in making the Indian space program a success.

RIP Major Tom, ground control won’t be the same without your voice.

Chandrayann have successfully landed on southern point of moon #success #softlanding ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
