Russia's first moon lander in 47 years has crashed into the lunar surface, the country's space agency reported on Sunday (Aug. 20).  The Luna-25 lander, which Russia had hoped would land at the south pole of the moon as early as Monday (Aug. 21), crashed into the moon after an orbital maneuver went wrong yesterday (Aug. 19), officials with Russia's Roscosmos space agency said.  "At about 14:57 Moscow time [on Aug. 19], communication with the Luna-25 spacecraft was interrupted," Roscosmos wrote in an update on Telegram today (in Russian; translation by Google). "The measures taken on August 19 and 20 to search for the device and get into contact with it did not produce any results."

Congratulations to India for its perfect landing of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the surface of the moon this week! 🚀 🌓 🇮🇳
While the soft landing was well executed, it's equally significant that the landing took place in the moon's south polar region – an area which has not previously been explored.
This achievement was a contrast to Russia's Luna-25 craft crashing on the moon's surface a few days earlier. After the failure of Luna-25, a scientist who served as a consultant for the mission, Mikhail Marov, was rushed to the hospital.
Luna-25 crash: Russian scientist who worked on Putin’s failed moon mission rushed to hospital
Good luck to Mr. Marov! Over 40 business people, government officials, military officers, and dissidents associated with Russia have died under unusual circumstances since the start of 2022. And that doesn't include Yevgeny Prigozhin.

CNN — Japan’s “Moon Sniper” robotic explorer landed on the lunar surface, but the mission may end prematurely since the spacecraft’s solar cell is not generating electricity, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said.
The agency said it is currently receiving a signal from the lander, which is communicating as expected.
The uncrewed Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, mission landed just after 10:20 a.m. ET Friday (12:20 a.m. Saturday Japan Standard Time), according to telemetry data shared on JAXA’s live broadcast.
Currently, the lander is operating on limited battery power, only expected to last several hours.
The JAXA team is analyzing the data to determine the cause of the solar cell issue and the next steps for the lander.
It’s possible that the solar cell issue is due to the fact that the spacecraft is not pointing in the intended direction, JAXA officials said.
There is hope that as the solar angle changes on the moon, the solar cell may be able to charge again, but that may take some time and will depend on whether SLIM can survive the frigid lunar night, the team shared during a news conference.
The agency believes the mission has met the criteria to declare it a “minimum success,” because the spacecraft achieved a precise and soft lunar landing using optical navigation.
The touchdown makes Japan the third country this century — and the fifth ever — to land on the moon.
When asked to score the landing operation for SLIM, JAXA director general Dr. Hitoshi Kuninaka gave it a “60 out of 100,” while also mentioning that he is known for making “harsh comments.”
The team is also working to gather all of the scientific data obtained by the lander.
Tumblr media
The lander was able to release its two lunar rovers, LEV-1 and LEV-2.
The LEV-1 rover moves using a hopping mechanism and is equipped with wide-angle visible light cameras, scientific equipment, and antennas that allow it to communicate with Earth.
And LEV-2, also outfitted with cameras, can change shape to move across the lunar surface.
The team is receiving a signal from LEV-1 and will see whether its cameras were able to capture any images.
JAXA officials said they will not definitively confirm the status of LEV-2 until more data is received.
Tumblr media
The small-scale SLIM robotic explorer, which launched in September, goes by the nickname “Moon Sniper” because it carried new precision technology to demonstrate a “pinpoint” landing.
Previous lunar missions have been able to target and reach specific zones that spanned many kilometers, but the SLIM lander targeted a landing site that stretches just 100 meters (328 feet) across.
The lander’s “smart eyes” — an image-matching-based navigation technology — rapidly photographed the sloped lunar surface on approach and autonomously made adjustments as the spacecraft descended toward touchdown.
The JAXA team is still working to determine the accuracy of SLIM’s landing, which could take up to a month.
Moon Sniper’s journey
Tumblr media
The Moon Sniper targeted a landing site near the small Shioli crater within a lunar plain called the Sea of Nectar that was created by ancient volcanic activity and lies just south of the Sea of Tranquility, where Apollo 11 landed in 1969.
The lander is designed to briefly study rocks at the site that could reveal insights into the moon’s origin.
When meteorites and other objects strike the moon, they create craters as well as rocky debris that litters the surface.
These rocks intrigue scientists because studying them is effectively like peering inside the moon itself.
Minerals and other aspects of the rocks’ composition can potentially shed more light on how the moon formed.
Landing near the sloped, rock-strewn areas around craters is a hazardous process that most missions usually avoid, but JAXA believes its lander has the technology to touch down safely on rocky terrain.
New space race
Tumblr media
Multiple space agencies and countries have attempted moon landing missions over the past year, leading to a historic first as well as failures.
India became the fourth country — after the United States, the former Soviet Union and China — to execute a controlled landing on the moon when its Chandrayaan-3 mission arrived near the lunar south pole in August.
Meanwhile, Japanese company Ispace’s Hakuto-R lunar lander fell 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) before crashing into the moon during a landing attempt in April.
Russia’s Luna-25 also crash-landed in August during the country’s first attempt to return to the moon since the Soviet Union’s fall.
Astrobotic Technology’s Peregrine spacecraft — the first US lunar lander to launch in five decades — met a fiery end Thursday after a critical fuel leak made safely landing on the moon out of the question.
Part of the motivation behind the new lunar space race is a desire to access water trapped as ice in permanently shadowed regions at the lunar south pole.
It could be used for drinking water or fuel as humanity pushes the bounds of space exploration in the future.
This region is riddled with craters and strewn with rocks, leading to narrow landing sites.
The lightweight SLIM lander might be an effective design that could not only land in small areas of interest on the moon but also on planets such as Mars, according to JAXA.

Why Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft Crashes on Moon?
The exact cause of the crash of the Luna-25 spacecraft is still under investigation, but Roscosmos has released some preliminary information. According to the agency, the spacecraft lost contact with Earth on Saturday, August 19, 2023, shortly after it entered a pre-landing orbit around the moon. A preliminary analysis suggests that the spacecraft may have switched to an off-design orbit, which…

Russia received an unexpected shock in the field of space.
Tumblr media
Russia received an unexpected shock in the field of space. After 47 years, the country's Luna-25 spacecraft crashed on the surface of Zabili. The Russian space research agency Roscomus has released an official statement that the accident occurred when the spacecraft went into an uncontrollable orbit. It attempted to put the spacecraft into a pre-landing orbit at 11.10 am on Saturday, due for a soft landing on August 21. Unusual circumstances arose in this attempt. During the operation an abnormal condition was encountered on the automatic station. Due to this, it was not possible to complete the maneuvering process," Roscomus scientists said.
The lander sent by Russia is ready to land on the South Pole on the 21st. In this order, Luna-25 took a key maneuver on Saturday to reach the orbit before landing. During that attempt, Roscosmos detected an emergency in the spacecraft's automatic station. It said that contact with the spacecraft had already been lost...

Wie es aussieht befindet sich aktuell nicht nur der Rubel auf einer stetigen Talfahrt (in Folge des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine), auch das russische Raumfahrtprogramm hat aktuell keine Erfolge vorzuweisen. Am Nachmittag des 19. August (gegen 15:57 Uhr Moskauer Zeit) verlor die russische Raumfahrtbehörde Roscosmos, jedenfalls den Kontakt zu ihrer Raumsonde Luna-25, schon kurz davor…

^^^ What really happened. hehe 🙂🇺🇦
Seriously, don't be too surprised when Russia's missiles go WAY off course.
Putin's project to revive the glory days of the Soviet Union has not been going well.
