Moscow –
The Luna-25 probe, Russia’s first moon mission in almost 50 years, has crashed on the moon after an incident during pre-landing maneuvers, Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Sunday.
Communication with Luna-25 was lost at 2:57 pm on Saturday, Roscosmos said.
According to preliminary findings, the lander “has ceased to exist following a collision with the moon’s surface.”
