Russia's hope also crashed with the crashing of Luna-25 spacecraft crashing into the Moon.
It was Russia's first Moon mission in nearly half a century, and the spacecraft crashed on the lunar surface during pre-landing manoeuvres. The same was confirmed by the Russian space agency Roscosmos on Sunday.
As per Roscosmos, communication with Luna-25 was abruptly lost at 2:57 pm (11:57 GMT), leaving a trail of uncertainty. The space agency shared preliminary findings indicating that "the apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon."
"Thrust was released to transfer the probe onto the pre-landing orbit," Roscosmos said in a statement sharing details, adding: "During the operation, an emergency situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the carrying out of the manoeuvre within the specified conditions."
Russia wanted to make history with Luna-25 with a soft landing on the lunar south pole, an achievement that had never been accomplished before. Russia's last attempt to land on a celestial body dates back to 1989, 47 years ago, when the Soviet Union's Phobos 2 probe, intended to explore the moons of Mars, failed due to an onboard computer malfunction.
Now all the scientists have hope left from India's Chandryaan-3, will India be able to make land to the moon?
