He said the difficulties aboard the Russian space station “Luna-25” began before the device even tried to enter pre-landing orbit, so the maneuver had to be aborted. DEA News Natan Eismont is Principal Investigator of the Institute for Space Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI).
“There were problems, I will say carefully, there are calculated things but it’s not what it seems… If our deviation turns out to be a little higher than we expected,” said the scientist.
According to him, in this case the transition to pre-landing orbit would have been delayed and there would have been “nothing terrible” in that. Eismont noted that the next decision on the Luna-25 was “not the best”.
On 11 August, the Soyuz 2.1b rocket with the local lunar station on board was launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome. Five days later, the device entered lunar orbit. Luna-25 was expected to enter pre-landing orbit on August 19 and land on the Moon’s South Pole on August 21.
However, on August 19, Roscosmos knowledgeable “Luna” anomalous and on August 20 the station entered an undesigned orbit, collided with the Moon, and stoped its existence.
