Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum that Russia’s moon station project has not been abandoned and that the incident regarding Luna-25 will be analyzed. RIA News.
“This is a complex and responsible business, of course linked to high technology. We have excellent talent here. As for landing in that area where no one has ever set foot on the moon before, yes, this is of course a difficult task. Studies will continue with appropriate analysis. Of course, it is sad that the moon landing did not happen, but this does not mean that we will complete the development. “We will continue to work,” Putin said.
early Roscosmos statedNow is not the time to draw conclusions about the causes of the Luna 25 crash.
The first lunar mission in modern Russian history launched on August 11, 2023. Communication with the Luna-25 station was lost on August 19 during the impulse to create an elliptical orbit before landing. On August 20, Roscosmos reported that the station “ceased to exist” as a result of a collision with the lunar surface.
