Ivan Moiseev, head of the Space Policy Institute, said the Luna-25 space station crashed when it crashed into the Moon due to a fault in its engine. He explained that in order to descend into orbit and land, the engine had to be shut down, but that this was not due to some kind of malfunction. The incident raises questions about the safety of future launches.
Moiseev emphasized that the reasons why the engine did not stop should be revealed and a more comprehensive investigation should be made. This event could affect plans to launch the next station to the Moon, as scientists do not have the experience and data necessary for a successful landing. The station’s next launch to the Moon, Luna-26, is scheduled for 2027.
Experts underline that the Luna 25 event makes future Moon missions more risky due to the lack of landing experience. It is important to do more research and prepare more thoroughly to reduce the likelihood of future failure.
According to preliminary data, the Luna-25 space station collided with the Moon on August 19 and lost contact. Roscosmos said that an emergency occurred during the orbital lowering operation that prevented the planned maneuver from being carried out.
