The head of the state company, Yuri Borisov, said that the Academy of Sciences proposed the creation of two satellites (Luna-27a and Luna-27b) to guarantee the implementation of the event.
This proposal is currently under review, but the planned launch date of 2028 has not changed.
The landing area of the Luna-27 spacecraft will be determined by the Luna-26 orbital station, on which work continues at full speed.
The launch of Luna 26 is planned for 2027. This decision followed the unsuccessful launch of Luna-25, which took off from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on August 11 and lost contact after giving an impulse to establish a pre-landing orbit, resulting in a collision with the surface of the Moon. .
Let us recall that the Luna-25 crash was associated with the abnormal functioning of the onboard control complex, in particular, the failure to turn on the accelerometer unit in the BIUS-L device.
