Luna-25, the Russian spacecraft, crashed on the Moon ahead of the landing attempt, putting an end to big plans that Moscow for the lunar surface ahead of Earth and sending the humans to an unforgiving world. This spacecraft, luna-25, is designed to study the world of the Moon, that was not been explored yet. But unfortunately, it failed before land. Know why the crash of luna-25 on the Moon causes a big loss to the world.
What the luna-25 mission aim
The luna-25 mission aimed to find if the area had some elements required to create water. It was designed to gather samples from 15 centimetres below to surface and conduct in situ analysis. The findings ushered in the new world of chemistry and astrobiology. Countries like Japan, the US, Europe, and China plan to conquer Moon in their ways, from China chang crafts to Artemis missions.
The findings are beneficial to people. All eyes are on India now, which is on the cusp of landing the chandrayaan-3 spacecraft in the same area. An endeavour challenging, but ISRO has shown it so far and learned from chandrayaan-2 because they are confident that Vikram will surely land.
Luna-25 mission failed
Before landing on the Moon, the luna-25 mission failed because of glitches. This mishap occurs during the pre-landing process above to lunar surface. As the mission was declared to be failed, the Russian space agency, roscosmas, said that the communication process with Luna-25 was interrupted above Moscow time at 14:57.
The measures were taken on 19 and 20 August to search for the device and come in contact with it, but they did not give any results. Because of the deviation of parameters of impulse from calculated parameters, the device switched to orbit off design and exits because of collision with the lunar surface.
Why was the luna-25 crash a big blow to the world?
Even the loss of the luna-25 crash is personal for President Vladimir Putin and Moscow, who pushed the launch of the developed cosmodrome on Russian soil, but the effects of this crash loss will be felt in the world. Earth is planning to deploy the major challenge against the Moon and send humans not only for research but to stay in an unforgiving world before pushing the launch of luna-25 to Mars after unexplored the south pole of the Moon.
The south pole of the Moon is intriguing because of evidence of water that was found by chandrayaan-1 of India back in 2008. The area is believed to hold reserves of ice crystals that are processed to produce water that will be important for the survival of astronauts.
Roscosmos efforts
The Russian space agency, roscosmos, take action immediately to find and establish communication with spacecraft again. In spite of their efforts, they are not able to come in touch with the Luna-25 spacecraft. There is an investigation conducted by roscosmos to understand the crash’s cause, but the real reasons are not found yet.
Affect and reactions
The lunar mission of India, chandryaan-3 set to make a landing soon at the south pole of the Moon. But unfortunately, the Luna-25 crash is considered a setback for the space exploration dreams of Russia. People from all over the world sent words of encouragement.
