MOSCOW (AP) Russias Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after it spun into an uncontrolled orbit, the countrys Roscosmos space agency said Sunday.


The pilotless spacecraft was aiming to be the first ever to land on the south pole of the moon, an area where scientists believe there could be important reserves of frozen water and precious elements. It had been expected to land Monday.


However, Roscosmos said it lost contact with the Luna-25 on Saturday after the spacecraft ran into difficulties and reported an abnormal situation .


The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon, read a statement from the agency.

I believe that it's been a good while, but haven't they sent rovers to the moon before?

This would have been the first time a rover touched down on the moon's south pole. India is scheduled to land a rover there within the week and Russia was basically sprinting to the finish line to claim they did it first.

After what we've seen with their war with Ukraine, I'm surprised it left the launch pad.

At least it didn't crash into an apartment building or a school. Probably.

*facepalm*

Does getting there first really matter if they can't actually explore it?

Does a crumpled, inert heap serve the same purpose as flag being planted? lol

Seems like they've got more important things to worry about, IMO.

They want to be able to say they were at least the second to do it only five and a half decades after the US, rather than the third.

India has a lunar spacecraft that they're trying to land tomorrow. Going to be hilarious if they pull it off.

Nice job, Russian cosmonauts! Weve got next.

The most suprising thing from the article was that the Russia spacecraft was only suppose to go into or it around Earth.

Russia has a bad reputation of failing missions that would actually be helpful to the scientific community like the Martian moon one.
