Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft crashes on Moon - BBC News
Russia's unmanned Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon after spinning out of control. It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.
The craft was designed to be the first ever to land on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering problems as it moved into its pre-landing orbit. It was set to explore a part of the Moon which scientists think could hold frozen water and precious elements.
Roscosmos, Russia's state space corporation, announced that it had lost contact with the Luna-25 and believed the craft had "ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon”.
The loss of Luna-25 is a blow to Roscosmos. Russia's civilian space programme has been in decline for several years, as state funding is increasingly directed towards the military.
