After spinning out of control, Russia's unmanned Luna-25 spacecraft collided with the Moon. Russia's first Moon mission in nearly 50 years.

The craft was intended to be the first to land on the Moon's south pole, but it failed due to issues encountered as it went into its pre-landing orbit. It was designed to study a region of the Moon where scientists believe there may be frozen water and rare materials.

Roscosmos, Russia's official space organisation, said it had lost touch with the Luna-25 and suspected it had "ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon."

Roscosmos has suffered a setback with the loss of Luna-25. For long years, Russia's civilian space effort has been in decline.

Roscosmos has suffered a setback with the loss of Luna-25. Russia's civilian space programme has been declining for several years, as state financing has shifted more towards the military.
