Russia has embarked on a momentous space endeavor by launching its inaugural lunar probe in nearly half a century, signifying a resolute resurgence in its space exploration efforts.
Russia’s space exploration
The Luna-25 mission holds the potential to revitalize the nation’s struggling space sector, which has not only grappled with internal challenges but has also been impacted by international sanctions following the Ukrainian conflict.
This mission marks a significant stride for Moscow, resurrecting its lunar exploration endeavors that had thrived during the USSR’s pioneering era in space exploration. The rocket housing the Luna-25 probe gracefully ascended from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, as live images beamed around the globe by the Russian space agency Roscosmos showcased the spectacle.
Anticipation is now set to soar, as Roscosmos anticipates the probe’s entry into a lunar orbit at an altitude of 100 kilometers on August 16, with a momentous landing slated for August 21, north of the Boguslawsky crater.
