For the first time, the autonomous landing of Luna-25 will fly to the month in 2021 in 2021 Roscosmos a year before the planned event. In 2021, the launch date was postponed to the next year, but in 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine and perhaps it influenced the fact that the launch was again postponed to 2023.

By the way, the European Space Agency has created a special chamber "Pilot-D", which should be located on the Russian spacecraft. But in April last year, in response to the invasion of the Russian Federation, this camera was removed from the mission. For Russia, launching a month of landing "Luna-25", which has been created for many years, is very important. It is the first such apparatus created in Russia after the collapse of the USSR, which should fly to the satellite of the Earth.

The Soviet Union was able to send its last lunar apparatus "Luna-24" in 1976. Of course, Russia has its plans for mastering the moon, but as recent events show, their implementation is not successful. Initially, Luna-25 had to go on board the Soyuz-2. 1B missiles from the Eastern spaceport on July 13, 2023. But according to the recent message of Roscosmos, the launch was postponed to an indefinite date in August.

The Russian Space Agency stated that the latest land tests are currently being conducted, which include modeling the most important stage of the mission - successful landing of the spacecraft on the surface of the moon. When (and if) the landing machine "Luna-25" will fly a month, it will land in the area of ​​its South Pole. According to the plan, the life of the Earth's satellite will be at least a year.

This apparatus is designed to study the surface of the moon, the composition and structure of its cortex, as well as for the study of lunar region (monthly dust). Earlier, Focus already wrote about how two Russian astronauts were "distinguished" while entering the Open Space from the ISS. The Russians also decided to be smiled in space. Focus also wrote that in Russia they made a decision not to stop cooperation at the ISS for another 5 years, and then leave the space station.

Although the orbital station itself must work until 2030. As the focus of Russia has already wrote, when it won the war against Ukraine, it caused significant damage to its space sector. Due to sanctions against the Russian Federation, many countries of the world have refused cooperation with the aggressor country. At the same time, as focus has already written, NASA continues to successfully implement its monthly Artemis program.
