TASS reported on Aug. 13 that the scientific instruments aboard Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft were successfully activated under space flight conditions, and also successfully executed its first space flight trajectory correction. All systems are operating normally and communication is stable.
TASS explained: “The Luna-25 mission aims to test a soft landing on the surface of the Earth’s natural satellite. The automatic station can become the first mission to land on the Moon’s South Pole. The station will study the internal structure and explore natural resources, including water, and will also study the impact of cosmic rays and electromagnetic radiation on the Moon’s surface.
