Russian spacecraft crashes into the moon

Russia's mission to land on the moon has failed after 50 years. It was the authorities in Moscow themselves who announced that their Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon.

The unmanned spacecraft, which launched earlier this month, crashed after spinning uncontrollably in orbit, Russian space corporation Roscosmos reported on Sunday.

Russia had hoped the rover would spend a year collecting rock and dust samples after landing on the moon's south pole, which would happen on Monday.

However, the space corporation said it had lost contact with the spacecraft after it crashed following unspecified problems during pre-landing preparations.

The robot, which is about the size of a small car, entered lunar orbit on Wednesday and has since been sending back pictures of the third-deepest crater in the moon's southern hemisphere, Zeeman Crater.

The lunar south pole is of particular interest to scientists, who believe the permanently shadowed craters contain water.

Frozen water in rocks can be turned into air and rocket fuel, potentially allowing longer human journeys.

No country has ever ventured into the region before, while Russia was competing with India to make the ambitious landing, with its rival having launched its Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander last month.
