Failed Luna-25 had aimed to mark Russia's return to moon after 47 years August 20, 2023 at 10:48AM

Russian space agency Roscosmos said it lost contact with the spacecraft at 11.57 GMT on Saturday after it reported a glitch while going into its pre-landing orbit. "During the operation, an abnormal situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the manoeuvre to be performed," it said.
