Landing on the moon is hard.
Russia lost its Luna-25 moon lander after it “ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon,” according to Russian state space corporation Roscosmos. Mission planning began in 2015, and a landing would’ve been the country’s first since 1976.
Next up: India’s Chandrayaan-3, which made lunar orbit this month, will try for a landing this week.
