Russia is capable of breaking through the bottom not only on Earth: the crash of the Luna 25 module created a crater on the Moon. Photo
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has photographed a new crater on the lunar surface. It may be the result of the fall of the Russian automatic interplanetary station Luna 25, which failed to successfully complete its mission and crashed on the lunar surface.
New images were published on the official NASA website on Friday, September 1. Another fiasco of the aggressor country occurred on August 19.
A photo of the alleged crash site that resulted in the formation of this crater was captured by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft.
The LROC team compared images taken before the impact (in June 2022) and images taken afterward.
According to the report, the new crater is about 10 meters in diameter. It is located at 57.865 degrees south latitude and 61.360 degrees east longitude at an altitude of about minus 360 meters.
"Since this new crater was spotted near the likely impact point of Luna 25, the LRO team concludes that it was most likely formed as a result of this mission, rather than a natural impact," NASA said.
As OBOZREVATEL reported, Russia has suffered another setback. Its mission to the moon called Luna 25 failed. The aggressor country declared an emergency situation.
Later, the Russian Federation admitted that its mission to the Moon, which was claimed to be "historic," had completely failed. The Luna 25 spacecraft collided with the surface of the Earth's natural satellite and "ceased to exist."
