Russia has successfully launched its first moon-landing spacecraft in nearly five decades with the goal of being the first to achieve a soft landing on the lunar south pole. The spacecraft, Luna-25, was launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome in Russia’s Amur region. It is set to touch down on the moon on August 23. This lunar mission comes as India, the United States, and China also have advanced lunar exploration programs underway. The south pole of the moon is of particular interest due to its potential water ice reserves, which could be used for various purposes such as extracting fuel, oxygen, and drinking water. Luna-25 will spend five to seven days in lunar orbit before descending to land near the pole. The mission is expected to last for a year and will conduct experiments to test for the presence of frozen water. With this launch, Russia aims to further explore and harness the resources of the moon, a goal shared by nations around the world.
