Russia reported an “abnormal situation” Saturday on its moon-bound Luna-25 spacecraft, which launched earlier this month.
The country’s space agency, Roscosmos, said the spacecraft ran into unspecified trouble while trying to enter a pre-landing orbit, and that its specialists were analyzing the situation. “During the operation, an abnormal situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram post. Roscosmos did not specify whether the incident will prevent Luna-25 from making a landing. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/russian-spacecraft-suffers-abnormal-situation-on-way-to-moons-south-pole/3320133/ |

If you use anything which might cause intoxication or be used for huffing for propellant, expect it to be siphoned off by the workers.

Doesn't India have one scheduled for landing soon?
As above: Yes. |

So an "abnormal situation" in Russia is that the Lunar vessel left the launch pad intact? Good Luck Dr. Zhivago and bring me back some of that cheese from up there.

Fun fact, the Soviet/Russian Luna missions have had a 34% success rate since 1958.
So, average mission. |

Comrades. We have landed on the moon.
...but there is a nuance. |

I wonder what effect sanctions have had on importing space-grade electronics in this incident.

Back in the day I was going through the "missiles to space" transition course, after they merged the two career fields. I'll never forget the intro to the course. Instructor walks in, and says "I'm going to tell you two truths that you can't ever forget. Space... is BIG. Lots of empty space in...space. Space... is HARD. Not every country can do it at all, let alone well." Luna 1-25 has proven that, in spades. It's funny that US missions are only remembered for the failures, they happen so infrequently they make international news. |

Success rate is right on par with Titan; 34%, not great not terrible.
