Russian scientists have began processing the primary knowledge obtained on the Luna-25 spacecraft after switching on the scientific gear on board for the primary time, Russia’s area company Roscosmos mentioned on Sunday.
“Luna-25 continues its flight to the Earth’s natural satellite – all systems of the automatic station are working properly, communication with it is stable, the energy balance is positive,” Roscosmos mentioned in a press release printed on the Telegram messaging app.
Russia launched its first moon-landing spacecraft in 47 years on Friday in a bid to be the primary nation to make a tender touchdown on the lunar south pole, a area believed to carry coveted pockets of water ice.
“The first measurement data on the flight to the Moon has been obtained, and the project’s scientific team has begun processing it,” Roscosmos mentioned.
