Luna-25 Moon Lander Failure: Russia Identifies Root Cause

Russia's Luna-25 moon lander crashed into the moon due to a failure in the onboard control unit, which did not receive necessary data from one of the accelerometers. The failure won't deter Russia's lunar exploration program, as they plan to launch three follow-on missions in the coming years. India's Chandrayaan-3 mission claimed the title of being the first to land in the moon's south polar region, just four days after Luna-25's crash.
