TL;DR Summary

Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft has successfully reached lunar orbit, marking the country's first moon mission since 1976. The spacecraft is in good condition, and its systems are functioning normally. Luna-25 is scheduled to attempt a landing near the moon's south pole in the next five to seven days, where it will study the area for the next year and search for water ice. India's Chandrayaan 3 probe is also planning a lunar landing in the same area around the same time, while NASA aims to land humans on the moon's south pole in the future.
