As it hurtles toward the moon, which is 384,400 kilometers from our Earth, the scientific instruments were officially activated first data on the flight measured, according to the source.
Luna 25 aiming to operate for a year on the moon’s south pole where scientists in NASA and other space agencies discovered traces of water ice in the region’s shadowed craters. It is a scientific achievement in Russia for a successful mission of launching its first data on the Luna 25 craft.
