Russia says moon shot failed due to control unit malfunction
Tuesday, 3 October 2023 Russia's first lunar mission in 47 years crashed into the moon in August due to a malfunction in the on-board control unit, according to Roscosmos. The control unit failed to turn off the propulsion system, causing it to blast for longer than necessary. The failure highlights the decline of Russia's space power since the Cold War. The Kremlin, however, has downplayed the incident and stated that Russia will continue to pursue ambitious plans in space.
