Russia’s Luna-25 moon lander prepares for historic touchdown

[ad_1]

Russia is readying for its first landing on the moon in nearly 50 years.

The Luna-25 lander is scheduled to touch down as soon as Sunday (Aug. 21) on a patch of the moon’s south pole in a spot that is likely filled with water ice. The exact timing of landing has not yet been released. Should it make it down safely, the mission is expected to look for ice and do other science for roughly one Earth year.
