Russia's first moon mission in 47 years failed after its Luna-25 spacecraft spun out of control and smashed into the moon, Russia's state space corporation Roskosmos said on Sunday. The agency added that it had lost contact with the craft shortly after a problem occurred as the craft was shunted into pre-landing orbit on Saturday.

Space expert and owner of the Telegram channel "Dobriy Ovchinnikov" Ilya Ovchinnikov said that the failure of Russia's Luna-25 space mission is unlikely to be perceived as a huge setback and that the team that worked on it will be learning from their mistakes.

Roskosmos said it had lost contact with the craft at 11:57 GMT on Saturday. after a problem as the craft was shunted into pre-landing orbit. A soft landing had been planned for Monday.

Russia's state space corporation said a special inter-departmental commission had been formed to investigate the reasons behind the loss of the Luna-25 craft, whose mission had raised hopes in Moscow that Russia was returning to the big power moon race.
