It was a mission to elevate Russia's standing both at home and in space.
But the Luna-25 spacecraft failed to stick its landing.
The crash is raising questions about Moscow's space programme, particularly as Russia becomes more isolated from the west.
Competition is relentless.
Along with Russia - China, India and the United States are all looking to explore whether there is ice - and other resources - on the south pole of the moon.
So, how big a set-back has the Kremlin suffered?
And what does it mean for rival programmes and business ventures out of this world?

Presenter: Laura Kyle

Guests:

Steve Maran - a retired astronomer at NASA and astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Steve is also author of the guidebook 'Astronomy for Dummies'.
Anil Kumar Bhatt - retired Lieutenant General in the Indian army and Director General, Indian Space Association.
