Roscosmos, which is Russian space science and has issued a statement on August 20 where they reported the following:
“On August 19, in accordance with the Luna 25 spacecraft flight schedule, a boost was provided for pre-landing elliptical orbit.At approximately 14:57 Moscow time, communication with the Luna 25 spacecraft was interrupted.
The efforts made on August 19 and 20 to search for the device and make contact with it gave us no results. According to the results of a preliminary analysis, due to the deviation of the real parameters of the calculated impulse, the ship changed to an orbit not planned and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the lunar surface.
A specially formed interdepartmental commission will deal with issues of clarifying the reasons for the loss of the moon 25.”
