Russia’s space agency said in a social media post that the issue occurred while its Luna 25 lander was completing a maneuver to put it on course for its touchdown.

The Luna 25 spacecraft reported an “emergency situation on board,” Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, said on Saturday.

An incident occurred as the spacecraft was trying to enter a pre-landing orbit, according to Roscosmos.

“During the operation, an emergency situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram post.

    The Russian Lander approches the lunar surface. Pieces of it are rattling and shaking as it makes it way in. Huge chunks of paint have fallen off, revealing the skin of a Lebedenko Tank underneath and a Jerry-rigged Ukrainian toilet

    Russian Government: " We have lost contact with the greatest lander ever made. This is obviously the handmarks of Westren jealousy."
