The recent setback experienced by Russia's Luna-25 mission to the Moon earlier this month was addressed by the Kremlin on Tuesday. Despite the mission's failure, the Kremlin adopted an optimistic stance, emphasizing the importance of persevering with Russia's ongoing space exploration program.

During a press briefing, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for the Kremlin, expressed that the occurrence should not be a cause for despair or extreme frustration. He conveyed the perspective that the incident should instead serve as an opportunity for thorough analysis and subsequent improvement. Peskov highlighted the need to carefully scrutinize the underlying reasons for the failure and take necessary measures to rectify them before the next attempt.

Luna-25, which marked Russia's return to lunar exploration after a significant gap of nearly five decades since 1976, encountered a crash on August 19 due to a failed orbital maneuver. The incident had reverberations internationally, with some perceiving it as a notable setback for the Russian space program. In a contrasting development, an Indian spacecraft successfully executed a lunar landing only a few days after Luna-25's crash.

Peskov underscored the unwavering commitment to moving forward despite the challenges. He conveyed that the primary focus remains on ensuring continuity and momentum in the country's space aspirations. The ambitious plans that Russia has set for its space endeavors will persist despite the recent setback. The spokesperson conveyed this sentiment, emphasizing the intention to carry on with determination and an aspiration to overcome obstacles in the pursuit of space exploration.
