It was carried into Earth orbit by a Soyuz-2 Fregat rocket.

The spacecraft then fired its Fregat upper stage to go into a lunar transfer orbit.

The original landing date for Luna 25 was August 21, 2023.

However, the spacecraft experienced a problem with its landing system during its approach to the Moon.

As a result, it crashed into the lunar surface on August 19, 2023.

Here are some of the reasons why Luna 25 crashed:

– The spacecraft's landing system malfunctioned.

– The spacecraft was not able to slow down enough to land safely.

– The spacecraft hit a rock or other object on the lunar surface.

The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation. However, the failure of Luna 25 is a reminder of the challenges of landing on the Moon.
