Rank 20 documents Luna 25 — Russia's first lunar mission since Luna 24 in 1976 and the nation's opening bid to join the south pole landing race that includes Chandrayaan-3, Artemis, and Chinese Chang'e programmes. Launched 11 August 2023 aboard Soyuz-2.1b with Fregat upper stage from Vostochny Cosmodrome, the Lavochkin-built lander targeted Boguslawsky crater near the lunar south pole with a 1,750-kilogramne modern four-leg platform carrying imaging systems, a robotic sampling arm, and plasma sensors. An orbital anomaly during descent led to surface impact on 19 August 2023 rather than the planned soft landing — a setback that nonetheless marked Russia's return to active lunar exploration after nearly five decades. Wallimilist renders the four-leg lander on shadowed polar terrain, Vostochny pad tower in background, ledger-frame cream layout with LUNA 25 slab title, FIRST RUSSIAN MOON MISSION SINCE 1976 kicker, and ATTEMPTED SOUTH POLE LANDING footer exactly as the master PNG dictates — Roscosmos logo, Luna 25 mission emblem, specimen data bands, and curator copy on lunar return heritage.
