You are 55 years too late. This photo was taken by the Soviet spacecraft Zond-7 in 1969:PapaDragon wrote:

As for Luna-25, its television complex intended for survey shooting was joint with ESA, and, according to their unquestioning demands, it was removed from the onboard equipment as sanctions.
So, although Luna-25 has its own video cameras for monitoring the landing and filming on the Moon, they will only be used during landing.

Who the f*ck cares what their demands are? Finders keepers.
Is Roscosmos still co-operating with the ESA, and if so then why?

One of the more loathsome aspects of this conflict is the shut down of scientific work between Russia and the west. Academia has behaved pretty horrifically in many circumstances.

Luna-25 took the first picture with the camera of the STS-L service television system!

Reminds me of that Canadian astronaut who just didn't know when to STFU tweeting against Roscosmos and Russian cosmonauts at the start of the SMO. Moralising like there was no tomorrow. Lord save us from such cooperation

Agreed. The fcking kraut b'stards turned off the e-Rosita X-ray telescope on the Spektr-RG observatory, currently sitting at the Sun-Earth L2 point. Its a world class observatory but its hamstrung and can now only do narrow-angle high energy investigations with the Russian ART-XC scope cuz those feckless nazi cnts turned off its primary wide-angle scope...
Fortunately e-Rosita had already completed its initial all-sky survey and the results had been published, but that was sheer luck. Damn the kraut establishment to the deepest pit of hell.

That's just stupid. Roscosmos is indeed infiltrated with traitor filth. How the f*ck did they allow such control from a partner.
All control of any Russian spacecraft has to be Russian.

This conflict has solved the problem... even when it ends and the Europeans want to get cheap energy and piggy back on the Russian space projects I don't think the Russians will want to play with the kid who throws tantrums and goes home with the ball when his mother calls.

Luna-25 should enter lunar orbit over the next few hours.

As long as western "scientists" are not bowing down to scientific measures and integrity but to activism and proclaiming by "scientists" that there are an infinite amount of genders, (human induced) climate change, pharmaceutical purposeful contamination of vaccines and other medicaments with mercury and other substances, as long as they are actively participating in WHO and philanthropist's dreams like Bill Gates and such goals as long they need to be kept away from any functioning society.

"Luna-25" entered the orbit of an artificial satellite of the Moon!
This was ensured by two switching on of the propulsion system of the automatic station. The first activation was performed at 11:57 Moscow time by a corrective braking engine and lasted 243 seconds, the second - by soft landing engines and lasted 76 seconds.
For the first time in the modern history of Russia, an automatic station at 12:03 Moscow time was launched into the orbit of an artificial satellite of the Moon!
All Luna-25 systems are functioning normally, communication with it is stable. Sessions are being taken to measure the current navigational parameters.

Oh, there will definitely be mourning on the Nasaspaceflight forum now - they were so hoping for an accident, they had already written so many nasty things about this mission there.

None of these 'scientific partners' have had anything nice to say, honestly
Russia's Luna 25 is named as a successor to Luna 24 which landed on the moon back in 1976, but there's no link here, it's a vastly different spacecraft, completely different people involved and of course lacks critical partnerships that made the Soviet program successful (i.e. Ukraine).
Over the years the Russian Luna program worked with Japan, India and Europe, but now all those collaborations are dead due to lack of funding, fading confidence in Russia's competence and sanctions in the wake of Russia's invasion of foreign territories.

This moron thinks that Luna-25 is the first Russian mission in deep space since Phobos-Grunt. He apparently does not know about the Spektr-R, Spektr-RG, and ExoMars missions, each of which was completely successful for Russia.

Seriously though, don't jinx it
It's not a success just yet. There's still the landing to get through

Or all those devices the Americans had to buy from Russia for their Mars Rovers.He apparently does not know
