According to information received from the source, one of the probable causes of the accident of the Russian Luna-25 station could be a malfunction of the Bius-L device, designed to measure orientation and acceleration. According to RIA Novosti, this device has not previously been tested in outer space. It is designed to determine the position of the station and helps set the flight speed by transmitting relevant data to the computer. However, the final conclusion about the causes of the crash of Luna-25 will be made by the emergency commission.
On August 19, the interplanetary station Luna-25 entered an unintended orbit and collided with the surface of the Moon. The station was launched on August 11 from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on a Soyuz-2.1b rocket with a Fregat upper stage. It was planned that it would land in the area of the Boguslavsky crater near the south pole of the Moon.
