Russia is to launch its first mission to the moon in almost 50 years

Russia is set to undertake its first lunar mission in nearly five decades this Friday, setting the stage for a celestial rivalry with India, which is also aiming to land a lunar craft within this month.

The upcoming launch of the Luna-25 spacecraft marks Russia’s first lunar endeavor since 1976, during the era of the Soviet Union.

Notably, this mission is being executed independently, as the European Space Agency terminated its collaboration with Russia following its intervention in Ukraine, the Associated Press has reported.
