The Russian Academy of Sciences has proposed to Roscosmos to create two "Luna-27" spacecraft in order to increase the chances of completing the mission, said the head of the Roscosmos corporation, Yuri Borisov.
We are considering their proposal, but nevertheless, 2028 is definitely within the timeframe
The landing site for "Luna-27" will be determined by "Luna-26". Its launch is scheduled for 2027. According to Borisov, the crash of "Luna-25" upset the staff of NPO Lavochkin. He advised employees not to worry, but to work hard.
"Luna-25" was supposed to be delivered to Earth's satellite by the "Soyuz-2.1b" launch vehicle. The rocket was launched from Vostochny on August 11. The Mission Control Center lost contact with "Luna-25" before landing. Later it turned out that the device crashed into the surface of the planet.
