CTOnews.com, August 17 (Xinhua) Russian Moon 25 used its STS-L composite camera to capture the first image of the moon's surface after it arrived in lunar orbit.

This image reveals the unique Zeeman crater near the South Pole near the far side of the moon, with coordinates 75o south and 135o west.

The Russian space agency says Lunar 25 continues to fly in lunar orbit and all systems on board are operating normally.

▲ source: the Russian Federal Space Agency Russian Moon-25 probe was launched on August 11 from the Eastern Space launch site in the Amur region of the far East aboard a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket. It is planned to make a soft landing near the Boguslavsky crater in the lunar south pole on August 21.

This is fundamentally different from the former Soviet-era lunar probe: the Lunar-25 probe needs to make a soft landing in the complex near-polar regions, while the latter lands in the equatorial belt.

It is also the time for the country to restart its lunar mission after 47 years, the last of which dates back to the Soviet Union in 1976, when the probe was launched, the Moon-24. The plan for Moon-25 was made as early as the 1970s.
