Here's a closeup of the Luna 25 impact site. All these impacts from orbit show a faint downrange ejecta fan, not the roughly symmetrical bright ejecta expected for a natural hypervelocity impact. One very important factor here is LRO which has imaged basically the entire surface of the Moon multiple times, so there is pretty much always going to be a pre-impact image, often with similar lighting.
Tomorrow - a quick look ahead to Russia's future lunar plans.

Here we zoom in on the Luna 25 impact site. The location was shown in the context map yesterday. How do we know this is the impact site? Here is the LRO camera page on it:
https://lroc.im-ldi.com/images/1311
The location was predicted by mathematicians at the Keldysh Institute, and 2 km away is a small crater with a south-facing spray of ejecta which was not there 2 years earlier. It's what we expect, close to where we expect, so very likely to be the impact.

This map shows the crater Zeeman, location of the only images known to have been taken from orbit. Surface composition was measured by one instrument but I have not located the observation site yet. A dust detector collected data in orbit 2 days before the crash. So there was some small science return from the mission.

At last we get to Luna 25 itself. It would have been an interesting mission. Here is the NSSDCA page for it:
https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2023-118A
A robotic arm would collect a sample from a small workspace close to the lander and deliver it to the lander for analysis. This would be repeated once a month for a year. But it was not to be. Flight control issues caused a braking overburn which caused a crash northeast of the target site. This map puts it into context.

I'm showing these maps to illustrate the number of sites suggested over the last 15 years for Luna 25 and its precursors. By about 2018 the mission name was settling on Luna 25. The 3 sites shown as preferred are the final sites, shown in this map in more detail. Site 6, north of Boguslawsky, was the primary landing site for Luna 25. White outlines show safest areas in the ellipses from a 2021 study. Now we can move on to the actual mission.

The next mission was going to be Luna-Resurs (= resource), which would study potential lunar resources such as polar volatiles. Later Luna-Resurs was taken as the name of a sequence of landers and Luna-Glob was the first of them. Later still the sequence took the names Luna 25, 26, 27 and so on to show continuity with past missions. India joined for a while with an Indian rover on a Russian lander so the name Chandrayaan was used too.

🇮🇳 #India’s budgetary allocation for its space programme is $1.55bn - #NASA’s budget for the year is $25bn 💰. India spent $74m on the #Mars 🔴 orbiter #Mangalyaan and $75m on #Chandrayaan3. NASA’s #Maven orbiter had cost $582m 💰 and Russia’s #Luna25 $133m. #ISRO employs far fewer people and pays lower salaries, which makes Indian projects competitive 💪 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn9xlgnnpzvo
