Russia's Luna-25 has failed to enter its scheduled pre-landing orbit of the moon. The spacecraft ran into unspecified trouble while trying to enter orbit.

It was due to enter the pre-landing orbit around the same time as the Chandrayaan-3 Lander Module, but the manoeuvre was unsuccessful.

India's spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 is currently orbiting the moon and will likely attempt a landing near the pole this week. Watch the video for more.
