Russia’s Luna-25 lunar probe, which is on a mission to the moon’s south pole, has produced its first results, which are now being analyzed, according to a report released on Saturday by Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, Reuters reported.

The agency published pictures of the Zeeman crater on the moon, obtained by the Luna-25 probe, which is scheduled to be selenized in the South Pole area on Monday after it will be in the orbit of the Earth’s natural satellite for 5 days.

Zeeman Crater is the third deepest crater in the southern hemisphere of the Moon, with a diameter of 190 kilometers and a depth of 8 kilometers.

Roscosmos said that the data obtained so far provided information about the chemical elements in the lunar soil. The Russian space agency also said that the Luna-25 probe also recorded a collision with a micrometeorite.

The Luna-25 probe was launched into lunar orbit on Wednesday, a major step forward in Russia’s plan to make the first controlled descent to the moon’s south pole as part of a mission to search for frozen water. The new mission, launched on August 11, is the first since the lunar probe Luna-24 in 1976.

“Luna-25” weighs 800 kilograms and has the dimensions of a car.

The landing will be filmed so that geophysicists and geologists can study in detail the properties of the regolith (the rocky layer that covers the surface of the Moon), the strength of the soil and other important features of the structure of the Moon. The data obtained in this way will allow the creation of more accurate satellites in the future and contribute to better planning of experimental tasks.
