almost 50 years and marked the beginning of Moscow&#8217;s new lunar project.<\/p>\n<p>On August 16 the lander was successfully placed in the Moon&#8217;s orbit but on Sunday, space agency Roscomos announced it had &#8220;ceased to exist following a collision with the Moon&#8217;s surface&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Measures taken on August 19 and 20 to locate the craft and make contact with it were unsuccessful,&#8221; the agency added.<\/p>\n<p>It had been set to land on the Moon&#8217;s surface on Monday and remain there for one year to collect samples and analyze soil.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin has been working to strengthen space cooperation with China after ties with the West broke down following the start of Moscow&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow had hoped to build on the legacy of the Soviet-era Luna program, marking a return to independent lunar exploration in the face of financial troubles and corruption scandals at its space program and growing isolation from the West.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div
