According to him, the devices did not work and did not transmit the information necessary to turn off the engine.
“We are now investigating the details of why we did not get involved,” Borisov said.
He noted that the commission is currently examining 16 possible causes of the accelerometer malfunction. 11 of them have already been reviewed.
The investigation into the cause of the accident is expected to conclude by the end of September.
The mission with the automatic station “Luna-25” was launched on August 11. The station was to land near the south pole of the Earth satellite.
However, on August 19, communication with the “Moon” was lost, and it soon ceased to exist, colliding with the surface of the satellite.
