MOSCOW, Aug 21 Russian engineers have to practically re-master the technology of flying to the moon due to the fact that such missions were interrupted by almost 50 years, said on Monday Director General of Roskosmos Yury Borisov on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
«
» I think that the negative experience of interrupting the lunar program for almost 50 years, this is the main reason for the failures. In fact, we have to master all technologies in a new way, of course, at a new technological level, but no one ever gives 100% guarantees of such missions,» Borisov said.
As Roscosmos reported earlier, last Saturday on board the station «Luna-25» after switching on the propulsion system for braking before transferring to the pre-landing orbit, an emergency situation occurred. As a result, the station collided with the surface of the Earth's natural satellite.
