At that time, Russia was slowly preparing the <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">&#171;Luna-Globe&#187;<\/span><\/strong><\/em> lunar project. This work was carried out by the<em><strong><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences (GEOCHI)<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, and its task was to <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">study the internal structure of the Moon using penetrators<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. Penetrators are impact probes that were supposed to penetrate the lunar soil at high speed at three or four points. It was planned that the penetrators would contain seismic sensors that would transmit data to Earth via repeaters. As a result, it would be possible to obtain information about the<em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\"> size of the Moon&#8217;s core<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, which is very important for understanding the history of its origin. In general, it would certainly be a very important experiment for fundamental science.<br \/>A small &#171;lyrical digression&#187;. Actually, GEO\u0421HI always been the leader of lunar research. At our SRI, the Moon did not attract much attention &#8212; the main focus was on studies of atmospheres and the plasma environment of the planets.<br \/>When developing these stations, the question appeared, who would actually be able to produce these penetrators? It turned out that there were <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">no such organizations in Russia in the 1990s<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. Japan was involved. <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">Japanese penetrators even reached the tests<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, but it turned out that they could not withstand the shock load of 300-400 g, which occurs when colliding with the lunar surface. Then, <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">without success, British specialists joined in<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, I even saw a special rail installation for testing such devices, but as a result, by the end of the 2000s, work on the project <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">&#171;Luna-Globe&#187;, unfortunately, came to a standstill<\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<br \/>But just at that time, we received data from our <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">neutron telescope LEND<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, which as a result of a tough tender we <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">installed on the American lunar spacecraft Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. Before that there were data on the <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">presence of water, thanks to the first Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan 1<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, but more or less detailed map of water ice distribution was obtained by Russian specialists. Moreover, it was shown that there is water not only in &#171;cold traps&#187; &#8212; permanently shaded places inside polar craters (which, in principle, is quite expected), but also outside them. This generated a lot of controversy at the time &#8212; what processes could create this distribution?<\/p><p>But as a result, we understood that, having started with the study of the Moon, we could also think about its <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">future exploration &#8212; and it is the presence of water ice that should play a key role here<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. Then we very quickly proposed a <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">new lunar program &#8212; a program for the study of the &#171;polar Moon&#187;<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, received the support of the country&#8217;s leadership and,<em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> around 2011-2012<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">began work on it<\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<br \/>From the academic study of the Moon&#8217;s structure in the interests of, as they say, fundamental science, we moved to the practical study of lunar water reserves.<br \/>At that time, the spacecraft mission <em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">was scheduled for about 2016-2017<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. I didn&#8217;t like this index named &#171;Glob&#187; &#8212; and I&#8217;m proud to have come up with a numbering option that continues the Soviet series of stations to study our natural satellite. The station became &#171;Luna-25&#187;, although by inertia it is still called &#171;Luna-Glob&#187; in contracts.<br \/>&#171;Luna-25&#187; is planned to be the first spacecraft in the new series. The development of the next spacecrafts was already under the <em><strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">&#171;Luna-Resurs&#187; program. &#171;Luna-26&#187; is an artificial satellite of the Moon, &#171;Luna-27&#187; is a more complex landing station with a drilling rig. &#171;Luna-28&#187; is to deliver soil, but not like the Soviet &#171;Lunas&#187;, but with the preservation of volatile components, including water ice<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. If you take a sample of soil, as the Soviet &#171;Moon&#187; did, the water, if it is there, will simply vaporize at zero ambient pressure on the Moon, and we will not know whether it was there or not.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-daebd4f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"daebd4f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c3546c1\" data-id=\"c3546c1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c73be5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c73be5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/historical-media-content.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/Space\/Luna-2627.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e682fc1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e682fc1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f16385\" data-id=\"3f16385\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e613fc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e613fc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>But I will go back to history again.
