Luna-Glob (, meaning Lunar sphere) is a Moon exploration program by Roscosmos meant to progress toward the creation of a fully robotic lunar base. When completed, the program is intended to continue with crewed lunar missions, starting with a crewed orbiter spacecraft called Orel.
The program is based on plans dating back to 1997. Due to the 1998 Russian financial crisis however, the program's first mission, the Luna 25 lander, was put on hold, only to be revived a few years later. Initially scheduled for launch in 2012 on a Soyuz-2 rocket, the first mission was delayed many times; first to 2014, then to 2015 and 2016 and 2018 and 2019. Russia's Roscosmos approved a model of the Luna 25 lander in 2017.
