2012 or 2013 ?

Article has "A Luna-Glob 2[2] joint orbiter-rover mission (the orbiter will be the Indian Chandrayaan-2), is also planned for in 2012, ...". But the Chandrayaan-2 article says 2013. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 11:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When does it launch?

The article has three completely different dates in it (2014, >2015, >2019). 77.97.184.245 (talk) 21:18, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And then it became 2024, and then it became 2025. The Russian space progamme has not been in a very happy state for quite a while. Double sharp (talk) 05:33, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Luna-Glob → ? – The page title and the content do not match. This page describes the robotic lunar exploration programme of Russia, yet it is titled Luna-Glob, which is just one (Luna 26) of the numerous probes that are planned. A possible solution to this discrepancy is to rename this page Russian Moon exploration programme or Luna programme (Russia). Other paths forwards are listed below.

Comment - Before you type "oppose", please hear me out. This page started out merely explaining the (then) Luna-Glob mission, now known as Luna 25/26 . Then following this version missions outside the Luna-Glob scheme, such as Luna-Resurs and Luna-Grunt were added in this page. At the time, the individual articles didn't exist, so mentioning the other missions here was reasonable. However, now the individual articles (Luna 25, Luna 26, Luna 27, Luna 28) have been created, yet this page still covers them, with an unchanged title. In fact this page (and several others) use Luna-Glob as if it is some all-encompassing programme, which is factually incorrect. There is no mention of a "Luna-Glob programme" in the Russian Space Research Institute [1] website nor in russianspaceweb.com [2]. Kind Regards, Hms1103 (talk) 20:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Some possible solutions:

Keep the current title, erase sections mentioning Luna 27 to 31 (limit page content to the actual Luna-Glob mission)
Rename this page Russian Moon exploration programme per [3]
Rename this page Luna programme (Russia) (in this case the current Luna programme page should also be renamed for differentiation, such as Luna programme (Soviet Union))
Merge this page into Luna programme (unify all the Luna missions from Luna 1 to Luna 31 into one page)
Delete this page (thus solving the discrepancy)

Any suggestions are welcome. Hms1103 (talk) 20:46, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hms1103 is right. Luna-Glob is one mission that lead to the revival of the Luna programme. It does not matter the Soviet Union is now Russia. The current programme is stated to be a continuation or revival of the old Luna programme, therefore they kept the name Luna. At the moment I tend to favor merging this article into Luna programme.

This sounds like a good idea to me. This has been relisted twice, so it's probably not all that controversial either. Safrolic (talk) 02:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer No. 2 or 3. Merging with the article Luna programme does not seem completely correct to me, since there is a huge time and technological gap, Russian Wikipedia also uses two articles: ru:Российская лунная программа and ru:Луна (космическая программа). Jirka.h23 (talk) 06:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My preference would be to add an brief mention of the future missions in Luna programme, while keep this page for explaining not only for the new Luna probes, but also Russian proposals for crewed lunar missions, such as this and a surface base. As for the title, I'm now inclined for something like Russian lunar exploration programme. Regards, Hms1103 (talk) 20:06, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I favor option #3, because of the technology and temporal gap. Rowan Forest (talk) 02:31, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
