 Soviet Craft - Luna
The Luna 13 spacecraft was launched toward the moon from an Earth-orbiting platform and accomplished a soft landing on December 24, 1966, in the region of Oceanus Procellarum.
The spacecraft instrumentation was similar to that of Luna 10 and provided data for studies of the interaction of the Earth and lunar masses, the lunar gravitational field, the propagation and stability of radio communications to the spacecraft at different orbital positions, solar charged particles and cosmic rays, and the motion of the Moon.
Luna 16 was the first robotic probe to land on the moon and return a sample to Earth and represented the first lunar sample return mission by the Soviet Union and the third overall, following the Apollo11 and 12 missions.

Luna 11, launched only two weeks after the U.S. Lunar Orbiter, successfully entered lunar orbit at 21:49 UT on 27 August.
During the mission, the TV camera failed to return usable images because the spacecraft lost proper orientationto face the lunar surface when a foreign object was lodged in the nozzle of one of the attitude-control thrusters.

 La Cabeza Drilling | Exeter Resource
The discovery of significant new gold mineralisation adjacent to the existing Luna prospect was a combination of a RAB drilling discovery to the south of Luna and a re-appraisal of outcrops west and southwest of Luna.
The presence of gold mineralization under sand cover in the previously-unexplored area south of the Luna prospect was first recognized by shallow RAB drilling, in an area approximately 200 meters southeast of the initial discovery that intersected similar quartz veining, with a maximum assay of 8.2 g/t gold.
Structurally, the new area of the Luna Zone is interpreted as consisting of two northwest striking veins that dip 45-50 degrees to the southwest.

There was no way she could have guessed or known that Luna’s father was the editor, but she was reading the magazine, so it seems rather obvious she at least liked it.
The one time we see Luna excited about something other than seemingly-ridiculous creatures is when she asks Harry, “You know what could be in there?” eagerly as they decide to leave the locked door behind.
But Luna’s shining moment comes in the DoM in the chapter entitled “Beyond the Veil.” She was able to lead a crazy Ron and a nearly immobile Ginny away from the harm of four Death Eaters.

The ancient Stafford Giant redwood now known to the world as Luna, was named by forest activists who used the light of the full moon to erect a platform in the tree.
In October of 1997, activists rigged a treesitting platform at an altitude of 180 feet within the branches of Luna.
While the tree is still alive and standing, Luna is extremely vulnerable to a windstorm.

 Luna 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luna 9 (E-6 series), also known as Lunik 9(internal name E-6 N. 13), was an unmanned space mission of the Soviet Union's Luna program.
After landing in the Ocean of Storms on February 3, 1966, the four petals, which formed the spacecraft, opened outward and stabilized the spacecraft on the lunar surface.
All operations prior to landing occurred without fault, and the 58-centimeter spheroid ALS capsule landed on the Moon at 18:45:30 UT on 3 February 1966 west of the Reiner and Marius craters in the Ocean of Storms (at 7°8' north latitude and 64°22' west longitude).

One minute Luna was frolicking around the back of a boat, as he did routinely in an attempt to secure the companionship he craved.
Luna's sad saga first came to light in spring 2001, when he turned up in Nootka Sound, a remote waterway that snakes inland from the Pacific to the old logging town of Gold River, B.C. His pod is known to forage in the waters off Vancouver Island in the spring.
She said Canadian authorities have no reason to doubt the word of the skipper of the oceangoing tugboat, the 104-foot General Jackson, that Luna's death was accidental.

Luna is a gem of a book, very unique in character and style.
In Luna, Peters introduces readers to what appears to be a normal family through the voice of Regan, a teen who is immersed in normal things; her babysitting job, her homework, and a cute boy.
The reader travels with Regan as she deals with how daunting it is for Luna to try and transition, as well as with her own feelings of resentment as she keeps Liam's secrets.

This subset of the &8220;second-generation&8221; Luna spacecraft, the Ye-6LF, was designed to take the first photographs of the surface of the Moon from lunar orbit.
Using the basic Ye-6 bus, a suite of scientific instruments (plus an imaging system similar to the one used on Zond 3) replaced the small lander capsule used on the soft-landing flights.

Luna 1 (E-1 series) is the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the Moon and the first of the Luna programme of Soviet automatic interplanetary stations successfully launched in the direction of the Moon.
On January 2, 1959 Luna 1 became the first ever man-made object to reach the escape velocity of the Earth, when it separated from its 1472 kg third stage.
On 3 January, at a distance of 113,000 km from Earth, a large (1 kg) cloud of sodium gas was released by the spacecraft, thus making this probe also the first artificial comet.

A Luna-11 pennant is the same style as Luna-12, indicating it was probably a failed photo mission of the same design, not a Luna-10 style orbiter as sometimes reported.
Lunokhods were large solar-powered robots that spent several months driving around the Moon, returning images and doing mineral analysis.
