	Luna
		Lunas were the first manmade objects to attain of escape velocity; to impact on the moon; to photograph the far side of the moon; to soft land on the moon; to retrieve and return lunar surface samples to the earth; and to deploy a lunar rover on the moon's surface.
		Luna 12 was launched towards the Moon from an earth-orbiting platform and achieved a lunar orbit of of 100 km x 1740 km on October 25, 1966.
		Luna 16 was launched toward the Moon from a preliminary earth orbit and entered a lunar orbit on September 17, 1970.

	Luna
		Lunas were the first manmade objects to reach escape velocity, crash into the Moon, photograph the Moon’s farside, soft land on the Moon, automatically return lunar surface material to Earth, and deploy a rover on the Moon’s surface.
		Luna 3 was launched on a figure-eight trajectory bringing it within 6,200 km of the Moon and around the farside, which was sunlit at the time.
		Luna 16 landed safely on the Moon on Sep. 20, 1970 on the Sea of Fertility and deployed an extendable arm with a drilling rig to collect 100 g of soil and rock.

	Luna 2
		Luna 2 was similar in design to Luna 1, a spherical spacecraft with protruding antennae and instrument parts.
		After launch and attainment of escape velocity on September 13, 1959, Luna 2 separated from its third stage, which travelled along with it towards the Moon.
		On September 13 the spacecraft released a bright orange cloud of sodium gas which aided in spacecraft tracking and acted as an experiment on the behavior of gas in space.

		Luna started losing her sense of her surroundings late in the evening, though we were still able to get her on her feet and move her about with a towel around her waist.

	Soviet Craft - Luna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Luna 1 was the first spacecraft to reach the moon and the first of a series of Soviet automatic interplanetary stations successfully launched in the direction of the moon.
		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 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On February 3, 1966 the Luna 9 spacecraft was the first spacecraft to achieve a lunar soft landing and to transmit photographic data to Earth.
		Luna 9 was the twelfth attempt at a soft-landing by the Soviets; it was also the first deep space probe built by the Lavochkin design bureau, which ultimately would design and build almost all Soviet (and Russian) lunar and interplanetary spacecraft.
		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).

	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.

	Other Luna Missions
		The Luna Space Programme was one of two lunar exploration programs conducted by the former Soviet Union.
		The Luna missions were designed to collect information about the Moon and its environment, not only for scientific purposes but also to be used in the planning of future lunar missions including manned missions to the Moon.
		Among them were the first flyby of the Moon, the first impact on the Moon, the first photographs of the farside, the first soft landing, the first lunar satellite, the first analysis of lunar soil, the first sample return, and the first lunar rover deployment.

		As befits a group thinking of (their own) empire, Luna revisits one of their best songs, "Astronaut." Like the rest of the album, here it’s leaner, stronger, and slower, while "Malibu" and "Owl" display some of the finest, melodic and stripped-down guitar playing since the Feelies’ heyday.
