  Radio systems of the Luna 4-14 series of spacecraft
The frequency of the landing radar for Luna 9 and 13 was 3.2 cm, i.e.
On pictures of the Luna 12 and 14 craft a conical helix is clearly visible which in all certainty is the antenna for the 922 MHz downlink and the 768 MHz uplink.
The description of the third mode of operation seems to be similar to the ranging frequency sweeps on 183.5 MHz observed by myself from the Luna 20 return craft.(See "Reception of signals on 183.54 MHz from the Luna 20 return spacecraft in Stockholm").

 La Cabeza Drilling | Exeter Resource   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
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.

The party line is that the Soviet Union is not about to risks the lives of its cosmonauts on flights to the moon, when automated probes can safely retrieve soil from the moon for study on earth.
The cause of the Ye-8-5 failure is found to be a valve that was stuck open after the first stage burn, resulting in the oxidiser boiling away in the vacuum of space.
After successfully entering earth orbit, flying to the moon, entering lunar orbit, and descending toward the surface, the spacecraft was damaged during landing in Mare Crisium (Sea of Crises).
