  Luna programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Luna programme was a series of unmanned space missions sent to the Moon by the Soviet Union between 1959 and 1976.
Luna 1 missed its intended impact with the Moon and became the first spacecraft to fall into orbit around the Sun.
Luna 3 rounded the Moon later that year, and returned the first photographs of its far side, which can never be seen from Earth.

 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 15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luna 15, launched only three days before the historic Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, was the second Soviet attempt to recover and bring lunar soil back to Earth.
In a race to reach the Moon and return to Earth, the parallel missions of Luna 15 and Apollo 11 were, in some ways, the culmination of the Moon race that defined the space programs of both the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s.
Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin had already set foot on the Moon when Luna 15 fired its main retrorocket engine to initiate descent to the surface at 15:47 UT on 21 July 1969.

Luna 15 was an unmanned spacemission of the Luna program, also called Lunik 15.
Luna 15was placed in an intermediate Earth orbit after launch and was then sent toward the Moon.The spacecraft was capable of studying circumlunar space, the lunar gravitational field, and the chemical composition of lunarrocks.
The missions was a failure, however, after completing 86communications sessions and 52 orbits of the Moon at various inclinations and altitudes, the spacecraft impacted the lunarsurface on July 21, 1969.

 Tracking Luna 24 from Florida and Stockholm
The major difference between Luna 24 and previous two lunar sample-return flights was the duration of the return flight from the moon.
For Luna 20 and Luna 16 the re-entry to earth was along a direct path from the moon to the earth.
In the case of Luna 24 the landing longitude was 6 degrees further east and to null out the orbital velocity of the moon less velocity for the probe was needed, resulting in a slower return trajectory.

Luna 14 was an unmanned space mission of the Luna program run by the Soviet Union.
The Luna 14 spacecraft entered lunar orbit on April 10, 1968.
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.

 Jodrell Bank's role in early space tracking activities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Luna 1 was launched from Baikonur at 1641:25 UT on 2 January 1959 and was intended to hit the moon, but missed its target by 6400 km because of "a human error in calibrating a direction finder" (12).
The tape recording of the signals on 19.992 MHz from Luna 2 were made with the tape recorder connected directly to the radio receiver, while the signals on 183.6 MHz were recorded via a microphone (11).
However, in (15) it is mentioned that a test pattern was transmitted, that two transmission rates were available: "a slower transmission at great distances, and a faster transmission on approaching the earth" and that image transmissions were made from distance of 467000 km (near apogee of the post-flyby trajectory).

El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) informó de que en la madrugada del 15 al 16 de mayo se producirá un eclipse total de Luna que será visible en España a baja altura sobre el horizonte, excepto en las últimas fases de dicho fenómeno, que durará más de cinco horas.
Aunque los eclipses de Luna no son tan espectaculares como los de Sol, la ventaja es que se pueden observar a simple vista sin necesidad de telescopios y durante entre 5 y 7 horas.
Los eclipses de Luna se producen sólo con Luna llena, ya que el Sol y la Luna deben estar en oposición, y además debe darse la circunstancia de que la Luna se encuentre en el punto de corte de la órbita lunar y la terrestre.
