	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 6 passed by the Moon late on 11 June at a range of 161,000 kilometers and eventually entered heliocentric orbit.

	Luna 1958C information - Search.com
		Luna 1958C (E-1 series) was the third Soviet attempt at an unmanned space mission to the Moon.
		Its failed predecessor, Luna 1958A, had carried a sodium container with the aim of producing a visible puff of sodium on impact, but it is not known whether 1958C carried sodium too.
		The spacecraft was failure: it was damaged during flight and exploded 245 seconds after launch, failing to leave the Earth's atmosphere.

		Those which failed to reach orbit were not publicly acknowledged at the time and not assigned a Luna number and ones which failed in low Earth orbit were usually given Cosmos designations[1] (http://www.russianspaceweb.com/spacecraft_planetary_lunar.html).
		In 1959, the second Luna mission successfully impacted upon the lunar surface, becoming the first man-made object to reach another world.
