Luna programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Luna programme (occasionally called Lunik) 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Luna_programme   (648 words)

Luna 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Luna 2 was the second of the Soviet Union's Luna program spacecraft launched in the direction of the Moon. Luna 2 was similar in design to Luna 1, a spherical spacecraft with protruding antennae and instrument parts. Luna 2 was instrumented with a three component fluxgate magnetometer, similar to that used on Luna 1, but with the dynamic range reduced by a factor of 4 to -750 to +750 nanoteslas (gammas) so that the quantization uncertainty was -12 to +12 nT. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Luna_2   (707 words)

NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Luna programme Luna 1 was 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. 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. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Luna-programme   (4219 words)

Soviet Craft - Luna 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 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. 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. burro.astr.cwru.edu /stu/advanced/20th_soviet_luna.html   (5278 words)

Last check: 2007-10-30) Luna 3, an automatic interplanetary station of the Luna program, was the third spacecraft successfully launched to the Moon and the first to return images of the lunar far side. As Luna 3 got closer to Earth a total of 17 resolvable but noisy photographs were transmitted by October 18. The purpose of this experiment was to obtain photographs of the lunar surface as the spacecraft flew by the moon. www.timesharetalk.co.uk /wiki.asp?k=Luna_3   (1139 words)

Chronology of Space Exploration Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to impact the surface of the moon on September 14, 1959.

The Definitive Guide to Luna 1 XXXX   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) 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. Luna 1 passed within 5995 km of the Moon's surface on 4 January after 34 hours of flight. www.xxxx.com /s/Luna_1   (426 words)
