	Luna 20 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luna 20 was placed in an intermediate Earth parking orbit and from this orbit was sent towards the Moon.
		The ascent stage of Luna 20 was launched from the lunar surface on 22 February 1972 carrying 30 grams of collected lunar samples in a sealed capsule.
		The 55-gram soil sample differed from that collected by Luna 16 in that the majority (50 to 60 percent) of the rock particles in the newer sample were ancient anorthosite (which consists largely of feldspar) rather than the basalt of the earlier one (which contained about 1 to 2 percent of anorthosite).

		The Luna 21 spacecraft landed on the Moon and deployed the second Soviet lunar rover (Lunokhod 2).
		Luna 21 carried the second successful Soviet "8YeL" lunar rover, Lunokhod 2, and was launched less than a month after the last Apollo lunar landing.
		The Soviets later revealed that during a conference on planetary exploration in Moscow, 29 January to 2 February 1973 (that is, after the landing of Luna 21), an American scientist had given photos of the lunar surface around the Luna 21 landing site to a Soviet engineer in charge of the Lunokhod 2 mission.

		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.

		On February 21, 1972, Luna 20 soft landed on the Moon in a mountainous area near Mare Foecunditatis (Sea of Fertility), 120 kilometers (75 miles) from where Luna 16 had impacted.
		Luna 20 was launched from the lunar surface on February 22, 1972, and landed in the Soviet Union on February 25, 1972.
		The Luna 20 drill was a thin-walled tube carrying helical threads on its outside surface and a crown on sharp teeth at its cutting end.

		Luna, 5-22 if Greg Luna were here today he would be smiling because in the 5-23 Texas Senate and in the Texas Legislature this year, as 5-24 Senator Bivins said, Texas has passed the most equalized educational 5-25 system in the country today.
		But when Greg Luna gets up in the Texas Senate people 6-10 track what he says because he is a man of quiet courage and when 6-11 Greg Luna has a point there isn't anyone in the Texas Senate that 6-12 doesn't know what Greg Luna is saying and who he speaks for.
		Luna, we had a meeting in San Antonio and 15-16 I really can't remember the specific meeting, but I remember it was 15-17 at the restored theater in Greg's district and we went there for 15-18 that occasion and you and he were there.

		Luna 3, an automatic interplanetary station, was equipped with radio communication and telemetering systems, a television system with an automatic film processing unit, a set of scientific instruments, systems for orientation relative to the sun and moon, solar cells for electric power supply, and a temperature control system.
		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.
