		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.

	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.

		Luna 3 produced this view of the Moon during a photographic session 1959 October 7 - three days after launch.
		Luna 3's images were far from clear so, although they covered much of the 'back' of the Moon, their interpretation was difficult.
		After its mission was finished, Luna 3 continued to orbit the Earth-Moon system under the combined gravitational influences of both bodies until 1960 March 29.

		En-route to the Moon, the upper stage of Luna 2's launching rocket releases a cloud of sodium vapour, the glow from which is used to aid visual measurement of the trajectory - it is observed in the constellation Aquarius at a stellar magnitude between 4 and 5
		Luna 3 photographs the hidden side of the Moon from an altitude of 65,200 km altitude - its camera system takes a series of 29 photographs over a period 40 minutes, covering 70% of the surface - film is developed automatically aboard the spacecraft and is then scanned to allow radio transmission of the images
		Luna 3 is back in the vicinity of Earth and transmits 17 of its photographs in facsimile format - a later attempt at re-transmission fails when signals are not received

		The first man-made object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959, the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.

		The far side of the Moon remained completely unknown until the Luna 3 probe was launched in 1959, and was extensively mapped by the Lunar Orbiter program in the 1960s.

		On 1 November 1959 a telegram was sent to AN USSR asking for "co-ordinates for the next transmission from Luna 3", and the first batch of tapes of signals from Luna 2 and 3 were sent to Prof.
		The final batch of Luna 3 tapes were sent to Akademi Nauk on 14 January 1960.
		The story about Jodrell Bank's reception of Luna 3 signals could have ended here, but there is an interesting epilogue: On 17 January 1961 the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, William Pickering, wrote to find out if Jodrell Bank had recorded pictures from Luna 3 and if JPL could have copies of the tapes.

		The Automatic Interplanetary Station Luna 3 returned a full face image that was good enough to show major contrasts in brightness (albedo).
		Luna 3 also revealed long bright streaks that the Soviets called the Soviet Mountains and that Russian geologist A.V. Khabakov a believer in the importance of lineaments, claimed are parallel to major faults on the near side.
		Incidentally, Patrick Moore, the British lunar enthusiast and popularizer of astronomy, has stated that the charts the Soviets used for the Luna 3 flight were the detailed but very unrealistic ("unrealistic" is my observation, not Moore's) line drawings laboriously prepared over decades by British amateur Percy Wilkins.
