	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 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.

	Soviet Craft - Luna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		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 is still in the Gold River area, dividing his time between working in the timber industry and being a fisherman.
		Luna had apparently been at the dock during the night, and headed out in the early morning with the same large work boat that he’d spent the night with earlier.
		Luna followed them all the way past a group of islands that sit in the middle of the entrance to Nootka Sound, and finally out to where the Pacific swells are no longer broken by arms of land, and the horizon to the west is just a long straight line.
