 Luna 4
Luna 4, also called Lunik 4, was the USSR's first successful spacecraft of their "second generation" Luna program.
Luna 4, the second attempt of this program, achieved the desired trajectory but missed the Moon by 8336.2 km at 13:25 UT on April 5, 1963 and entered a barycentric[?] 90,000 x 700,000 km Earth orbit.
The intended mission of the probe is not known, it was speculated the probe was designed to land on the Moon with an instrument package based on the trajectory and on the later attempted landings of the Luna 5 and Luna 6 spacecraft.

 Luna, Etruria - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The earliest mention we have of Luna is from old Ennius, who took part in the expedition against Sardinia, which sailed from this port in 539 (B.C. 215), under Manlius Torquatus; and the poet, struck with the beauty of the gulf, called on his fellow-citizens to come and admire it with him,—
5.); and for its cheeses, which were stamped with the figure, either of the moon, or of the Etruscan Diana, and were of vast size, sometimes weighing a thousand pounds.
After his death, the quarries of Luna became imperial property in B.C. From that time forth, it has been in use for statuary, as well as for architectural decoration; and from the Apollo Belvidere to the Triumphs of Thorwaldsen, "the stone that breathes and struggles" in immortal art, has been chiefly the marble of 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 sat next to Alex, who seemed to be lost in thought himself...so lost in thought that he failed to notice Azura was sitting on his head...at least, not for a good few minutes, until Alex took off his helmet where Azura had perched.
Luna's gaze hardened again at the mention of Neria, and she made a note to herself to straighten up exactly who this woman was that Alex had mentioned during his delirium, and exactly what he had wanted Nall not to tell her.

The Russians re-activated their space program, but their Luna 5, launched on May 9, 1964, crashed at full speed on the moon, when it was intended to make a soft landing.
Luna 7 crashed on the moon when it's retro rockets fired too soon, which is a significant detail in relation to where one assumes the moon's center of gravity to be located in relation to the surface.
Luna 8 also crashed on the moon, but luna 9 was successful, and became the first spacecraft to soft land on the moon.

 La Cabeza Drilling | Exeter Resource   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The discovery of significant new gold mineralisation adjacent to the existing Luna prospect was a combination of a RAB drilling discovery to the south of Luna and a re-appraisal of outcrops west and southwest of Luna.
The presence of gold mineralization under sand cover in the previously-unexplored area south of the Luna prospect was first recognized by shallow RAB drilling, in an area approximately 200 meters southeast of the initial discovery that intersected similar quartz veining, with a maximum assay of 8.2 g/t gold.
Structurally, the new area of the Luna Zone is interpreted as consisting of two northwest striking veins that dip 45-50 degrees to the southwest.

In May 1965, Luna 5 became the first Soviet probe to head for the Moon in two years.
Following the midcourse correction on May 10, the spacecraft began spinning around its main axis due to a problem in a flotation gyroscope in the I-100 guidance system unit.
It was the second Soviet spacecraft to land on the Moon (following Luna 2 in 1959).

Luna 2 was similar in design to Luna 1, a spherical spacecraft with protruding antennae and instrument parts.
Luna 1 had provided the first evidence of this phenomenon; and on Luna 2, Gringauz changed the four sensors to a tetrahedral arrangement, instead of planar, to get better measurements of the plasma flux.
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.

The dramatic first pictures of the unseen far side of the moon were sent to earth by the Soviet Union spacecraft, Luna 3, in October 1959.
Luna 3 (E-3 series) was the third spacecraft sent successfully to the moon and was a early triumph in the human exploration of outer space.
The imaging system was developed by P.F. Bratslavets and I.A. Rosselevich at the Leningrad Scientific Research Institute of Television and the returned images were processed and analyzed by Iu.N. Lipskii and his team at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute.

Luna 1 (E-1 series) is 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.
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.
