		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.

		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.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Luna 9
		On February 3, 1966 the Luna 9 spacecraft was the first spacecraft to achieve a lunar soft landing and to transmit photographic data to Earth.
		The Luna 9 payload was carried to Earth orbit by an A-2-E vehicle and then conveyed toward the Moon by a fourth stage rocket that separated itself from the payload.
		Luna 9 was the twelfth attempt at a soft-landing by the Soviets; it was also the first deep space probe built by the Lavochkin design bureau, which ultimately would design and build almost all Soviet (and Russian) lunar and interplanetary spacecraft.

		The side of Luna that faces away from the Earth is properly called "the far side." It is sometimes referred to as the "dark side" of the Moon.
		During the ancient period, it was not uncommon for cultures to believe that Luna died each night, thus descending into the underworld; other cultures believed that the moon chased Sol (and vice-versa).
		The words lunacy, lunatic and loony are derived from Luna because of the folk belief in the Moon as a cause of periodic insanity.

		Although studies from earth using optical and radio telescopes had accumulated much data on the nature of celestial bodies, it was not until after World War II that the development of powerful rockets made direct space exploration a technological possibility.
		Luna 2 made a hard lunar landing in Sept., 1959, and Luna 3 took pictures of the moon's far side as the probe flew by in Nov., 1959.
		The American Mercury program had its first orbital success in Feb., 1962, when John Glenn circled the earth three times; a flight of 22 orbits was achieved by Mercury in May, 1963.

	Definition of Luna 2
		Luna 2 was the second of the Luna program of spacecraft launched in the direction of the Moon.
		This space probe 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 gammas (nanoteslas) so that the quantization uncertainty was -12 to +12 gammas.
		The spacecraft gave results similar to those of Luna 1 in the earth's radiation belts and, upon impact, placed an upper limit of 100 gammas on the lunar magnetic field at the surface.

	Soviet Missions to the Moon
		The Soviet Lunar program had 20 successful missions to the Moon and achieved a number of notable lunar "firsts": first probe to impact the Moon, first flyby and image of the lunar farside, first soft landing, first lunar orbiter, and the first circumlunar probe to return to Earth.
		Lunar flyby missions (Luna 3, Zond 3, 6, 7, 8) obtained photographs of the lunar surface, particularly the limb and farside regions.
		The purpose of the photography experiments on the lunar landers (Luna 9, 13, 22) was to obtain closeup images of the surface of the Moon for use in lunar studies and determination of the feasibility of manned lunar landings.

	THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM
		Although the future course of the Soviet space program was unclear when the Soyuz was conceived in 1959-62 (space stations, lunar missions or even a manned flight around Mars were considered), it was generally agreed on that rendezvous and docking would play a major role.
		Luna 8 was the first lunar probe constructed in the workshops of the Babakin OKB, which had been formed in 1965 to manage the robotic lunar program when Korolev was too busy overseeing it (Hendrickx,1996).
		As the L1 program was winding down in early 1969, the focus shifted to the N1 program.
