	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.

		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 9 was the first probe to soft land on the Moon and transmit pictures from the Lunar surface on February 3, 1966.
		Luna 10 conducted extensive research in lunar orbit, gathering important data on the weakness of the Moon’s magnetic field, its radiation belts, and the nature of lunar rocks (which were found to be comparable to terrestrial basalt rocks), cosmic radiation, and micrometeoroid density.
		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.

		Luna 2 was the second of the Luna program of spacecraft launched in the direction of the Moon.
		Luna 2 was similar in design to Luna 1, a spherical spacecraft with protruding antennae and instrument parts.
		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 so that the quantization uncertainty was -12 to +12 gammas.

		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 %) 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 % of anorthosite).

		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.

	Luna Ye-8-5
		The party line is that the Soviet Union is not about to risks the lives of its cosmonauts on flights to the moon, when automated probes can safely retrieve soil from the moon for study on earth.
		The cause of the Ye-8-5 failure is found to be a valve that was stuck open after the first stage burn, resulting in the oxidiser boiling away in the vacuum of space.
		After successfully entering earth orbit, flying to the moon, entering lunar orbit, and descending toward the surface, the spacecraft was damaged during landing in Mare Crisium (Sea of Crises).

		Luna may well have a a better chance than Springer, because orcas are bonded for life, and the closest bonds are between mothers and their offspring.
		At that time, Luna was a baby, but he is now a rambunctious 5 year old whose antics have caused government officials to become increasingly concerned about public safety issues.
		The upshot was a plan to reunite Luna with his orca community via a Springer-like project that would see him captured, held, tested, and then transported via truck to southern Vancouver Island waters where he would ultimately be released.

		The Soviet Union's programme of lunar exploration using automatic spacecraft had three phases, based initially on the political thrust to be at the forefront of space exploration, and then extension into serious study of the Moon as an astronomical body:
		As with the American Lunar Orbiter and Surveyor missions, automatic spacecraft of the Luna series were used to survey the Moon's surface from orbit and to test it for the ability to support the weight of a piloted spacecraft.
		The independently developing piloted programme to set a human being down onto its surface is a separate story.

		Unlike its predecessors, Luna 7 successfully carried out its midcourse correction on October 5 on the way to the Moon, in anticipation of a soft-landing two days later.
		Unfortunately, immediately prior to planned retro-fire during the approach to the lunar surface, the spacecraft suddenly lost attitude control and failed to regain it.
		As controllers observed helplessly, Luna 7 plummeted to the lunar surface at a very high speed, crashing at 22:08:24 UT on October 7 west of the Kepler crater, relatively near the actual intended target.
