Block 2 of the Ranger project launched three spacecraft to the Moon in 1962, carrying a TV camera, a radiation detector, and a seismometer in a separate capsule slowed by a rocket motor and packaged to survive its low-speed impact on the Moon’s surface.
Ranger 3 was launched into deep space, but an inaccuracy put it off course and it missed the Moon entirely.
Ranger 5 missed the Moon and was disabled.

 The Ranger 3 & 5 Missions to the Moon
Rangers 1 through 5 experienced technical problems which affected the success of the missions: the launch vehicles malfunctioned for Ranger 1 and 2, Rangers 3 and 5 missed the Moon, and Ranger 4 landed on the back side of the Moon and returned no data.
Ranger 3 was launched on 26 January 1962.
The detector was a beveled 3-in diameter CsI crystal, surrounded in a phoswich arrangement by a 1/8-in thick plastic scintillator.

 Ranger
Ranger was originally to be a program of five unmanned lunar crasher spacecraft, intended to quickly obtain information on the lunar surface.
Ranger 1, a test version of the spacecraft which would attempt an unmanned crash landing on the moon, was launched from the Atlantic Missile Range by an Atlas-Agena B booster.
Ranger 1's primary mission was to test the performance of those functions and parts that are necessary for carrying out subsequent lunar and planetary missions using essentially the same spacecraft design.

 D&D - Class Evaluations
Fighter-type feats are awarded to both the Ranger and the triple at levels two and three, though the ranger also gets them at six and eleven (the feat takes a back-seat to spells, catching the level eleventh one on the next pass).
The above triple-class ranger approximation shows that a nearly exact match to the spellcasting portion of ranger (and thus paladin, which has the same progression) can be achieved with a 3:2 (12:8) ratio of noncaster:caster.
Ranger comes in and gives us one of the wanted feats at the same cost as fighter (two levels per feat), and we'll use rogue (indicated with lowercase "r" to distinguish from ranger): rFRrRPP DDD DDDDD DFrRD for rog3/Ftr2/Rgr3/Pal2/Duel10.
