	Ranger program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ranger program was a series of unmanned space missions by the United States in the 1960s whose objective was to obtain the first close-up images of the surface of the Moon.
		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 4 had a perfect launch, but the spacecraft was completely disabled.

		The Ranger probes were designed to return data en route to the Moon and then crash into the lunar surface sending back images from an altitude of about 1,300 km up to the point of impact.
		Rangers 3, 4, and 5 carried a capsule, containing a seismometer, which was intended to be jettisoned and then decelerated by retrorocket in order to make a rough but survivable landing.
		Because of these failures, NASA announced that henceforth unmanned lunar landing spacecraft, including Rangers and Surveyors, would be assembled in clean-rooms and treated with germ-killing substances to prevent contamination without damaging sensitive electronic components.

	Ranger 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ranger 4 was a Block II Ranger spacecraft virtually identical to Ranger 3.
		The seismometer was encased in the lunar capsule along with an amplifier, a 50-milliwatt transmitter, voltage control, a turnstile antenna, and 6 silver-cadmium batteries capable of operating the lunar capsule transmitter for 30 days, all designed to land on the Moon at 130 to 160 km/h (80 to 100 mph).
		Ranger 4 impacted the far side of the Moon (229.3 degrees E, 15.5 degrees S) at 9600 km/h at 12:49:53 UT on April 26, 1962 after 64 hours of flight.

		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.
		Ranger IV was launched by an Atlas-Agena B booster from the Atlantic Missile Range, attained a parking orbit, and was fired into the proper lunar trajectory by the restart of the Agena B engine.

		Ranger 1 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on August 23, 1961, followed by the launch of Ranger 2 on November 18 of that year.
		Ranger 4 had a perfect launch on April 23 of that year, but the spacecraft was completely disabled.
		Ranger 6 was launched January 30, 1964, and had a flawless flight culminating in impact as planned on the Moon; its television system, however, was disabled by an in-flight accident and could take no pictures.

	Ranger 3, 4, 5 (Ranger Block 2)
		The basic Ranger Block 2 vehicle was 3.1 m high and consisted of a lunar capsule covered with a balsawood impact-limiter, 65 cm in diameter, a mono-propellant mid-course motor, a 5080-pound thrust retrorocket, and a gold- and chrome-plated hexagonal base 1.5 m in diameter.
		Ranger 4 was designed to boosted towards the Moon by an Atlas-LV3 Agena-B, undergo one mid-course correction, and impact the lunar surface.
		Ranger 4 impacted the far side of the Moon (229.3 degrees E, 15.5 degrees S) at 9600 km/hr at 12:49:53 UT on April 26, 1962 after 64 hours of flight.
