	Zond 3
		Zond 3, a member of the Soviet Zond program, was launched from a Tyazheliy Sputnik[?] (65-056B) earth orbiting platform towards the Moon and interplanetary space.
		The spacecraft design was similar to Zond 2[?], in addition to the imaging equipment it carried a magnetometer, ultraviolet (0.25 - 0.35 micron and 0.19 - 0.27 micron) and infrared (3 - 4 micron) spectrographs, radiation sensors[?] (gas-discharge and scintillation counters), a radiotelescope and a micrometeoroid instrument.
		It is believed that Zond 3 was initially designed as a companion spacecraft to Zond 2 to be launched to Mars during the 1964 launch window.

	Soviet Craft - Zond
		Zond 4 was similar to the later Zond 5 in design: A cylindrical capsule approximately 4.5 meters in length and 2.2 to 2.72 meters in diameter, with two solar panels attached on opposite sides of the body spanning a total of about 9 meters.
		Zond 1968A is tentatively identified as an attempted test of the Zond lunar cabin, possibly planned as a lunar flyby and Earth return as was done later with the Zond 5 probe.
		Zond 7 was launched towards the moon from a mother spacecraft (69-067B) on a mission of further studies of the moon and circulmunar space, to obtain color photography of Earth and Moon from varying distances, and to flight test the spacecraft systems.

	Zond
		Zonds 1 to 3 were 900-kg, Venera-class spacecraft sent to fly by Venus, Mars, and the Moon, respectively.
		Zonds 4 to 8, by contrast, were much larger, 5-ton vehicles derived from the Soyuz Earth orbital craft which formed an early stage of the Soviet Union’s L-1 project to send humans on circumlunar flight (see Russian manned Moon programs).
		Zond 7 looped around the Moon, sent back the first color photographs of the Moon by a Soviet spacecraft, and executed a perfect entry and landing to become the first totally successful flight of the L-1 program.

		Zond 1 headed off towards Venus in 1964, and Zond 2 was despatched towards Mars later the same year.
		Zond 3 was prepared for launching during the 1964 Mars launch window.
		Although it had no specific target of exploration, Zond 3 proved to the Soviet Union, and the rest of the world, that its scientists were capable of building and operating an interplanetary craft.

		Zond 4 (Zond 1-3 were versions of unmanned probes to Venus and had nothing to do with the circumlunar Zond's) was launched into a high (330,000 km apogee) orbit 180 degrees away from the moon.
		Zond 7 was originally scheduled for early December of 1968.
		Zond 8 was flown as a purely research circumlunar mission in October of 1970.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Zond program
		Zond (Зонд; meaning "probe") was the name given to two series of Soviet unmanned space missions from 1964 to 1970 to gather information about nearby planets and test spacecraft.
		After two failures, Zond 3 was sent on a test mission, photographing the far side of the Moon (only the second spacecraft to do so) and continuing out to the orbit of Mars in order to test telemetry and spacecraft systems.
		The unmanned circumlunar Zond 5 flight in September 1968 was part of the reason NASA flew Apollo 8 to the moon in December 1968 instead of the Earth orbital test which had been planned, because the CIA believed the Russians were planning a human flight next.

	Condon Report, Sec VI, Chap 2 -- Perception, Conception, Reporting
		On 3 March 1968 the news agency of the Soviet Union announced that the spacecraft "Zond IV" had been placed in a low "parking orbit" around the earth and would soon be launched into "outlying regions of near-earth space" (Sullivan, 1968).
		EST on 3 March, hundreds of American observers near a line from Kentucky to Pennsylvania saw a majestic procession of fiery objects with sparkling golden orange tails move across their sky.
		In the case of Zond IV the two most lengthy unsolicited reports described the apparition as a cigar-shaped craft with a row of lighted windows and a fiery tail, while the correct identifications as a re-entry were short, in some cases recovered only by later solicitation of reports.
