	Zond 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zond 6, a member of the Soviet Union's Zond program, was launched on a lunar flyby mission from a parent satellite (68-101B) in Earth parking orbit.
		Zond 6 flew around the moon on November 14, 1968, at a minimum distance of 2420 km.
		Controlled reentry of the spacecraft occurred on November 17, 1968, and Zond 6 landed in a predetermined region of the Soviet Union.

	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 program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name "Zond" (meaning "probe" in Russian) is 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 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.

	Zond
		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.

		Lunar flyby missions (Luna 3, Zond 3, 6, 7, 8) obtained photographs of the lunar surface, particularly the limb and farside regions.
		The Zond 6, 7, and 8 missions circled the Moon and returned to Earth where they were recovered, Zond 6 and 7 in Siberia and Zond 8 in the Indian Ocean.
		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 lunar-farside pictures and other data obtained from Zond 6 were the results of a difficult salvage job on the smashed wreckage of the reentry capsule.
		The Kamanin diaries confirm that Zond 6 was to be the first of two unmanned dress rehearsals, the second slated for early December, with a manned flight penciled in for January.
		The second unmanned flight was postponed after the Zond 6 disaster, and so there wasn't any possibility of attempting a manned flight in December.

		It is believed Zond 3 was intended as a companion to the Zond 2 probe to Mars, but the launch window was missed.
		Zond 3 did get as far as the orbital distance of Mars, although no contact was made with Mars.
		As with Zond 5, the gyroscope became disabled and reentry was at 20G's.

	Zond mission profiles
		Another very odd conclusion is that the first Zond attempts were clearly aimed at the Moon, and then, all of a sudden, Soviet mission planners became cautious and launched Zond 4 away from the Moon just to test communications and re-entry techniques.
		All Zond flights are tightly grouped near the minimum opening angle while the Sample-return missions cluster near the maximum.
		The reason for choosing the minimum opening angle for the Zonds could be that this condition minimized the perturbations to the trajectory caused by the moon.

		The name Zond (meaning probe in Russian) is the name given to two series of Soviet Union unmanned space missions from 1964 to 1970 to gather information about nearby planets and test spacecraft.
		They were launched on the Proton rocket which was just powerful enough to send the Zond on a free return trajectory around the moon without going into lunar orbit (the same as Apollo 13 flew in its emergency abort).
		The circumlunar September 1968 Zond 5 flight was 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.

		Also, the later Zond missions (4-8) were tests for manned lunar missions as well as missions for collecting information about the Moon.
		Although the majority of the Zond flights were oriented toward gathering information about the techniques and technologies needed to get astronauts to the Moon and back safely, they did collect other information of scientific interest.
