Luna 1966A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luna 1966A was the third Soviet attempt to orbit a spacecraft around the Moon (the first attempt being the unsuccessful Cosmos 111 mission and the second being the successful Luna 10 mission). The design was probably similar in design to the ealier Luna 10 spacecraft or the later Luna 11 spacecraft. It was launched on April 30, 1966. The mission was a failure. The launcher did not reach Earth orbit.
