Cosmos 300
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cosmos 300 (Ye-8-5 series) was the fourth Soviet attempt at an unmanned lunar sample return. It was probably similar in design to the later Luna 16 spacecraft. It was launched, on a Proton rocket, on September 23, 1969. The mission was a failure. The engines on the Block D upper stage failed leaving the spacecraft stranded in Earth orbit.
