1966: Luna 10 (USSR)

Luna 10 was an unmanned space mission of the Luna programme, also called Lunik 10. The Luna 10 spacecraft was launched towards the Moon from an Earth orbiting platform on 31 March 1966. It was the first artificial satellite of the Moon (or another heavenly body, for that matter). The spacecraft entered lunar orbit on 3 April 1966 and completed its first orbit 3 hours later.

The spacecraft played back to Earth The Internationale during the Twenty-third Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Luna 10 was battery powered and operated for 460 lunar orbits and 219 active data transmissions before radio signals were discontinued on 30 May 1966.

The Russian Lunar robots delivered Lunar ground to the Earth as well.

The 1st Russian Lunokhod started its way on the Moon on November, 17 1970. The Lunokhod-1 covered 10 km 540 m in 154 days. It made 500 ground tests, 25.000 photographs and took 200 panoramic sights. In 1972-1976, the robots Luna-20, Luna-24 and Lunokhod-2 continued research of the Moon. For the first time in history the Moon was reached by the Russian apparatus Luna-2 on September 14, 1959. The Luna-2 delivered a pennant of Russia on the Moon and shuttered thus the Moons peace and quiet.

Hi , I've made a "lego" lunokhod.See my youtube channel.

I would really enjoy to add a short sequence of your video (that is between 0:20 and 0:40) in my lego-movie.

Is it possible to send me or to tell me where I could download a mpeg or avi file ? Thank you.
