Luna 14

Luna 14 was an unmanned space mission of the Luna program, also called Lunik 14. The Luna 14 spacecraft entered lunar orbit on April 10, 1968. The spacecraft instrumentation was similar to that of Luna 10 and provided data for studies of the interaction of the Earth and lunar masses, the lunar gravitational field, the propagation and stability of radio communications to the spacecraft at different orbital positions, solar charged particles and cosmic rays, and the motion of the Moon. This flight was the final flight of the second generation of the Luna series.
