Luna Three Endeavour.

The Soviet Luna three program, these were ambitious and developed to land a man on the moon to collect samples and return him
safely to earth before the American Apollo Eagle of 1969. This was a two man process
and it is lightly both astronauts perished as there are little to no records or names,
just the landing crash site as the other astronaut may have been caught by re entry failure.
Here are the dimensions of the Russian cutaway drawing of L 3 manned lunar landing it works on the ground as complex as it sounds. The Russian lunar Lander orbited and its lander transmission was recorded 1969 the last radio transmission of a crash lunar 3. Its presume astronaut was killed before
impact. There were 3 launches, earliest record was in 1967.05.17 to 1968.04.07 as reports suggest by Russia around trip. As with (Luna 14) been photographed as it lies on its side. The E-6LS was a
radio-equipped version of the E-6 used to test tracking and communications
networks for the Soviet manned lunar program.
Otherwise the
spacecraft instrumentation was similar to that of the E-6LF and provided data
for studies of the interaction between the earth and its lunar mass. The lunar
gravitational field, the propagation and stability of radio communications to
the spacecraft at different orbital positions, happened as solar charged particles and
cosmic rays, and the motion of the Moon. Showing this museums copy the landing leg isn’t as light as the American version this was a hollow aluminium medical frame
on a booster. As a heavy landing leg to the cosmonaut's front left. Note the
solid rocket motors mounted above each leg that fired downward to settle the LK
securely on the surface once the Lander was near the surface.
Its Yangel OKB tests
proved such rockets greatly improved the chances of the rocket not toppling if
landing decent was at 30 degree slope or with one leg on a moon rock. The descent ladder
is seen on the top of the picture. As an overhead view of the
LK Lander this shows Kontakt docking system hexagonal grid like docking
structure. Exit the hatch and down the ladder these are to the right. As this is
the main view port at front of the Lander. Two high gain antennae at either
side provided transmission of television from the lunar surface to earth television in USSR which was more lightly to have been radio hardly any colour televisions. LOK ‘Orbital Module’, docking control station.
The manoeuvring panel and
controls were located where the grey as is its dummy panel. It is flanked by hand
controllers. The cosmonaut would look through the cupola to accomplish manual
docking with the LK after its return from the lunar surface' never tested. LOK Orbital Module, view down from top of spacecraft toward Soyuz
descent module. LK Test Article Sub-scale dynamic test article of a late configuration of the LK, as
preserved in the 'TsniiMash Museum'. This shows well the complex shape of the
Lunar Cabin and the final LPU configuration.
LOK Orbital Module.
Note the far greater amount of external cabling and connecting plates than in
the standard Soyuz. LOK Descent Module detail. The ablative
material is far thicker than on the standard Soyuz descent module for the
re-entry from lunar distances at twice the energy as that from earth orbit. LOK Descent Module and Orbital Module.
Note the cupola at the left top
of the Orbital Module to secure once docked always the air pressure consern. On the opposite wall are the lunar mapping camera
apertures and control station of its interior View of the dome
covering the pressurized instrument compartment of the LOK. The cosmonauts' view of the LK view ports and control panels. On the
left, environmental control and cabin de pressurisation controls (light blue
panel); radio controls (dark green panel); large porthole looking down at lunar
surface during landing. The small porthole looked upward for docking. The
optical devices that were associated with these portholes are not present in
this mock-up. To the right, sequencer panel for calling up sequences for
manoeuvres, landing, rendezvous, and docking. This made it look lightly for the soviets to be confident of an home ward bound success
As with guarded switches initiated major events. the Americans built a vacuum oven and flew around the moon as with numerous earth tests.
Here as shown transit vehicle cut in half, one of two hand controllers is
visible below the green radio panel. The upper half of
this item is the ODOP (Orientation and docking engine section) where the LOK,
mounted at the top of the orbital module. The cone at top was had grapples for
snagging the hexagonal grid of the large disk on top of the LK to angle.
Propellants for
the orientation and manoeuvring engines were in the tanks in this section. The
bottom half of this item is similar to a test installation used on the Soyuz
7K-L1S Most of which were destroyed in the several N1 launches. View of the LOK Block
I these are noticeable are the fragile radiator panels and the large
manoeuvring thrusters within the forward end.
The large cylindrical devices are
sensors of the attitude control system. As here it is showing the LOK
Block I instrument/rocket module. The fragile radiators, arrayed around the
main fuel tank, these are extended away from the body of the spacecraft in flight. The
silvery instrument section has numerous patch panels for connecting external
wiring. The tapered interstage with stringers connected to the Soyuz descent
module.

As these large 'mooring' thrusters arrayed around this section provided
high-authority manoeuvring capability for the LOK in rendezvous and docking
with the LK. Here is LK drawing at Kaluga Cutaway drawing of LK lunar lander, showing position of cosmonaut in
cabin. This is its model S5.51 LOK engine The complex plumbing fed numerous smaller attitude control thrusters at
the base of the LOK. As the LK two View two view layout drawing of LK lunar lander. Here is its Dynamic Test Model of Early LK Concept. Detail forward view
drawing of the LK lunar lander. Detail of the base of the ladder,
showing the battery racks below the ladder. Note the shape of the foot pad. Overall view of the LK preserved in the 'Orevo Museum of the Bauman
Moscow State Technical University'.

LK Main Engine The LK engine cluster at the base of the lander. The single chamber
RD-858 of the 2,050 kgf main engine is at the centre. It is flanked by the two
nozzles of the RD-859 2,045 kgf backup engine. The smaller nozzles are exhaust
nozzles for the turbines, these of the pump-fed engines. At landing or takeoff, both
the primary and backup engines would ignite. Only if both engines were
operating, this meant would one shut down. The thick clamshell doors closed over the
engines after landing to insulate them and prevent ingestion of lunar soil go legs back from the moon. Soyuz LOK lunar orbiter. S5.51 LOK engine Side view of the twin-chamber Isayev S5.51. This engine used in the Soyuz
7K-LOK lunar orbiter. The two smaller chambers of the S5.52 supplemental engine protrude beyond the main engine bells to either side.
LOK Lunar Orbiter The Soyuz 7K-LOK lunar orbiter
spacecraft to be used in the L3 lunar landing project complex. Chelomei LK-700 manned direct lunar landing spacecraft - cruise and
landed configurations. Soyuz 7K-LOK manned lunar orbit
spacecraft. With Krechet Spacesuit for the lunar walk. Front view of the Krechet lunar space suit Krechet Spacesuit. Krechet lunar space suit as displayed at 'NPO Zvezda Museum. As in the Orlan
suit still used on Mir, the cosmonaut entered the suit by swinging open a hatch
at the rear. The backpack containing the life support system was housed in the
backpack which made up into the hatch door. As in Apollo, the gold-coated outer
visor of the helmet reflected ultra-violet radiation. The integrated Kretchet
design meant that no external hoses were required as in the American Space Suits. As yet lunar three landing site hasn't showed up on NASA satellite imaging. Just a voice recording that they were going to fast, as that would make for another resemblant crater.
