Luna 11

  1966-078A


Luna-11 was a modified lunar satellite, designated E-6LF No. 101. The E-6LF probes were larger than Luna-10 and the instrument section did not separate from the DU. It was intended for lunar photography, but the attitude control failed after orbit insertion and the images were of deep space instead of the Moon.
