TODAY IN HISTORY: The Soviet Union’s Luna 16 probe landed on the Moon, September 20, 1970.
Highlight 35 - Luna 16
(What a Soviet robotic lunar lander looked like. From here)
This is going to be a short highlight. More of a PSA with a bit of commentary really.
Everyone knows that so far the US is the only nation to ever land people on the Moon. What not everyone knows is that the US isn’t the only nation to send a spacecraft to the Moon and bring back soil samples.
The USSR did it three times, starting in September 1970 (I probably should have done this last week to be closer to the 45 year anniversary) with Luna 16.
To me this is the biggest demonstration in favor of the argument that it isn’t necessary to used manned missions for exploration purposes. Luna 16 didn’t accomplish as much science as Apollo 11, but it did send back soil samples, television footage, and radiation and temperature data from the Moon despite being launched by a rocket about 1/7 the size of the Saturn V.
I like manned space flight, and I like space settlement. But I don’t kid myself that manned space exploration is the only or the best way to gather information about the other worlds in our solar system.

Although it completed its mission after the first crewed Lunar landing, Luna 16 is notable for having achieved the first completely robotic sample return mission from the surface of another celestial body. The Soviet craft launched on September 12, 1970, and landed on the Moon’s Sea of Fertility on September 20. The craft is also historic for making the first landing on the Moon during the local night, all previous missions landing during periods of sunlight.
The descent module of the craft was equipped with television cameras, temperature and radiation equipment, and a sample arm with a small drilling ring, while the ascent module consisted of a reentry vehicle, sample canister, and small rocket motor. The drill reached a depth of 35 centimeters in the lunar regolith before encountering solid rock. This material, about 101 grams in all, was then transferred to the sample canister in the ascent stage. Twenty-six hours after landing on the surface, the ascent stage of the craft lifted off from the surface on a direct trajectory for the Earth, arriving three days later, on September 24. Luna 16 was the first mission to return lunar samples by the Soviet Union, and was the first of three successful attempts by them to return samples.
