Soviet Moon images were all faked- No Earth Artificial Satellites from any nation have ever orbited the Moon or landed on it.
No Artificial Satellites from Earth have ever orbited or landed on the Moon. It is all one big hoax to make the people of the Earth believe that there are no problems for Earths Artificial Satellites to propel themselves into the outer reaches of space.

All of the Earths Artificial Satellites from all the nations that supposedly visited the Moon, the majority of the photos, images, telemetry have been faked. Except what has not been faked are images, telemetry that has been able to be acquired from Artificial Satellites that are orbiting close to Earth. Images that were not clear enough in the past or could not be seen like the back-side of the Moon from close to Earth Artificial Satellites, these details were filled in by fake composite creations, either photo fakery or models have been used.

The earliest older close-up photos of the Moon from the very beginnings of the 'Space Race', were all faked. If you study carefully the photos released of the early images taken of the Moon supposedly close-up, they are very clearly faked. The faking of these close-up images of the Moon has become much more sophisticated over time with the technology of photo and model creation becoming a fine art for NASA, Russia, China and soon to enter the 'Non-Start Space Race' India, and for any other countries space agencies that will supposedly send Artificial Satellites to the Moon.

The main question really to ask is, how long will all these nations keep up this nonsensical charade?

At the beginnings of the Space Race both the USSR/Russia and the USA faked their accomplishments to pretend to outdo each other. However up to the present time the faking process has continued unabated.

An unidentified object is pointed out on the backside of the Moon, either when these fake models were made, creating an imaginary backside of the Moon. A piece of some little tool in the model making process was accidentally left on the model. Or the little anomaly that resembles a long spaceship was deliberatelly put there to propagate the myth/hoax that an alien Moon base is on the backside of the Moon. This was done as part of a deception story to take peoples attention away from the fact that no nations have made it to the Moon.

In many fake photos of the model Moons, anomalies are seen, they are actually connectors and fasteners for the model Moons, which were used when they were built. Some people mistakenly believe these anomaly shapes are spaceships, housing/building bases of some sort. Those people believe correctly they are artificially made, however they are not from aliens, they are actually just rivets, screws, ect. Also a lot of disinformation is put out by government agencies to actually make people believe that 'others' either live or use to live on the Moon.

Soviet Moon Images
[link to www.mentallandscape.com]

Luna-3
On October 7, 1959, Luna-3 returned the first images of the hidden side of the Moon. Using a phototelevision camera,
The camera held 40 frames of film, and 15 images (frames 26 to 40) were received via frequency-modulated analog video. Frames 39 and 40 may have contained calibration patterns. The full moon appears to have very little detailed texture,'(The Soviets left it to the US to make better fake models of the backside of the Moon)' because the lunar mountains and terrain casts no shadows when lit from overhead.
[link to www.mentallandscape.com]

Zond-3
One July 20, 1965, Zond-3 was the second spacecraft to view the far side of the Moon.
Using a phototelevision camera, 29 frames were exposed. (The Soviets are getting better at their fake model Moon making, however it is still very amateurish work)
You have to ask yourself, how is it possible that part of the Zond-3 as seen at the bottom left of the below photo, casts such a large outline shadow on the Moons surface? The answer is easy, the small model Moon was quite close to this fake Zond-3
[link to www.mentallandscape.com]

In the Zond-3 photo below the fake model showing the backside of the Moon has a dark square patch shape at the top right, also to the top left of the dark square patch, is a smaller square patch. It also is a nice touch that the Soviets put a lovely hart shape in the middle of the model.

This Zond-3 photo even has a bolt with a washer under it.

Heres a closeup of the bolt and washer.

In this Zond-3 photo you can see the large square dark patch up the top, lifting up slightly on its front left.

Luna-9
On February 3, 1966, Luna-9 became the first spacecraft to land on the Moon. On February 4 and 5, it transmitted 3 cycloramic panoramas from an optical-mechanical camera.( The Soviets were so lazy for these ones they didn't even bother to find an area where there was no grass and weeds, they even placed cute little stuffed toy aliens on the ground.)

Luna-12 entered orbit on October 25, 1966, carrying two phototelevision cameras of the same variety as Zond-3. This was the first Soviet craft to take close up pictures from orbit, but only a few images have ever been published:(Gee I wonder why, maybe because they only faked four photos for this mission.)
These two look like paint splashed on a wall

These two look like holes in a flat surface concrete wall

You can even see two metal clasps in the middle of this flat concrete wall

Luna-13
On December 24, 1966, Luna-13 made the second Soviet landing on the Moon. It transmitted 5 cycloramas over a period of several days (note shadows becoming less elongated).

Zond-6 flew around the Moon on November 14, 1968. A session of 111 frames was performed at a distance of 9290-6843 km, and another session of 58 frames from 2660-2430 km. A crash landing on Earth flattened and broke open the film canister, but 52 photographs were recovered with some degree of laceration and fogging. Only a few fragments of Zond-6 images have been published.
(Only a few photos were published because they couldn't be bothered faking more than a few photos)
The below Zond-6 photo shows they were not too good at faking those Moon craters, the large crater in the middle left looks like they used a lot of staples.
[link to www.mentallandscape.com]

In this Zond-6 photo a noticeable Moon crater in the middle left has been called by some people a satellite dish, sadly the more mundane answer is its a screw with washers under it.
[link to www.mentallandscape.com]

Zond-8 flew by the Moon on October 24, 1970 and returned to Earth with high quality photographs, some from as close as 1350 km.
The Soviets got better at their model Moon faking skills, however one major problem that crops up a lot, the Russians didn't make all the craters sit flush with the surroundings, most of the other Zond-8 photos show this problem for the craters not sitting flush. As you can see with these below Zond-8 photos a lot of the craters have the appearance of satellite dishes because they havn't been placed low enough.

Luna-24 was the last spacecraft to land on the Moon (Soviet or American), on August 18, 1976. Boring 2.25 meters into the Moon, it obtained a 170.1 gram core sample 1.6 meters in length.

The Soviet Unions Lunokhod 1- The spacecraft 'soft-landed' on the Moon in the Sea of Rains on November 17 1970
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
It was designed to operate for 90 days, it toured the lunar Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains) for 11 months.

Lunokhod 2 was the second of two unmanned lunar rovers landed on the Moon by the Soviet Union
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
On the 15 January 1973 it landed on the Moon, Lunokhod 2 operated for about 4 months, covered 37 km (23 miles) of terrain, including hilly upland areas and rilles, and sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80,000 TV pictures.

"Where are these photographs(Lunokhod images) now I wonder. Someone must have got them, surely?! I know the Soviets were known for being secretive people, but they'd not put a truck on the moon and then hide the pictures. Some day or moonlit night someone will find those tv pictures and will put them online."

NASA's 'Ranger Project' to the Moon
Ranger was originally designed, beginning in 1959, in three distinct phases, called "blocks." Each had different mission objectives to ensure at least one successful flight. most elements of spacecraft technology taken for granted today were untested before Ranger.
Unfortunately, problems with the early version of the launch vehicle left Ranger 1 and Ranger 2 in short-lived, low-Earth orbits in which the spacecraft could not stabilize themselves, collect solar power, or survive for long.
(Everything beyond this first phase becomes pure fantasy)
[link to www.jpl.nasa.gov]


Surveyor 1 was the first lunar lander in the American Surveyor program that explored the Moon landing June 2, 1966, a total 11,237 images were transmitted to Earth. The successful 'soft landing' in the Ocean of Storms was the 'first ever' by the U.S. on an extraterrestrial body, and came just four months after the landing of the Soviet Luna 9 mission.
The Surveyor spacecraft was designed to attain the engineering objectives of the Surveyor program, which included the 'FIRST LUNAR SOFT LANDING' by an American spacecraft. No instrumentation was carried specifically for scientific experiments, but considerable scientific information was obtained. The spacecraft carried two television cameras - one for approach, 'which was NOT used', and one for operations on the lunar surface.
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Surveyor 2 was not as successful. Following its launch on September 20, 1966, it crashed into the Moon three days later. Surveyor 4 was launched July 14, 1967, but its signal was lost 2-1/2 minutes after lunar impact.

Surveyor 3, 5, 6 and 7 repeated the initial triumph of Surveyor 1 in different sites and successively added a robot arm with scoop and a chemical element analyzer to the scientific toolkit. Surveyor 3 was launched April 17, 1967, and operated on the Moon until May 4, 1967. Surveyor 5 was launched September 8, 1967 and lasted until December 17 of that year. Surveyor 6 was launched November 7, 1967 and operated until December 14, 1967. Surveyor 7 was launched January 7, 1968 and lasted until February 21 of that year. All told they acquired almost 90,000 images from five sites.

Surveyor 3 participated in the only lunar surface rendezvous when the Apollo 12 astronauts landed nearby in November 1969. The human crew visited the 2-1/2-year-old lunar station, photographed it and the site and brought some of its parts back to Earth.

They don't want you do know where all those missing Billions and Trillions went to. So this started this hoax that NASA didnt' put a Man on the Moon via Apollo, because they didn't realy lie, they didn't use Apollo, they didn't need it.

Or how about this Soviet Molniya-2 9 satellite, which was 18,000km away from earth on its way to 39,750km when I snapped this picture?

(And yes, the maximum altitude of that satellite must be real because I tracked it based on the speed it would have to have to reach that altitude - the satellite formed a nice little dot while a star trailed by during the exposure)
