Moons surface, Zond 3 image
Moons surface. Photocopy of an image taken by the Soviet lunar probe Zond 3, on 1st September 1966, showing the cratered surface of the far side of the Moon. Zond 3 was an unmanned Soviet spacecraft that was launched on 18th July 1965 and was part of the Mars 3MV project. However, the original launch window was missed making Mars unattainable, so the probe was launched as a spacecraft test instead

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing surface of the Moon, specifically the far side that remains hidden from our view. Taken by the Soviet lunar probe Zond 3 on September 1st, 1966, this image offers a unique perspective of our celestial neighbor. The cratered landscape depicted in stunning monochrome reveals the harsh and rugged nature of this extraterrestrial terrain. Zond 3 was originally intended to be part of the Mars 3MV project, but due to missed launch window opportunities for Mars exploration, it was repurposed as a spacecraft test. This historic mission marked another milestone in Soviet space exploration during the intense space race era. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its contribution to planetary science and selenology (the study of moons). It provides valuable insights into lunar geology and aids scientists in understanding the formation processes behind these craters. As we gaze upon this remarkable satellite image captured from space, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries beyond Earth's boundaries. This print serves as a testament to both Soviet Union's accomplishments and mankind's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our planet.
