Ranger 4
|
|
description:
|
|
Ranger 4 was designed to transmit pictures of the lunar surface to Earth stations during a period of 10 minutes of flight prior to impacting on the Moon, to rough-land a seismometer capsule on the Moon, to collect gamma-ray data in flight, to study radar reflectivity of the lunar surface, and to continue testing of the Ranger program for development of lunar and interplanetary spacecraft.
An onboard computer failure caused failure of the deployment of the solar panels and navigation systems; the spacecraft impacted on the far side of the Moon without returning any scientific data.
