Launch date	Launch site	Rocket / Variant	Payload	Notes	Status
1960-04-16	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna Ye-3 #2	B	failure
Strap-on B reached only 75 percent of thrust at ignition. Four tenths of a second after liftoff it broke away from the core and the rocket exploded.
1960-04-15	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna Ye-3 #1	B	failure
The third stage RO-5 engine either did not reach full thrust or shut down early.
1959-10-04	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna 3 (Luna Ye-2A #1)		success

1959-09-12	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna 2 (Luna Ye-1A #7)	B	success
The spacecraft successfully impacted the surface of the Moon.
1959-06-18	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna Ye-1A #5	B	failure
Inertial system failed at 153 seconds after launch. Vehicle destroyed by range safety.
1959-01-02	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna 1 (Luna Ye-1 #4)	B	pfailure
Due to a ground error in an antenna that transmitted guidance information to the launch vehicle, the Blok Ye upper stage of the launch vehicle fired longer than intended and the probe missed the planned Moon impact.
1958-12-04	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna Ye-1 #3	B	failure
Core engines shut off at 245 seconds into the flight. Cause was a loss of lubrication to the hydrogen peroxide pump.
1958-10-11	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna Ye-1 #2	B	failure
Launcher disintegrated 104 seconds after launch due to longitudinal resonance of strap-ons.
1958-09-23	Baikonur	Luna 8K72	Luna Ye-1 #1	B	failure
Launcher disintegrated 93 seconds after launch due to longitudinal resonance of strap-ons.
