SUMMARY:Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | Luna 26 (date provisional)
DESCRIPTION:Luna 26 (also named Luna-Resurs) is a planned lunar polar orbit
 er\, part of the Luna-Glob program\, by the Russian space agency Roscosmos
 . In addition to its scientific role\, the Luna 26 orbiter would also func
 tion as a telecommunication relay between Earth and Russian landed assets.
 \n\nThe scientific payload on board the orbiter is composed of fourteen in
 struments that will be fabricated by Russia. The payload will study the lu
 nar surface and the environment around the Moon\, including the solar wind
 \, and high-energy cosmic rays. Luna 26 will also scout sites for the plan
 ned Luna 27 landing mission.\n\nLuna 26 is the second mission of Russia's 
 new lunar program\, which includes the launch of Luna 27\, a heavy lander 
 that will study the composition of the lunar soil by collecting several sa
 mples. Luna 28\, a lunar samples return mission\, will be the first to ret
 urn samples at lunar temperature\, and will serve as a demonstration for a
  future Martian samples return mission. Finally\, Luna 29 should land a he
 avy lunar rover on the surface.\n\nOnly the year is filed. This date is a
