Luna 15 Mystery Deepens at Jodrell Bank
At Jodrell Bank England scientists report Luna 15 in a 62 to 75 mile high lunar orbit with no clear plan. They note multiple radio bursts and a single rocket firing that left the probe in an unexpectedly low path near Mare Humorum while Moscow gave little detail. The mission remains puzzling and unpredictable.
