Ward the Moon but has not Dis. Closed the exact purpose of the flight. An official announcement said the spaceship was launched sunday a to conduct scientific explorations along the route of the flight and in near lunar space and to test a systems and units aboard the Craft.

The soviet announcement said equipment aboard the space Craft was functioning normally. It said Zond 6 first went into a parking orbit around the Earth sunday then blasted off for the Moon.
