| Luna-19 was a heavy orbiter modeled after the Luna-17 spacecraft, designed to house a lunokhod. It entered a low orbit, approximately 100 km above the lunar surface, on October 3, 1971, and captured five panoramas using two cameras while passing over the Moon. However, only a limited number of Luna-19 images were published, with the standout being a photograph of a lunar crater. |
