From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luna 1963B (E-6 series) was the second Soviet attempt to land an unmanned spacecraft on the Moon. It was launched on February 2, 1963. The mission was a failure. The spacecraft did not make it to Earth orbit due to an upper stage gyro failure and crashed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean near Midway Island.
