The Lunik Kidnapping
Project Name : The Lunik Kidnapping

It sounds like something out of a 1960s spy film. It was The Lunik Kidnapping, a bold operation by the CIA to steal and study a Soviet spacecraft, during the Cold War. The Lunik was being lauded by the Soviet Union as an important step forward in studying the moon, and it was part of a traveling exhibition at the time. This wasn’t a fully-operational version of the Lunik, but its outer shell was still seen as a valuable informational asset to the CIA. Agents were able to intercept, open up and study the Lunik at a rail yard, and discovered that some of the internal mechanisms were left behind. These were confiscated and brought back to the U.S. for study.
