The one example that comes to mind is the Zond spacecraft (a Soyuz without an orbital module) launched by a Proton rocket. The Zond spacecrafts went around the Moon and returned back to Earth.

The Proton is much smaller than the Saturn 5 used to send Apollo 8 in a Moon orbit.

      - I suppose they could leave behind a small lunar satellite that could do useful science, or drop some pentrators. - pwokenyaw - 8/11/2005 5:15:28 PM

        The main craft doesn't have to go into lunar orbit, just the satellite that they drop off - pwokenyaw - 8/11/2005 11:11:09 PM
