Mongolia 1959
Luna 3
Left (vertical): A fanciful representation of Luna 3 being launched to the Moon.
The design of the rocket is entirely imaginary, as no pictures of actual
Russian space launchers had been released at the time.
Right (horizontal): Luna 3 with a crude representation of the far side of the
Moon based on Luna 3’s pictures.
