http://www.svengrahn.pp.se/trackind/luna3/Luna3story.html http://www.svengrahn.pp.se/trackind/luna3/Luna3story.html (V. Efimov, Novosti Kosmonavtiki, August 2000.)

- orbital-decay 9y agoThanks, yes it's NK and it's quite a reputable magazine which is seldom wrong, they usually have a lot of first-hand details from archives and industry sources. I was a bit sceptical about this because any intel was in KGB/GRU hands, and they generally weren't ready to share anything with anyone, even with people working on the space program (according to Boris Chertok and many others); everything was top secret.
