Commentary
Lancement de Luna 1 a lieu le 2 janvier 1959 depuis Baïkonour et constitue le premier lancement réussi du programme de sondes interplanétaires Luna. Luna 1 devint ainsi le premier objet créé par l'homme à atteindre la vitesse de libération de la Terre s'affranchissant ainsi de l'attraction terrestre.
Cf. Un commentaire sur la médaille : https://medaille.hypotheses.org/479.
Luna 1 was launched on January 2, 1959, from Baikonur, marking the first successful launch of the Luna interplanetary probe program. Luna 1 thus became the first human-made object to reach escape velocity from Earth, thus freeing itself from Earth's gravity. See a commentary on the medal: https://medaille.hypotheses.org/479
