It represents the significant achievements of the Soviet space scientific research that had captured the world's attention with the launch of Sputnik I in 1957. In 1959 Lunik Satellite sent back to earth the first photos of the unknown dark side of the moon, and it is these photos which give the Eastern Block a clear lead in the 'Space Race'.
