I have a question. Was the space craft call Lunik by the Russians? And why is it called Luna 1 by English speaking people? Does Lunik mean Moon in Russian?
And in the text I see "Luna 1 (Russian: Lunik I | Space Rocket I)". What does the pipe (|) means? What is the Space Rocket I doing there?
Thanks in advance for answering.Laudaka 11:26, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)
In the text of Luna 1, Luna 2, Luna 3, etc. I see sometimes Lunik x and sometimes Luna x. I'm in the process of changing all those toLuna x. I suppose it makes most sense to use the name by which it was called in newspapers. Does anybody know whether it was called Luna x or Lunik x in the newspapers? (I wasn't born yet so I'm not sure :-P ) Thanks in advance for answering.Laudaka 11:26, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Can Luna 1 still be located? That is, is the trajectory known well enough and is it big enough to be observable from earth?— Precedingunsigned comment added by130.233.97.85 (talk)04:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is too small to be seen by terrestrial telescopes, and due to the complexity of calculating an orbit with so many gravity sources out there, it'd be difficult to plot its orbit. A fun college project, though! --Neopeius (talk)20:17, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The cloud of sodium gas may have been over the Indian ocean briefly, but it couldn't have been there indefinitely since it was at the wrong distance for ageostationary orbit. --Doradus 13:21, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
i am new to wikipedia - maybe someone can help me by answering this question so that i may create my own pages properly in the future: why does this addition of this material not constitute a copyright violation if it was brought directly from the source webpage without modification?--James Naeger03:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This article suggests that the mission was a failure (probe supposed to hit the moon?) but doesn't say anything specific. Any information on that?—The precedingunsigned comment was added by190.40.130.44 (talk)18:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

If the periastron in less than 1 and the apoastron in greater than 1, is there a possible end to Luna 1 in the atmosphere of Earth?AMCKen03:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)AMCKen[reply]

In the text, it says, "The flux-gatemagnetometer was triaxial and could measure ± 3000 gammas." (with no specific citation). I'm not familiar with units of "gamma" for magnetic field; is this something from the Soviet literature of the time? The SI unit is tesla (lowercase, with symbol "T"); the Earth's magnetic field is 32 μT. The old CGS unit is "gauss" (lowercase, with symbol "G"); the Earth's magnetic field in those units is 0.32 G.Kelseymh (talk)03:19, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any information about how big Luna 1 was. There is a weight but no size. Seems like basic info that would be informative.Unknowntouncertain (talk)19:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
