I agree that it makes sense for Yenisey-2 to be merged into this article. ThreeBlindMice 20:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Upon complete reading of this article I'd say that most of the information contained in Yenisey-2 is already included here under Lunar Photography. Thus, merging the remaining information from Yenisey-2 seems the obvious thing to do. ThreeBlindMice 20:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, it makes sense to merge Yenisey-2 into this article. Ricnun 22:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

There wasn't much information in the Yenisey-2 article that wasn't already here, so I just grabbed what was missing and completed the merge. Hope no one minds. ThreeBlindMice 01:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Merging was the proper thing to do. The Yenisey-2 system was used only on the Luna 3 mission so it was unnecessary to have a separate, common article for other missions to link to. A Stand Up Guy 15:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Apoastron and periastron are incorrect terms, as the sattelite was orbiting Earth, not a star. Apogee and perigee are the correct terms.203.143.164.204 04:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Much of the body of this article has been plagiarised from http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/masterCatalog.do?sc=1959-008A. If someone could paraphrase the text so that this isn't an issue?? 130.217.188.28 (talk) 04:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and both this article and the NASA page have many mistakes. They are ultimate derived from old Western publications rather than research from Russian sources. It needs extensive revision. DonPMitchell (talk) 04:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
