    Description

    This souvenir was released in honor of the launch of the Venus-1 automatic interplanetary station in February 1960 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Seven days later, the connection with her was lost. According to the available data on May 19, 1960, Venus-1 passed 100,000 km from the planet Venus and switched to heliocentric orbit. This was the first spaceship that flew so close to the planet of Venus. The central part of the souvenir depicts the orbit of the Earth and Venus
