It was the second of the Ye-1a series, modified to carry a heavier payload of 156 kilograms (344 lb) [17] and had a combined mass of 390.2 kilograms (860 lb). [18] Luna 2 was similar in design to Luna 1, [19] a spherical space probe with protruding antennas and instrumentation. [20]

Does Luna2 have any upside?

LUNA2 has some potential upside, I'm not sure how sustainable it is but I have my buy orders set at $6, $6.5, and $7 and selling around $17 to complete the 5th wave of this mini cycle. After that we will revisit and see if this price can be sustained or another major dump party to new lows.

What happened to Luna 2?

Luna 2 was a success for the Soviets, and was the first in a series of missions (lunar impactors) that were intentionally crashed on the Moon. The later U.S.-made Ranger missions ended in similar impacts. Such controlled crashes have remained useful even after the technique of soft landing was mastered. [49]
