The notes recording Russian explorations relate to the expedition of 1959, before the "dark" side of the moon had been recorded by the American Apollo flights. Although the photographic information for this globe was compiled in 1959, it was not accessible to the Räth until 1963, probably made so to advertise the Russians' space supremacy.
