Family portrait Alexey Leonov, Soviet cosmonaut, 1965.

Photographer unknown.

They even hung a picture of Yuri Gagarin.

Those are definitely Leonov’s daughters, but why is Pavel Belyayev sitting there and not Leonov? Or is he just an extension of the family since they were on Voskhod 2 together?

Luna 1 became the first ever man-made object to reach the escape velocity of the Earth (what is also known as the second cosmic velocity), when it separated from its 1472 kg third stage. Luna 1 passed within 5995 km of the Moon’s surface on 4 January after 34 hours of flight. It went into orbit around the Sun, between the orbits of Earth and Mars. (Wikipedia)
