Defined examples — our methodology
The marked height is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Luna 2
Spherical bus diameter: 90 cm; approximate.
Luna 2 used an approximately 0.9 m spherical spacecraft bus and had a mass of about 390.2 kg. Antennas and scientific booms extend beyond the calibrated body diameter.
