1See here for a list of engraved/lithographed Russian definitive pairs known to exist with satellite overprints.
2The word "pennant" usually refers to a tapering flag on a ship or, in North America, a flag identifying a sports championship or team. The word has, however, a particular meaning in the context of early Soviet lunar and planetary spacecraft, which carried small embossed and/or engraved highly-durable titanium "plaques" with artwork (done in thermoresistant polysiloxane enamels) and information related to the Soviet Union (USSR) and to the mission. Those small plaques are referred to as "pennants". A few dozen of each type were minted, some of which were installed in the spacecraft, while others were given to VIPs and top scientists. The Luna-1 and Luna-2 pennants were unusual in that they were small spheres constructed of pentagonal pennant segments. Filled with liquid and an explosive charge, they were designed to explode on impact and scatter the pennant segments. Most of the Soviet Venera and Mars spacecraft also carried pennants. More information on Soviet spacecraft pennants can be found here.
3These stamps exist in two different printings. The second printing has brighter colors than the first. Also, in the second printing the red overprint text is shifted a little to the right compared with that of the first printing (a vertical shift may occur as well).
4There exist four versions of the overprint on this stamp, in which the position of the upper line varies slightly with respect to the lower line. The four versions are described here.
5Known fake cover, with a made-up Baikonur postmark, suspected to have been created by Boris Khoroshev from Moscow, and sold by a stamp dealer in Western Europe. There were no Baikonur Cosmodrome official postmarks until 1975 for the Apollo-Soyuz events. Reference the article written by Russian collector Oleg Vaisberg published as an Appendix called "Russian (Soviet) Space Covers" to Bruce Cranford's book Space Covers: Dictionary and Identifier. See also, an analysis of the situation in a book published in 2008 called Commemorative Space Covers from Collector Clubs of the Soviet Union, 1957 to 1980. Another indicator on these fakes is the use of a "first day" cachet that appears on most, but not all, of these fakes.
6The Luna-9 descent capsule had no retro-rocket of its own; rather, it was ejected from the mother vessel a few metres from the lunar surface and simply dropped to the ground

1AA no.: Tartuski Klub Kollektsionerov (TKK) [Tartu Collector Club] "Astronautika Annaalid" number. See Jim Reichman's Philatelic Study Report on Tartu Space Club Covers, 1962-1978, 2011. (e-mail: jgreichman (at) datawest.net). Also, no.62 is the correct number, even though it appears to be no.92!
2Known fake cover, with a made-up Baikonur postmark, suspected to have been created by Boris Khoroshev from Moscow, and sold by a stamp dealer in Western Europe. There were no Baikonur Cosmodrome official postmarks until 1975 for the Apollo-Soyuz events. Reference the article written by Russian collector Oleg Vaisberg published as an Appendix called "Russian (Soviet) Space Covers" to Bruce Cranford's book Space Covers: Dictionary and Identifier. See also, an analysis of the situation in a book published in 2008 called Commemorative Space Covers from Collector Clubs of the Soviet Union, 1957 to 1980. Another indicator on these fakes is the use of a "first day" cachet that appears on most, but not all, of these fakes.
3The word "pennant" usually refers to a tapering flag on a ship or, in North America, a flag identifying a sports championship or team. The word has, however, a particular meaning in the context of early Soviet lunar and planetary spacecraft, which carried small embossed and/or engraved highly-durable titanium "plaques" with artwork (done in thermoresistant polysiloxane enamels) and information related to the Soviet Union (USSR) and to the mission. Those small plaques are referred to as "pennants". A few dozen of each type were minted, some of which were installed in the spacecraft, while others were given to VIPs and top scientists. The Luna-1 and Luna-2 pennants were unusual in that they were small spheres constructed of pentagonal pennant segments. Filled with liquid and an explosive charge, they were designed to explode on impact and scatter the pennant segments. Most of the Soviet Venera and Mars spacecraft also carried pennants. More information on Soviet spacecraft pennants can be found here.
4Because a midcourse correction failed, Luna-4 flew by the Moon rather than making the planned lunar landing. As a result, official announcements were canceled, as was a lecture program entitled Hitting the Moon, which had originally been scheduled for Radio Moscow on 5 April at 7:45 PM.
5This Luna-4 launch cover is also a FDC for Russia 2728. Because the planned lunar landing did not take place, the vast majority of these Kniga international covers, which had been prepared for the international market with a red "Moscow International PO" cancellation, were destroyed.
6"Moscow International (Moskva Mezhdunarodnaya) Post Office" is the cancellation often used on the Soviet "Kniga International" ("International Book") philatelic covers; see Jim Reichman's Commemorative Space Covers from Collector Clubs of the Soviet Union, 2008 (e-mail: jgreichman (at) datawest.net).
