Venera 5 and Venera 2 Probes, Moscow, 1969

Venera 5 and Venera 2 Probes, Moscow, 1969

I believe the vessel on the left is a model of Venera 5, which launched in early 1969. To its right -- based on the solar panels -- is a Venera 2. Up to the right is a Proton probe.

Seen in the Cosmos Pavilion of the All-Russian Exhibition Centre.

Proton Satellite, Moscow, 1969

This model of the Proton hung inside the Cosmos Pavilion of the All-Russia Exhibition Centre. In the background, a Kosmos rocket and Vostok space craft are visible. Proton-1 and Proton-2 were identical satellites with identical scientific payloads. Here's a bit about them from NASA.
