Great Spaceflight Encyclopedia,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Soviet Spacecraft (Hardcover)
This hardcover book describes Soviet ( Russian ) hardware at its best. It covers the Soviet manned and unmanned missions up to MIR space station. Both informative and great documentation value, great photos and drawings of all Russian hardware.

Excellent Images,

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Soviet Spacecraft (Hardcover)
Perhaps the best collection of images of Soviet Space hardware I've ever seen. Many of the photos seem to have been taken in a museum. Best of all are the up close, detailed images of probes and spacecraft.
Drawbacks: Published in the late 80's, it's a bit dated. Its frequent use of the "older" nomenclature for boosters and spacecraft make it hard at times to compare with today's name for the same item. For example, the Soyuz booster is today said to be based on the R-7 rocket, while in this volume it's called "A-1." However, the fault is entirely that of the Soviet Government, who were forever changing the names of design bureaus, launch centers and spacecraft. |
