This \nincludes the lesser-known military and unmanned versions of this reliable \nspacecraft. \nWhile most works on Soviet\/Russian space operations focus on space station \nactivities, the story of the Soyuz spacecraft has been largely neglected. \nAn integral element of Salyut and Mir space station operations, the small \nferry has been the mainstay of cosmonaut transportation since 1967. In \naddition, since 1978 the unmanned freighter version called Progress has \nprovided a means in which to regularly re-supply a space station and so \nprolong its orbital lifetime. \nUsing authentic Soviet and Russian sources this book is the first known \nwork in the west dedicated to revealing the full story of the Soyuz \nseries, including a complete listing of vehicle production numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-05-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852336578\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 242cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 460\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45986266775692,"sku":"9781852336578","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852336578.jpg?v=1775682902","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852336578","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
