Within a decade, the Soviets not only launched the worlds first satellite, Sputnik, in 1957, but they also were the first to send an animal and a human being into Earth orbit. In the years that followed, their groundbreaking missions sent a woman into space, launched a three-man spacecraft, and included the first person to walk in space. Six decades on from the historic spaceflight of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, Burgess guides us through the amazing achievements of Russias spaceflight program through to the present day, introducing the men and women who have flown the missions that drive us to delve ever deeper into the wonders and complexities of the cosmos. 410 0$aKosmos 610 $aSoviet Union 610 $aScience 610 $aOuter Space 610 $aHistory 676 $a629.40947 700 $aBurgess$b Colin$0761860 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910795837003321 996 $aSoviets in Space$93745461 997 $aUNINA
