In this deeply researched chronology, Colin Burgess describes the
Soviet Union’s extraordinary success in the pioneering years of
space exploration. Within a decade the Soviets not only launched
the world’s first satellite, but were the first to send an animal
and a human being into Earth orbit. More than that, their
ground-breaking 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
Russia’s spaceflight programme through to the present day,
introducing the men and women who have flown the missions as we
seek to delve ever deeper into the wonders and complexities of the
cosmos.
