The First. The Soviet Space Program

The first artificial satellite of Earth, the first human in space, the first landing of a space station on the Moon, the first landing of a space station on Mars – this list of achievements in Soviet astronautics could go... on and on. Despite the fact that the USSR suffered greatly during the Great Patriotic War, its space program was launched in the shortest possible time, which was an unprecedented achievement in the history of science and technology. How this was accomplished, what are the reasons for the phenomenal successes of the USSR in space, is elaborated in his book by Professor A.A. Alexandrov, Doctor of Historical Sciences, educated as an aviation engineer. He traces the history of the Soviet space program from the first rocket launches in the pre-war years to the flights of stations to the Moon, Mars, and Venus, and provides unique details of these and many other flights.
