Flying Stars

Just a few decades ago, "flying stars" - artificial satellites of the Earth - appeared in the night sky. This book introduces children to the fascinating, interesting, and insightful story of how humanity managed to overcome the Earth's gravity and break into outer space. It discusses the most significant events in the history of domestic astronautics (the launch of the first satellite, Gagarin's flight, spacewalks, etc.). There is a wealth of accurate information on how astronauts are trained, how spacesuits are designed, and what difficulties may arise during the landing of a spacecraft. And, of course, young readers will learn about the "professions of satellites," becoming aware of the serious and diverse work that modern "flying stars" perform, without which human civilization can no longer do. Beautiful illustrations, crafted with great care and at the same time with imagination and humor, will help better absorb and remember what has been read.
