Abstract

The book discusses the Soviet spacecraft of the type 'Vostok', 'Voskhod', and about American ships 'Mercury', Gemini', and 'Apollo', which are intended to be used for the delivery of man to the Moon; about future spacecraft for flight to other planets of solar system; orbital flight vehicles, intended for studying space, engines of space vehicles, are examined. In book the problems, which appear with mastery/adoption of outer space, are briefly illuminated. In description of specific samples and schematics of foreign flight vehicles, their equipment, which relate to the theme in question, there are used data published in the foreign press. The data published in the open Soviet press are used for the examination of Soviet samples of space technology. Keywords: Flight mechanics; Orbiting space stations; Pressure suits; Hypersonic flight vehicles; Structural Materials; Airframes; Russian Translations.
