He examines what Russian Space Science has actually achieved in furthering our knowledge of the Solar System, focusing on the instrumentation and scientific objectives and outcomes, the information gained and lessons learnt. Boxes and charts are used extensively in order to convey in an easily understandable manner for the non-scientific reader the problems and issues addressed and solved by Soviet space science. The book opens with the story of early space science in Russia, which started when the first Russian rockets were fired into the high atmosphere from Kapustin Yar in the late 1940s. Instruments were carried to measure and map the atmosphere and later rockets carried dogs to test their reactions to weightlessness. In order to beat America into Earth orbit, two simpler satellites than originally planned were launched, Sputnik and Sputnik 2, which provided some initial information on atmospheric density, while the following Sputnik 3 carried twelve instruments to measure radiation belts, sol | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Soviet; astronomy; space exploration; space missions | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-8150-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-8149-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-8150-9 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
