[FPSPACE] New Roscosmos publication

[David Woods]

Folks,

The Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, has just put out a new book 
with a lot of interesting information. 

    Title: Roscosmos
    ISBN 5-94141-010-7
    RESTART Publishing House

    "This book focuses on the issues concerned with the Russian
    Federation's civilian space activities.  The Federal Space Agency
    (Roscosmos) plays a key role in the planning and implementation of
    the national space program.  This publication also attempts to look
    into the future and project where Russian space activities will be
    in the years to come"

An online PFD file has the index of contents on pages 1-5, plus pages 
222-225 showing some of the contents.

My copy of the English edition is 239 pages long and filled with a mix 
of text, tables, and illustrations that go through all of the civilian 
facilities, launch vehicles, and different spacecraft programs: past, 
present and planned future, as well as key personalities.  There are 
illustrations of all of these, some of which I have never seen before, 
such as the planned three additional Russian module additions for the 
International Space Station.  The publisher indicates that it has 
printed only 2000 copies of the English edition so it may be a little 
difficult locating a copy.
