[FPSPACE] New Roscosmos publication

[Kosmos327 at aol.com]

Thanks Dave and Jakob,
 
Eastview did have copies available a few months ago. Here is their link (if  
they still have any!).

I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow this book from the Library of  
Congress through my local library. A great service which only cost me $3.00. I  
couldn't take it from the premises, but was able to view it on request for 30  
days.
 
Best Regards,
 
David L. Rickman

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
Phone: (495) 631 80 79
Fax: ( 495) 631 83 87

"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.
http://www.aerocosmos.ru/files/Roscosmos_Book_TOC.pdf

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.

Dave
