[FPSPACE] The Mystery of Almaz OPS-4

[Kosmos327 at aol.com]

Thank you, Sven. 
 
I recall my first memory of Almaz; I was in the 8th grade and a small  weekly 
publication called "Science News" had a report about a Soviet Space  Station 
breaking up in orbit. Little did I realize the significance of this  station 
at the time, but my fascination with the soviet space program was  already 
"sparked".
 
In reality, this book will also be a tribute to people like you who  
published some of the first great tid-bits about Almaz on the Internet. I think  
you'll enjoy this book in particular for it's technical information. I've have  
acquired some "seriously stuff" on this program.

David,

Unravelling the mysteries sorrounding the Almaz program  is a worthy task for 
a space historian.

I can still remember the  excitement  when in 1974 I picked up the signals 
from Salyut 3 and  realized it was different from Salyut 1. Little did I realize 
then the  fascinating story behind OPS and  DOS!

Sven
