Complete description

This title is a richly illustrated book on the Russian vision for the future of space exploration in the next 40 years, against a backdrop of the dramatic history of the post-Soviet collapse and the remarkable recovery of the nation's space program during the past two decades. The exclusive content of the book and the photo-realistic quality of the author's artwork is based on internal strategy documents not available to the general public and therefore never seen before. The material covers the most ambitious goals of the Russian space program, such as the construction of a permanent lunar base, an expedition to Mars, missions to asteroids and the moons of Jupiter. Russia's current effort to develop the next-generation manned spacecraft, its launch vehicle and the new launch sit, initiated in 2007, are also described in detail. Top page
