Soyouz!
J'ai vu cette maquette en grandeur reel a Cite de l'espace a Toulouse.
From wikipedia:
Soyuz programme:
The Soyuz human spaceflight program was initiated in the early 1960s as part of the manned lunar programme that was intended to put a Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon. The Soyuz spacecraft and the Soyuz launch vehicle are both part of this program. The name "Soyuz" means "Union" in Russian.
The Moon objective was abandoned when technological problems meant that the US would reach the Moon first. Soyuz survived the demise of the manned lunar program in that it developed into a variety of projects (both military and civilian), mostly in conjunction with space stations.
A Soyuz spacecraft consists of three parts (from front to back):
a spheroid orbital module
a small aerodynamic reentry module
a cylindrical service module with solar panels attached |
