Solo Soyuz Unmanned Test Flights
« on: 07/14/2013 07:30 pm »
In the book Soyuz A Universal Spacecraft which I am currently reading a number of unmanned Soyuz test flights are mentioned, some are gone into in great detail but others such as Cosmos 573 are listed but very little in the way of details is provided about the flights. Since this book was written have details of this flight & earlier solo test missions emerged when flying under the Cosmos banner?

Here's a screenshot from the book The Story of Space Station Mir by David M. Harland. (Page 26)

Not sure if this helps at all...

Thanks for that. Looks to be an interesting book in its own right.

Not standing at my bookshelf so I might not have exact title/author. Just a few off the top of my head, the Jenkins Shuttle book... "Moon Lander: How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module" by Thomas J. Kelly... "Chariots For Apollo" by Stoff and Pellegrino... "Wings In Orbit" edited by Wayne Hale and others.... "Riding Rockets" by Mike Mullane... "Carrying The Fire" by Mike Collins. I've not read it yet, but I hear the John Young autobiography is good, Neil Armstrong's biography "First Man" too. Others can weigh in here with many more, and someplace there is a spaceflight book thread on the forum as well.

Thanks, will look into em.

Yeah, my bad. OT. If there's any more general spaceflight book talk, move it to the thread above.
