  Yes, I know, but what I think is : which Cosmos is 724, which Cosmos is 725, which Cosmos is 726 ?

• You think that they aren't in the same linear order?
• #33 by Nicolas PILLET on 27 Sep, 2008 10:09
• Sometimes they are not... You know, the logic in Russian designation is often quiet strange !  :-)
