Р-7 Легендарная Семерка

The first intercontinental ballistic missile in the world. The first artificial satellite of the Earth. The first man in space. The first soft landing on the moon. Birth of the Strategic Missile Forces. The Soviet Union owes all these triumphs to the legendary "Semyorka" - the "ultra-long-range missile" R-7, created under the leadership of S.P. Korolev. The head of NASA called it "the most reliable spacecraft in the world" - out of 1800 launches of carrier rockets based on the "Semyorka" 97% were successful. In the new book by the leading historian of cosmonautics, you will find comprehensive information about this epoch-making masterpiece of Soviet geniuses, about the taming of fire, and the meteoric rise of the space superpower.
