| Title | Interkosmos : The Eastern Bloc's Early Space Program |
| Author(s) | Burgess, Colin;Vis, Bert |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XIII, 321 p. 257 illus., 147 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book focuses on the Interkosmos program, which??was formed in 1967, marking a fundamentally new era of cooperation by socialist countries, led by the??Soviet Union,??in the study and exploration of space. The??chapters shed light on the space program that was at that time a prime outlet for??the Soviet Union's aims at becoming a world power. Interkosmos??was a highly publicized Russian space program??that rapidly became a significant propaganda tool for the Soviet??Union in the waning years of communism. Billed as an international?????research-cosmonaut??? imperative, it was also a high-profile means of??displaying solidarity with the nine participating Eastern bloc countries.??Those countries contributed pilots who were trained in Moscow for??week-long ???guest??? missions on orbiting Salyut stations. They did a little??subsidiary science and were permitted only the most basic mechanical??maneuvers. In this enthralling new book, and following extensive international??research, the authors fully explore the background, accomplishments??and political legacy of the Interkosmos program. Through personal and??often highly revealing interviews with many of the participants they??relate the very human story behind this extraordinary but controversial??space venture |

| Title | Russia's Cosmonauts : Inside the Yuri Gagarin Training Center |
| Author(s) | Hall, Rex D;David, Shayler;Vis, Bert |
| Publication | New York, NY, 1. Imprint: Praxis
2. Springer New York, 2005. |
| Description | XXXIV, 386 p. 220 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | With the aid of unique photographs, first-hand interviews and historical resources, Rex Hall, Dave Shayler and Bert Vis explain, for the very first time, how Russian citizens have been selected and trained to fly in space, and how these procedures have changed during the past 40 years. The authors also describe the evolution of the often overlooked ground support infrastructure and how the role of cosmonauts has changed from the very earliest days of the Gagarin era, through the demise of the Soviet Union, to the era of international co-operation and collaboration on programmes such as the International Space Station. The book will provide much important background information and insight to the operational Soviet/Russian manned space programme, already covered in other Springer-Praxis titles, but revealing information and facts not covered elsewhere, and providing a unique reference source for all those who wish to understand the changing role of Russian cosmonauts in today???s global space programme |
