Soyuz:
A Universal Spacecraft by
Rex Hall, David J. Shayler
Review of the
development and operations of the Soyuz family of
spacecraft. This includes the lesser-known military and
unmanned versions of this reliable spacecraft. The Soyuz
has been the mainstay of cosmonaut transportation since
1967. It was the main transport of Salyut, Mir and is
now the Russian transport for the International Space Station. Since 1978 the unmanned
freighter version called Progress has provided a means
in which to regularly re-supply a space station and so
prolong its orbital lifetime. Also includes a complete
listing of vehicle production numbers.
