Description:
Washington, DC: NASA, 2000. very good, very good. 1011, illus., figures, tables, footnotes, glossary, bibliographic essay, appendices, index, some creasing in margins of pp. 33-82. Part of the NASA History Series. The author weaves together three broad interpretive themes: the institutional framework of the Soviet space program and the constituencies that sometimes teamed together and sometimesfought with each other: the engineers, the artillery officers, the defense industrialists, and the Communist Party leaders; Soviet military officers' quick loss of interest in civilian space activities, since such efforts could hurt the funding potential for military rocketry; and Soviets' methods of technological innovation, with the author challenging the Western conventional wisdom that the Soviets always tended toward incremental, rather than revolutionary, innovation.
