Alexander Tkachenko: Flying Stars

Just a few decades ago, "Flying Stars" - artificial satellites of the Earth - appeared in the night sky. This book introduces children to how a person managed to overcome gravity and escape into outer space in a lively, interesting and very sensible way. It tells about the most important events in the history of Russian cosmonautics (launch of the first satellite, Gagarin's flight, spacewalk, etc.). There is a lot of precise information about how astronauts are trained, how a space suit is designed, and what difficulties may arise when landing a spacecraft. And, of course, the little reader will learn about the "professions of satellites", will be aware of the serious and varied work performed by modern "flying stars", without which human civilization can no longer do. Better to assimilate and remember what you read will help beautiful illustrations, made very carefully and at the same time with fiction and humor.
